Texans give aid in Chiapas
___Oak View Baptist Church in Grand Prairie is working with Southern Baptist missionaries in Chiapas, Mexico, to train and send out Mexican church starters. The Texas church regularly sends Sergio Matassa (center above) to Chiapas to encourage students in the Gary Lynn Sloan Church Planting Institute, named for a native Texas missionary who drowned off the coast of Mexico last year. Above, Matassa and International Mission Board missionary Thurman Penick greet a lay pastor in Chiapas. At right, Matassa prays with Mexican Christian leaders and their families.
