Taking Back Torreón

TAKING BACK TORREÓN FOR CHRIST

Dear Partners in the work of Christ,

The Mission

You have a new opportunity to participate in the advance of the Lord’s kingdom in the foreign field. Torreón, México has been targeted as the sight of a new church plant by the Christian Community of the Laguna, a congregation of the Lord’s church in Lerdo, where my fiancée serves as director of children’s education. The metropolitan area of the Laguna includes the cities of Torreón, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo with a total of close to one million people.

Christian Community in Lerdo has a strong, healthy congregation of 500 members that reaches the cities of Lerdo and Gómez Palacio, but now, in its 16th year the congregation is strategizing to establish a new congregation in Torreón, the largest of the three cities. The preacher invited me to participate in this ministry with six members of the Lerdo congregation earlier this year, and the Lord has opened the door for me to go teach in a local university starting in August.

This opportunity would allow me to connect and develop relationships with students, faculty and their families while gradually starting group Bible studies. The objective is to form a congregation in Torreón after the first new believers are baptized, and equip them to minister in the power of the Spirit back to their families and friends. I will be working together under the guidance of the ministers and elders there. By God’s power and guidance, you and I can reach this city.

My Job

I will be working mornings at the Autonomous University of the Laguna teaching English, and in the afternoons and evenings I will dedicate time to evangelism, Bible studies, and eventually leadership training. I look forward to your participation and continued communication. Exciting things are in store!

How Can You Help?

1. Prayer Partners – we need partners who will be dedicated to pray regularly for the lost in the city God has called us to, our financial provision, and for our ministry.
   
2. One-time Financial Gifts – one-time gifts are needed to help with my move and transition from Abilene to Torreón.
   
3. Monthly Financial Support – for those who are called to give on a regular basis, we have a monthly need of $1,750 to cover personal expenses over the next year.

Checks can be sent to the Kingdom Advance School of Ministry with a note attached setting the funds aside for Brian Hailey. Please do not write my name directly on any part of the check.

Thank you for your love and participation,
Brian Hailey
