After 12 years of sharing the gospel, missionaries witness two women publicly declare their faith in Jesus

After more than a decade of missionary work in southern Mexico, a Christian family witnessed a moment they had been hoping and praying for.

Missionaries Clay and Tammy Richardson began working among the Zoque people in 2013.

For years, they shared Scripture, built relationships, and taught people about Jesus, often wondering whether their efforts would produce visible results.
Their perseverance eventually led to a remarkable moment.

A young woman named Leana decided to be baptized in a river.

But as the baptism was taking place, another young woman named Nancy unexpectedly announced that she also wanted to be baptized.

The missionaries were overcome with emotion.
After approximately 12 years of ministry, they witnessed two women publicly profess their faith in Christ.

Their story illustrates the patience and dedication involved in Christian missionary work.

• Galatians 6:9

‘Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Sometimes the results of sharing the Gospel take years to become visible, but perseverance can have a lasting impact.
