"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him." Philippians 13:2
It is God in us that empowers us to do what He has called us to do! All we need to do is lean on Him.
We have a lot of updates this month! Be sure to read below to see how you can get involved and how you can be praying for us over the coming weeks.
Pastor Fabian
Last month, we introduced you to Pastor Fabian, the pastor at Solo Cristo Salva in Tuxtla Gutierrez. Pastor Fabian lost part of his leg in a train accident almost 20 years ago and has been using a prosthetic since then. His prosthetic recently broke, limiting his ability to get around. He has been using crutches and a wheelchair for the last few weeks and is doing his best to continue serving the Lord. You can view a short video of Pastor Fabian by clicking the photo below.
Thanks to your donations, we have raised $2,675! Help us reach our goal of $9,500 to bless Pastor Fabian with a new prosthetic leg. If you feel led to give toward this project, click the link below and use the drop-down "Pastor Fabian Prosthetic Leg."

Youth Camp
Last month, Iglesia Jesucristo Sobre la Roca hosted a youth camp in Atoyac, Guerrero. We were able to sponsor Franklin from Casa de Esperanza, the women's home in Tuxtla Gutierrez, so he could attend the camp. The students drove 26 hour round trip by bus to go to camp! Thank you to everyone that helped put on the camp for the students. We know this was a blessing to Franklin and all the other students that attended.
Ministry in Tuxtla
Barbara has been hard at work ministering to the people of Tuxtla! She and her team have been making home visits to deliver groceries, hosting a Bible study for children in a local village, taking children to swimming classes, and hosting English classes for free each week. We are thankful for the ministry that is taking place through meeting these practical needs of people in Tuxtla. Thank you, Barbara, for your heart and all of your work!
Church Builds
We're looking forward to welcoming Cottonwood Creek Church from Allen, Texas, and Hope Fellowship from Frisco, Texas, this month! We will be building two churches; one out of Tuxtla and one out of Chenalhó. We would love for you to partner with us in prayer as these teams join us to continue spreading the word of God to the people of Chiapas. Be sure to follow us on social media to see updates on these teams!
You can also begin praying for our team from Heartland Church from Carrollton, Texas that will be joining us next month to build another church outside of Chenalhó!
Thank you for your continued support of Pogue Family Missions and for being a part of sharing the love of Christ in Mexico. We believe that God will continue to change lives and are so excited to play a part in bringing glory to His Kingdom.
