APRIL-MAY 2026: Discipleship Ministry Trip

  • Drove over 5,300 miles from April 24 through May 11th and returned safely. I was well-guarded by Him.
  • Visited 8 Mexican churches: Guadalajara (1), Huixtla (3), Tuxpan (1), Tazapatan (1), Chapala (1), and Tampico (1).
  • Delivered 130 donated chairs to The Church of the Nazarene in Guadalajara.
  • Initiated 4 discipleship classes with 40 students: Mi Experiencia Con Dios (MECD). When the discipleship mission trip started on April 24th, 30 students were signed up to receive the study, yet 40 MECD books were purchased for the trip. While visiting the churches, ten more students signed up to start the study. Six students have already agreed to serve as MECD mentors at six different Church of the Nazarene locations in northern Mexico. Faith in God and walking in His path will produce fruit.
  • Initiated a New Believer study. Nuevo Creyente was well received, and several pastors stated that they had been praying for such a study to be made available. BTCA distributed 50 books for use in evangelism events. The new believers will be mentored for 8 weeks and baptized at a local church. The plan is to take 200 books in August and November.
  • Attended EXPONaz: Held in Guadalajara, April 30 through May 2nd. Dr. Cordova, Church of the Nazarene Mexico Field Strategy Coordinator, invited BTCA to attend EXPONaz. The BTCA booth received many visitors interested in a holistic approach to breaking the cycle of poverty and other cycles that prevent one from following Jesus.
  • Awarded a 3-year university scholarship: Esther Anzueto of Huixtla, BTCA Ambassador of Evangelism, received a BTCA scholarship to study social work. Esther has an evangelism organization in Huixtla, Salvacion-Oracion-Servicio (SOS), that evangelizes in areas other groups rarely visit. This degree will further improve her efforts to reach lost souls.
  • Attended an evangelism event at the Annex (Anexo). Hermana Esther Anzueto, SOS director, led it. The Annex is a rehabilitation center in Huixtla. This center houses drug- and alcohol addicted men, ordered by the court system to be there. These men come from troubled and dangerous backgrounds and are incarcerated there for 8 weeks. They were given Bibles and several personal hygiene items. In the photo below, their faces are covered to protect them from the outside.
  • Made agreements to attend an Expo in August at the Universidad Latinoamericana located in Huixtla and to participate in a Huixtla city-wide evangelism event in September. Local churches (40) from all denominations will be invited to attend a preventive care (PC) clinic using the PC kits BTCA donated last year. If God wills it, many attendees will find Christ.
  • The BTCA ministry has two more trips scheduled for this year. Discipleship and New Believer studies will be initiated in Mexico and Guatemala. BTCA is also planning to take part in several evangelism events while in Mexico and Guatemala.
  • The ministry trip was cut short by my sister Alvilda’s death. On May 10th, I left my trailer in Mexico and drove 20 hours to make it to the Amarillo hospital in time. I spent the last few hours of her life holding her hand, praying, and singing to her. I attended her funeral in Hollis, Oklahoma, on May 23, 2026.
  • That said, it is truly amazing what God is doing with this aged, bad-back, tired, TBI-recovery man. Join me in this journey, or start your own journey with Jesus. I am not seeking worldly rewards, but merely striving for the best reward God offers us: Eternal Life. All the glory to God, and God is good!
  • Thank you for your prayers and donations. I look forward to your continued support. May God bless you, and I love you in Christ’s name

August-September 2026: Discipleship Ministry Trip

BTCA is planning to visit churches in Veracruz, Guadalajara, and Huixtla, Mexico, for our second education ministry effort. If God allows, we will initiate six “Mi Experiencia Con Dios” (MECD) Bible study groups. This small-group, 12-week course will guide participants through a learning process of how God communicates with us.

Accomplishments as of 17 August 2026

  2. Graduated 32 MECD students.
  3. 5 mentors were added to three churches (Total of 12 since the ministry started)
  4. Initiated four new groups for a new discipleship study, Escucha la voz de Dios.
  5. Initiated three MECD discipleship classes with 90 students.
  6. Initiated two new evangelism programs with MECD alumni.
  7. Delivered two suitcases of donated clothing to three churches.

APRIL-MAY 2025: JAPAN EVANGELISM MINISTRY TRIP

BTCA went to make disciples in Japan. The Word is known in Japan for a few. We sought to increase this number while visiting Osaka and Naha, Japan. Many Japanese people speak English, so we did not expect translation issues.

