Activities

There are currently two ecclesias in Jalisco State, Mexico. While the brothers and sisters in Guadalajara continue to meet in the hall for Memorial service, the brothers and sisters in Santa Cruz el Grande have been meeting online for memorial service and classes. Many of the brothers and sisters live far away and can’t attend in person. There is a rapidly growing number of Bible classes being given online from Santa Cruz el Grande for the public. These new students are being generated from Google advertising across Mexico.

The Brethren have adapted to internet preaching and are able to reach people who they would not have been able to through Bible classes on Zoom and other apps. One Brother is preaching using his new iPad. Another Brother holds a number of Bible classes online with various contacts, and is very enthusiastic about spreading the gospel. There are 6 people currently studying for Baptism.

Mexico Visit 2025
By Bro. Dave Collister and Bro. Dennis Paggi, Link Team for Mexico
Brother Dennis Paggi and I decided to go to Mexico in October for our yearly visit and to give a study weekend for the brothers and sisters in the Guadalajara area. We had a pleasant flight down and were met by a smiling Sister Cynthia Paiva de Lopez. Brother and Sister Gabriel and Cynthia are the resident missionaries, and always make us feel very welcome. After we arrived at their house, we spent some time chatting and catching up, and then looking at all the fruit trees in their garden. This time of the year is very pretty in Guadalajara. The rainy season is almost over, and the flowers are all in bloom. The temperature is very pleasant, and the skies are filled with beautiful cumulus clouds. continue reading

Activities in Latin America
By Bro. Dennis Paggi, Chairman CBMA
Though COVID is still around, our ecclesias in Latin America have returned to more normal functioning.  We are thankful to report four convivencias were held in 2025 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador and Panama sponsoring events. There was wide international participation from Latin America, and most of our teachers and leaders were local brothers and sisters. Much like our Bible Schools in North America, these events serve a number of purposes: spiritual instruction, fellowship, friendship and a place where our young people can meet each other.  With the emergence of the internet, many of the relationships (younger and older) which begin at a convivencia continue afterwards through regular communication. continue reading
