“UNIDAS EN AMOR”

“UNITED IN LOVE”

Submitted by Sonia Uribe de Arroyo – Mexico City

The disciples in the Mexican Republic are united in love together to give glory to God, so that many women can see that we are His disciples.

John 13:35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,

if you love one another.”

Sisters from the Church in Guadalajara.

We want to share with each one of you some of the miracles that God did this year around the Mexican Republic within the framework of International Women's Day.

The churches in Mexico for two years could not meet due to the pandemic. It has still been difficult in some places, so it was a great joy to see the power of God this year in the women's ministry: to be able to see each other, to hug each other, to see sisters who for some reason had not been able to connect online consistently with us, to see others who had been very sick with Covid, but whom God had healed. Sadly, we miss our sisters who passed away during the pandemic. We trust they are with Jesus.

We hosted many International Women’s Day in-person events all over Mexico; some were held on Zoom, with guests from other countries. Our sisters hosted special events in homes, gardens, as well as in rented venues.

It was amazing to see the creativity of the sisters who prepared each event, the commitment to excellence. Especially it was wonderful to see how the Word of God worked that day in many hearts of our women friends, who have since begun to study the Bible with us.

This year we have had 44 baptisms of women in the Mexican Republic and 5 women who have been restored in their faith.
