"We love each other because he loved us first." 1 John 4:19
It is our job to extend love to everyone because that is exactly what Jesus has done for us. We want to encourage you to love the people around you, even when it's hard, and share the love that Jesus has put inside of you with the people you come in contact with.
We have lots of great updates on what has happened in the last month plus some exciting news on what's coming up in Chiapas!
Church Build Out Of Tuxtla
We hosted two back-to-back church builds in August! The first church build was out of Tuxtla in San Ramon, Chiapas. The members of this church began planting seeds and selling the harvest to build their church. When we found out about them, they only had one bag of concrete left and lots of building still to be done. Thank you to Cottonwood Creek Church in Allen, Texas, for your financial support of this project and to the team that came down to help finish the church build.
Church Build Out Of Chenalhó
Our second church build was in a community about two hours from Chenalhó. Another church in Chenalhó planted this church. Pastor Maria travels two hours Sunday to pour into this community. Even with the little she has, she is doing everything she can to ensure the Word of God spreads to the surrounding communities. We are so thankful to Hope Fellowship in Frisco, Texas, for financially supporting this church build and bringing a team town to help finish this project.

We are looking forward to hosting a pastor's conference next month. We will spend two days in Chenalhó and one day in San Fernando, pouring into pastors from all over Chiapas. We know the conference will be excellent training and ministry time for all that attend. Join us in prayer for this upcoming event!
Pastor Fabian
We want to say a huge 'thank you to everyone that donated toward Pastor Fabian's new prosthetic leg! Thanks to your giving, we reached our goal of $9,500. Pastor Fabian was brought to tears by the news and is excited to receive his new prosthetic leg soon.
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.
