God is working in Chiapas, Mexico

! " Dear Pastor and Friends," My name is Tom Sloan Jr. # I am a 3rd generation Independent Baptist missionary to Mexico." My grandfather, Dr. L.H. Ashcraft, was a missionary in Monterrey, Mexico for 30#" years. # My Father, Tom Sloan M.D., was a medical missionary to Chiapas, Mexico for" 34 years. #And my wife, Mona, and I got started in missions 20 years ago. We are" church planting missionaries but God has given us a new and exciting way to#" evangelize the lost souls of Mexico and Guatemala thru the radio ministry. "

The Vision For Compassion Radio!

The vision has been present since the early 1970s when Missionary Tom Sloan M.D. started praying specically for a radio ministry. God does not give a vision for naught, and we know that visions are transferable from one generation to another. God gives His laborers a vision and then answers the prayers for those ministry visions. At times it seems that God gives a vision and the present generation prays for that vision. Then He sends another generation to which He transfers that same vision and uses them to answer the prayers and ministry vision

of the previous generation. Just as King David prepared everything for the construction of the temple so that his son Solomon could carry out the great task of building the temple, Dr. Tom Sloan has left behind a great provision for the carrying on of his dream to reach the masses with the Gospel. "

Faith today is turned into vision tomorrow.

The Potential Of Compassion Radio!

For many years it was impossible to have a Christian Radio Station in Mexico, but God has opened the doors for one in Chiapas, Mexico. We are currently reaching 5 million folks in the Spanish language with a radio station in San Cristobal De Las Casas and another 500,000 who speak the Mayan languages of Tzotzil, Tzeltal and Tojolabal in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. God has given us adequate legal paperwork to be able to preach the Gospel on Compassion Radio. The uniqueness of this radio ministry is the fact that hundreds of thousands of Mexican and Guatemalan people listen to the radio every day. !

You can walk six hours from the nearest blacktop road into villages in Chiapas where there is no running water or electricity, but everybody has a battery-powered radio. This ministry gives us an opportunity to reach people who have been steeped in un-biblical traditions for hundreds of years. To this day, many of them still worship their ancestors, the moon and sun. Others trust their witch doctors. We are reaching many of these people with the Gospel thru the ministry of Compassion Radio.! So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Rm.10:17!

In the 60s, when my grandfather, Dr. L.H. Ashcraft, was beginning his ministry in Mexico, the Lord gave him the vision to start a Bible Institute. He found property just outside the city of Monterrey that he thought would be perfect for such a ministry, but he did not have the funds to buy the property. He took a pastor from Decatur, TX down to Monterrey, and drove him out to the property. That pastor gives the following testimony: That had to have been the ugliest piece of land I had ever seen; yet Bro. Ashcrafts enthusiasm was evident in his voice as he pointed here and there and said, Now Ill build the dorms here; and over here will be the dining hall; Ill build the chapel over here. Then he looked at me and said, Pastor, will you help me buy this property? I honestly didnt have the faith then to believe what this man could see through faiths eye. But I thought, If I dont help him, and he fails, I dont want him coming back to me and pointing his finger in my face and saying, I failed because you didnt help me. And if I dont help him, and he succeeds, I will miss being a part of the blessing. So I said, Bro. Ashcraft, Ill help you. Today, the ministry that began on that ugly property is Mount Hebron Baptist Ministries and has produced hundreds of preachers and missionaries and full-time workers that are making an impact, taking the Gospel to Mexico, and to many other parts of the world.! " I am presenting the vision that God has given us concerning the ministry of Compassion Radio Network. We can only imagine what God has for the future of Compassion Radio through the eyes of faith. ! But unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto HIM be glory.

We have only had this radio ministry for a little over a year, but have already seen 1 new church established in Berriozabal, Chiapas as a direct result of the ministry of Compassion Radio.# Nelson and his wife Maria placed their faith in Christ as they listened to me preach on Compassion Radio February 25, 2012. " A few months later, we were able to establish Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Berriozabal upon the invitation and request of Nelson. Since then, we have seen others come to faith in Christ in Berriozabal through the ministry of Mount Calvary Baptist Church. "

My desire, vision, dream and goal is to set up a network of towers in Mexico and Guatemala so that we can reach more people, more clearly with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "
Tom and Pastor Sebastian in the mountains Of Chiapas, Mxico where thousands of Mayan Indians live who are easily accessible by way of radio.

There are thousands of Indians in the mountains of Chiapas, living in villages so remote that a vehicle cannot reach them. However, nearly every village has at least one radio, where the Gospel could reach them through the radio waves. What an opportunity!! Hear the cry of their souls! How many would place their faith in Christ if the Gospel came to them over the radio?! The majority of them are not shaking their sts in Gods face; theyve just never heard the Gospel. Just as the disciples beckoned to the other boat to help them get the sh in the boat, I am asking that you help us to bring the harvest in. Would you be willing for the Lord to use you as a partner in the ministry of Compassion Radio? I am simply one
