When it comes to church planting and local church multiplication and reproduction, one of the most fruitful fields that I know of in terms of recent missions history is found across our southern border in the country of Mexico. Because of its proximity to the US - basically representing our continental Samaria - a lot of laborers and resources have been poured into this field and many Mexican missionaries have engaged in this great work in cooperation with American missionaries and churches. While some of that interaction and cooperation has been limited in recent years owing to the violence associated with the drug cartels, the work of church-planting has continued. For years I’ve heard of the labors of missionary Sonny Fritz. Bro. Fritz went home to be with the Lord a few years back, but I was in a missions conference recently with his son-in-law and fellow-laborer Rubin Murillo. I was told that if I wanted to meet a church-planter I should get to know Bro. Murillo. Bro. Murillo agreed to sit down with me and talk a little bit about his 45 years of church-planting mission work in the country of Mexico, including the methods they’ve undertaken over the years to multiply local churches in an amazing way.
