They met Eduardo at the Bible Institute of Central America (BICA) and have worked together in the mission field for the last few years since graduation.

Orestes and his family are on a mission team with Lester Flores. Orestes and Lester have been presenting seminars, Bible studies, outdoor worship and Zoom classes since their work in Niquinohomo began a few months ago. They have already brought many souls to Christ including a family of 5 members baptized recently.

Lester is on the mission team in Niquinohomo that includes Orestes Hernandez and his family. Lester and Orestes have this to say about the work in Nicaragua: “It is impressive how we have had to adapt to social networks, how this has become something normal, so every day to be close to people, to be able to use this tool for the Church, and that is what the faith community in Niquinohomo has taken advantage of, thinking that years ago this type of service was not possible. On the other hand, we recognize that it is best to be together, that this will never be replaced, but for the common good we must adapt. God is at work in Niquinohomo, and Edmond is part of this blessing.”

Edmond’s involvement with the work in French-speaking Quebec began in 1984 when the church started supporting Mike Mazzalongo. He converted Roger and Diane Saumur and mentored them. After the departure of the Mazzalongo family in 1987, Saumur became Edmond’s minister for the Verdun congregation in Montreal. Since that time, the Canadians and Edmond’s members have developed and maintained a close association. The Saumurs make annual summer trips to Oklahoma for mutual edification and several Edmond members have journeyed north to worship with the Christians in Verdun. Despite a devastating fire, the transient nature of a cosmopolitan city, and the difficulties inherent to a strongly secular society, progress has been made and the church is standing firm.  

Humberto and Irene have a longstanding relationship with the Edmond congregation. For over 20 years, Humberto helped guide our annual mission trip to the mountains of Mexico. He and his wife Irene, now serve with the Owassa Church of Christ in Alamo, TX, where he has recently celebrated over 50 years as a minister of the gospel.
