Local missionaries deliver message



Ten people from Enid’s Central Assembly of God recently spent spring break in Monterrey, Mexico, delivering the Gospel.

Seven students and three adults from Ignition Student Ministries teamed with Partnership International and Affect Destiny to pass out “The Book of Hope” to more than 14,000. The team also had the opportunity to visit with children in orphanages, children’s hospitals and on the street as they fed the hungry and ministered to children coming from extreme poverty.

The team performed dramas and skits in open air rallies in city parks. They even had the opportunity to be the halftime entertainment at a semi-pro soccer game in Monterrey.

The team invited people to view the “Godman” video in the communities where they ministered.
