A look at Guzman

As we get closer to moving on to language school and then to Ciudad Guzman, Mexico, I wanted to share some pictures from my latest mission trip to Guzman, so you could get a better feel for the area we're hoping to move to, and the ministry we feel that God is calling us to.  Hope you enjoy, and ask any questions you like!  The more information we get out, the better you can pray for us!

One of many large Catholic churches in Guzman... this one is directly on the main plaza on the south side.

One of the oldest Catholic churches in Guzman.

The Baptist church I've been able to work with some... one of the few, tiny faithful churches seeking to share the Gospel with Guzman.

This is the front gate for the Universidad de Guadalajara del Sur - One of 4 universities in Guzman, and the one we're hoping to live next to and begin ministry with once we move there.


A neighborhood near the University were we're looking at moving into.

One of the many canals for drainage when the city gets one of its rainstorms with 10+ inches of rain.

More ideas of homes near the campus.

This one is for sale!  And only 2 blocks from the university campus!!

More wonderful homes near campus.

The neighborhoods near the university are beautiful, and just what we had in mind when we wanted to move into the area.

We pray that the Lord will lead us to the right home to rent (or eventually buy) that will be a base for Bible studies, meals, and other ministry and outreach in the area.

The churches are beautiful, but the religion is dead, and doesn't offer the true Gospel that will bring people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Overlooking the volcano (Nevado de Colima) and the south end of town from the Ecological Park above the town.

The central/north central part of Guzman as seen from the Ecological Park.

Excited to soon make this our home!


Getting to preach on Palm Sunday at La Primera Iglesia Bautista in Guzman! I love sharing the Word!

This is just a taste of how great this city is!  We can't wait to tell you more about it in the coming weeks!
