My First Mission Trip to Mexico

Randy took his second team to Mexico in August 1998. They went to help Doug Millar in his work in Playa Del Carmen. My mom, Yvonne Stockman, who is the director of Children's Ministry with I Am Able Ministries (and my Mom), presented the gospel to the children. Many children accepted Christ. The Wordless Book was used to share the gospel, as were other materials. Bracelets and tracts using the wordless book colors were used to share the gospel. The message was recorded in Spanish on a cassette tape. We could not speak the language but God worked it out so that the Gospel message was heard even though there were no interpreters. Once the workers there heard the message, they could present it in their own words effectively.
You can see what the Wordless Book and Bracelet is all about by going to Child Evangelism Fellowship's web site. The gospel message of the 'Wordless Book' and bracelets have become effective witnessing tools. This methods crosses language barriers and makes the gospel easy to understand.
