Good News Proclaimed in the Silent Circle

The Silent Circle is a portion of Central Mexico so called by Evangelical Christian missionaries because it is one of the most unreached places in the Americas in terms of the gospel of Jesus Christ. At the end of October, Good News Baptist Church, on Georges Creek Road, sent off their very first international mission team to the Mexican state of Jalisco. This small team was composed of Pastor Eric Fannin, his wife, Sarah Fannin, and a newly elected deacon of the church, Kevin Young. Pastor Eric went on a vision trip last year to central Mexico to discern where to begin work and with whom to partner.

Good News Baptist church is partnering with missionaries to Mexico from an international missionary organization along with a Mexican family who is working year-round in Jalisco to share the gospel and establish a Baptist Church.

On their first international mission trip, Good News Baptist Church joined with a small team from Cross Lanes Baptist Church, of Cross Lanes, WV and a Spanish speaking church plant in Indianapolis, IN. During this trip, the team assisted the Mexican church planting family in putting on a conference at a local hospital for doctors and nurses on Having Compassion, visited the sick in that hospital, hosted baseball and soccer tournaments for local children and teenagers, shared the gospel during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration, and assisted another local church planting family in a nearby town. The team was able to tell many people about how Jesus died and rose from the grave to save the world. Four people made a decision to place their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation!

Good News Baptist Church considers this trip a step in the right direction on their mission to “Love God by Making Disciples.” They hope to continue working in Jalisco, Mexico by sponsoring the Mexican family and their three children for Christmas as well as planning for another trip in 2015.
