Becky Patterson and the Bethesda Homes : September 2025 Newsletter

Mrs. Becky Patterson – Missionary to Mexico
Bethesda Children’s Homes – Tlapa, Mexico

Dear Pastor and friends,

The sparkle in his eye and joy on Joel’s face thrilled my soul as we reviewed the story of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ from the story he had just read. God has blessed us with twenty-two new boys and nine new girls at the Bethesda Children’s Home. So far none of the new children have prayed to receive the Lord as their Savior, but they are listening and God is working in their hearts.

On the day the children were being registered, sixteen of the parents prayed to receive the Lord. It took several hours to get all the children registered, so there was plenty of time to talk. We had been praying for the salvation of the children’s parents. Our prayer is that many more will be saved during the school year.

Recently we have been blessed by a new lady staff member named Nayeli. Susana, who had worked at Bethesda for several years, has also rejoined our staff. We are so thankful for the dedication of all the faithful workers.

During the past couple of weeks, I have visited the homes of two of the ladies from the church here in Tlapa. One lady is receiving dialysis. She and her husband have been members of the church for more than fifty years. Another lady’s fourteen year old daughter passed away a few months ago with cancer. She is devastated! It was so good to share Scripture and pray with both of them. “Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” II Corinthians 1:3,4. Our Lord makes no mistakes!

On Monday, we start our after school classes. Most of there will be Bible and discipleship classes. I will be teaching three afternoons a week. Please pray for the salvation of all the children and their growth in the Lord. We are a team! Thank you for your part in supporting and pray for us God Bless you!

For the love of Christ,
Becky Patterson
