| Several FBC members recently participated
in the birth of a new church in Matamoros, Mexico. On April 26, 2008, a
recognition service was held at Belen de Judea Baptist church in
Matamoros signifying their change in status from mission to church.
First Baptist presented the church a beautiful certificate of
congratulations and received a lovely plaque from the new church with
thanks for our provision of property for them. The service was followed
by lunch provided by the new church. |

| FBC has partnered with the Belen
de Judea Baptist Church in Matamoros, Mexico, since 2002. Our
work has consisted of VBS, adult Bible studies, evangelistic
services, and will include a medical missions ministry. Shown
are scenes from this church and from their baptismal service
held in March, 2006, in the Laguna Madre. |

| Happiness and better vision were brought
to a number of residents of Matamoros, Mexico, on Saturday, May 19,
2007, as a group of workers from First Baptist spent the day checking
vision, reading prescriptions, and providing glasses for those who came
to Belen de Judea Baptist Church. Spiritual counseling was also
provided by the church's pastor, Manuel de la Cruz. Workers enjoyed
visiting with new and old friends who came to the vision clinic. Future
plans include returning to Matamoros for another vision clinic later
this year. |
