The last day of the mission trip to Mexico was as focused as the first day – on evangelism. Nick Walburn and a small group of pastors made a stop at a local souvenir shop and, as they had been doing through the week, struck up a conversation with the shop owner and shared the gospel.

“She accepted Christ right there,” Nick said. Zoro Baena, a Hispanic pastor who led the trip, asked the shop owner if she had a Bible. When she said no, he gave her his own. When the group passed by her shop an hour later, they saw she was reading the Bible.

“Not only was she saved, but she began doing the things that a disciple does,” he said.

The encounter in the shop was one more way God answered Nick’s prayer before the trip: “God, work powerfully among the local people of the region.”
