Illescas with Zacatecas Bible Church

Exciting News: Church Planting in

Zacatecas, Mexico!

Dear friends and family,

The Illescas Family

We’re excited to finally share the next chapter in our journey of serving the Lord.

After much prayer and seeking God’s direction, He has clearly led our family to be part of church planting ministry in Zacatecas, Mexico. This opportunity is both humbling and exciting, and we are stepping forward with faith in His provision and guidance.

In this ministry, we will be:

--Serving alongside a new church plant: The church in Zacatecas has grown to over 150 members and meets for

two services. David will be joining the leadership team at Iglesia Biblica Zacatecas helping lay a solid foundation

for a gospel-centered, elder led, multiplying church.

--Teaching theological classes to help equip church members and youth in sound doctrine and biblical literacy.

--Discipling young couples, walking with them as they grow in their faith and learn to lead in their homes, communities, and churches.

This year was our last year serving at Macedonian Christian Academy. David has been serving there for the last five years! Though bittersweet we are excited to step out in faith and ready to serve the Lord in this new chapter. While preparing to go we have moved into my grandparents house while David works full time over the summer. We will spend the next few months raising financial and prayer support, and continuing to serve in our church Redeemer Español. We believe that God is calling people to join us in this mission—through prayer, encouragement, and financial partnership.

Would you consider walking with us in this next step of obedience to Jesus?

We are grateful for your love, support, and prayers. Thank you for being part of what God is doing in and through our family. We can’t wait to share more as things unfold!

Prayer Requests

--Wisdom as we step out in faith

to raise the support neccesary

for the mission field.

--Smooth transitions navigating

lots of changes as a family in

the coming months.
