May 16, 2012 Message from Pastor Gustavo Perales:
"By the Grace of God, during the first week of May 2012, Primera Iglesia bautista Fundamental Del
Cercado started its music faculty as part of the ministry. For the first time, the chuch has begun to
promote the culture of music amongst our people with a firm purpose to teach our children, young
people and adults how to use instruments that they can use in the Church for the honor and glory to
God."

On January 31, 2012 John and Wanda Casias, who have lived in Mexico as missionaries since 1983,
went to be with the Lord. They were victims of a home invasion crime that took both their
lives just outside of Monterrey NL, Mexico. John and Wanda's youngest son,
Shawn Casias found his parents when visiting them to pick up a trailer.
Crosspointe Baptist Church out of
Poway, California has adopted the ministry of John and Wanda Casias and we are excited about its continued
future growth from the foundation established by John and Wanda Casias through Jesus Christ. Johnny Casias, who is the oldest
son of John and Wanda, has been a member of Crosspointe Baptist Church since 2008.
We praise the Lord for the 30 years of
faithful service and blessed missionary accomplishments made by John and Wanda Casias in Mexico, but the work is not done!
Prayfully, we believe this ministry deserves to continue growing with ongoing attention, love and efforts in reaching the lost
and providing nurture to the established churches. Since the recent deaths of John and Wanda, the Casias family will continue
to help Crosspointe Baptist Church by providing local know-how and infrastructure. We have made progress by bringing in a pastor
and helping grow the church attendance. We ask you to keep the ministry and the Casias family in your prayers as we take on this great work.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose"~~ROMANS 8:28

The Casias Family would like to thank you for your support in the form of prayers and contributions to the John and Wanda Casias ministry during the past 29 years.
We are happy to report that Crosspointe Baptist Church with the help of the Casias family will be continuing the ministry. Unfortunately, starting from the time of our parents death, the ministry has not received any monetary support for costs associated with the continuing of the ministry or the death of our parents and has dealt with challenges on both sides of the border.
Sadly, we have detected websites and Facebook pages that claim they contribute to our parents ministry. We ask that you reconsider any contributions made since Febuary 1st, 2012 or any contributions you consider making and the venue through which you intend on making them.
Without a doubt we want to see the ministry continue and reach the next generations. Please continue to pray with us as we by faith plan and work to reach The Republic of Mexico. Feel free to contact Pastor Todd Shields of Crosspointe Baptist Church with any questions. God bless you.