We visited and attended services at New Hope Osaka. We met with Pastor James Hettinger and his congregation. It was an extraordinary meeting with fellow Christians of diverse backgrounds. The twenty donated Bibles were greatly appreciated and will be used for evangelism efforts. Each bible is a seed that will be planted. From there, it will multiply exponentially. This is in God’s Hands at this point. I spoke with a young lady who was born in Guatemala. Her parents have been missionaries in Guatemala and are now there.

Expo 2025 Osaka is in full swing, and we attended to see how His Word is spread. I met a young man from Guatemala named Brandon. He was given a coin of the Armor of God. We reminisced about our time in Guatemala and exchanged contact information.

July 2025: Oklahoma Goodwill Mission

BTCA received word that a brother in Christ with stage 4 colon cancer required a wheelchair ramp. We traveled to Oklahoma to finance and build him a ramp. This is yet more evidence that Jesus is at work in our lives. After many years of building ramps, He calls His servant into action. The servant fulfills His Word and serves Him. All glory to God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

A big thank you to Nori for her monetary donation. Also, thank you, Manuel, Ray, and Angela, for helping build the ramp. We would not have completed the ramp without your invaluable help.

Update 2025_0827: Robert Martinez, the ramp recipient, passed away on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Robert’s battle with cancer was brutal and made it necessary to have a well-functioning ramp. Robert will be dearly missed by all.

September 2025: Mexico/Guatemala Discipleship Ministry Trip

BTCA accomplished the following:

  1. BTCA established five extra preventive care clinics in Mexico and Guatemala.
  2. Started a 12-week-long bible study entitled ‘My Experience With God’. Over fifty students are enrolled in this course.
  3. Provided BTCA model presentations to various churches.
  4. Spread the Word of God and led lost souls to His flock.

April 2024: Tuisoch, Huehuetenango, Guatemala Trip

  • What an exciting mission trip, glorifying our Lord
  • During the trip, I brought my two granddaughters, Gloria Ofelia Jaramillo (17) and Judiana Jossete Jaramillo (14). They were superb Missionaries In Training (MITs) and learned a great deal about serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We were capable of setting up a Starlink internet connection for the residents
  • We conducted the following classes
    • English 101
    • English 102
    • Spanish 101
    • Spanish 102
    • Bible studies
  • We conducted two vegetable canning sessions with the following results:
  • NOTE: Because we lack cooling facilities, vegetables must be consumed promptly after purchase to prevent spoilage. Visits to the market occur once every two weeks, leaving residents without access to fresh vegetables in between. Canning these vegetables provides necessary nutrition during these periods.
    • Tuisoch: 180 jars of green beans, tomatoes, salsa, and cucumbers
    • Huehuetenango: 80 jars of tomatoes, peppers, salsa, and cucumbers
  • We conducted a clinic for the residents and the surrounding area. We checked and documented the following:
    • Glucose check
    • Blood pressure check
    • During our next mission trip, we will add optical and dental checkups.
  • We hosted movie nights with the residents on Sundays. We utilized the projector and screen we had installed during our last trip. We provided snacks, and Pastor Carrillo summarized the Christian movies we watched together.
  • We had game nights with the Carrillo family – Lotería!
  • On our way through Mexico, we provided supplies to the poor souls walking to the USA. We provided the following items:
    • Over 40 gallons of drinking water
    • Various snacks
    • A case of my favorite Diet Coke
    • On our way through Mexico in September, we will provide our fellow brothers with 120 blessing bags. The bags contain Gatorade, wipes, women’s sanitary pads, Band-Aids, snacks, and canned food.
  • Our trip had a few minor issues. The following are some of the inconveniences we encountered during our trip:
    • We got lost several times. The roads are not well marked, and we missed a few turns.
    • We had flats on the trailer and our car.
    • We ran out of gas. Gas stations are sparse, and I did not calculate mileage well between refueling points.
    • Judiana became ill and was hospitalized for three days. She recovered well and was ready to travel back to the USA in good health.
    • Because of Judiana’s illness, we had to extend our trip by one week. This allowed us to accomplish all the mission objectives.
  • We give all the glory to God. He accomplished all these wonderful things with the help of an old man and two young ladies. Praise God!
