Greetings from Chiapas, Mexico!

What a wonderful season of growth and new beginnings! We are so grateful for all the Lord is doing here in Mexico. Every week, we are seeing lives transformed, hearts strengthened in God's Word, and believers discovering who they are in Christ and how they can share His love with others.

We are excited to share some of what has been happening!

Raíces Bible School — Growing and Expanding!

We have officially started a new season of Raíces Bible School!

Our Saturday classes in Cintalapa are underway again, and we are excited to have expanded into the city of Arriaga, where we now meet every Wednesday evening.

Together, more than 120 students are growing in God's Word!

It is such a blessing to see men and women hungry for the truth, allowing God's Word to renew their minds and establish their identity in Christ.

Our heart is to see these students become firmly rooted in God's love and truth, equipped to go out and sow those same seeds into the lives of others.

And be not conformed to this w

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." — Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

Discipleship — Lives Being Transformed!

Our discipleship groups in Cintalapa continue to grow, with approximately 20 people participating.

One of the greatest joys has been seeing six or more people take the step of water baptism, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus!

These gatherings are opportunities to build relationships, grow in the knowledge of God's goodness, and encourage one another to walk in the freedom and truth found in Christ.

We love watching the Word take root in people's hearts and produce lasting fruit!

The Sower — Phase 3: Growing into Their Calling!

We have begun Phase 3 at The Sower International Ministry Training Center, and this season is especially focused on leadership, practical ministry, and serving others.

Our students are stepping into greater responsibility as they lead, teach, serve, and grow in confidence in the calling God has placed on their lives.

Each week, they are putting what they have learned into practice, ministering to children at El Faro de Esperanza and serving through children's ministry at El Rebaño del Señor church, Discipleship, and all the opportunities at La Base.

And there is more ahead!

Our students are now preparing for their first missionary trip to Monterrey, Mexico!

We are excited for this for them to step beyond the classroom, serve others, and experience firsthand what it means to take the Gospel wherever God leads.

Please keep them in your prayers as they prepare for this next adventure of faith!

A Little Family Update

September also brought a new Home school year for our boys!

Tomas started 6th grade, and Andres began 8th grade!

We are grateful for the opportunity to raise our family here in Mexico while serving the Lord together. Life on the mission field is full of learning, growing, and new adventures, and we are thankful for God's faithfulness in every season.

We appreciate your prayers for our boys as they continue growing in wisdom, friendships, and their own personal relationships with the Lord.

Thank You for Sowing With Us!

As we look at everything happening through Raíces, The Sower, discipleship, and our family, we are reminded of a beautiful truth:

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase." — 1 Corinthians 3:6 (NKJV)

We sow, we water, and God brings the growth!

To every person who prays for us, encourages us, and financially partners with Burillo Ministries, thank you!

Your investment in God's Kingdom is touching real lives here in Mexico. Every student growing in the Word, every person discovering their identity in Christ, every baptism, and every future missionary being equipped is part of the fruit of the seeds we are sowing together.

Some seeds grow quickly, while others take time, but we can trust the Lord to bring forth fruit in His perfect timing.

We are honored to be your hands and feet here in person.

Mexico, and we are so thankful that we get to be part of what God is doing together with you.

With love and gratitude,
