Welcome Back – and Thanks for Praying!
The Fry family – in this case, Rod, Mayra, and son David – returned to Ixtapaluca full of excitement and energy on the evening of the 21st of January!
Ok, well – maybe the excitement and energy came later. After many hours of driving, we should probably say that they arrived “alive” and leave it at that. 😜
But, in spite of many hours of travel, and some van issues back in the USA (not to mention the threat of gas shortages here in Mexico!), they returned safely. And so – thanks to those of you who prayed for them!
We’re thankful to have the Frys back here on the team, and already they appear to running way ahead of us as they pursue God’s work here in Ixtapaluca.
The other day I was sorting through some old papers, reviving memories of some past ministry, such as the initial stages of church planting in the community of Jesús MarÃa. I was reminded of the incredible amount of work that Rod and Mayra have put into the Lord’s work in Mexico City.
Perhaps most of the things that missionaries do are not seen by most people. And that makes it all the more amazing – the things that the Frys have done, that we know about – well, we’re so thankful! And God knows the many things they have done, prayers they have prayed, tears they have shed – that few people, if any, see.
And before they get too annoyed with me for writing this post, I’ll just leave it at this – we’re thankful for many years of working with the Fry Family – Rod, Mayra, Daniel, Cathy and David – and we pray that God will continue to use them as He has in the past.

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing family! (You are also an amazing family, each in your own way, as God designed you!)
I’m thankful that they are back in Ixtapaluca to minister along with you.
