Resources & Updates

The Mission South Task Force of First Presbyterian Church (FPC) is deeply grateful to collaborate with seminaries, ministries, and churches across Mexico and along the border. Our focus is on advancing the gospel and equipping and empowering emerging leaders. One of our cherished partners in this endeavor is Genesis Presbyterian Church in Mercedes, TX, led by Pastor Hector Reynoso.

Overcoming Challenges in the Rio Grande Valley

The Rio Grande Valley has faced significant challenges in recent times, including the impacts of COVID-19 and devastating hurricanes. Despite these obstacles, Pastor Héctor Reynoso has steadfastly continued to share God's word through weekly online sermons. He has also encouraged families within the community to engage in meaningful conversations and support one another through prayer.

Genesis Presbyterian Church stands as a beacon of hope in this region. It is a vibrant, multigenerational, multicultural, and bilingual Hispanic church with dedicated focuses on discipleship and evangelism, ministry to the elderly, outreach to younger generations, and hosting mission and activity groups.

A New Beginning

In a remarkable step forward, Genesis Presbyterian Church is poised to break ground on their new church building this November. This milestone is made possible by the generous support of FPC, and we are thrilled to see the congregation grow and thrive in their new space.

Prayer Requests

We invite you to join us in prayer for several key aspects of this partnership and community:

- Pray for the Rio Grande Valley, particularly for those suffering from poor health and those vulnerable to the virus due to an economy not easily adaptable to remote work.

- Pray for Pastor Hector Reynoso and his ministry, as they continue to navigate and uplift their community through faith and prayer.

We are incredibly grateful to God for allowing us to walk alongside Genesis Presbyterian Church as friends and ministry partners. Together, we trust in His provision and guidance to bring hope and transformation to the Rio Grande Valley.
