The Granger's

 

Hello, we are the Granger family. We are sent out of Solid Rock Baptist Church pastored by Aaron Hargis. God has called us to serve in our local church in Indiana as well as distribute God’s Word all over Mexico. God has allowed us to plant one church in the city of Zacatecas and another in the city of Guadalajara. Now we have been able to start a Bible distribution center and work with local pastors to get the His Word into the hands of thousands of Mexican people. We are blessed to be called by God and sent out by our local church. We are excited to see what God will do through us!

About Mexico


About Mexico

Mexico is a beautiful country with high rugged mountains, low coastal Plains, high plateaus, and vast deserts. It is located in North America between Guatemala in the US there are over 1 million people that live in Mexico. The primary language is Spanish with various dialects. The Mexican people are typically warm and hospitable people.

Mexico is rich in culture, dating back to Aztec Indians. They gain their independence from Spain on September 16, 1810. The Catholic way of life was introduced to them by Spain. The Catholics have a stronghold in Mexico still today.

Mexicans are open to and are looking for the truth. The government allows much freedom to spread the gospel. Every time trip we have made we have seen many people saved and hundreds of tracks and it out. Many false religions such as Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are taking advantage of this wide harvest.

There is an urgent need for much work to be done while the door is still open. What a shame for us not to reach millions of lost souls, many of whom are literally begging for someone to come and preach the true gospel.

Other subjects worth noting:

GOD

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This one true God is infinitely perfect in both His love and holiness. He is the immortal and eternal Creator of all things, both visible and invisible. He sovereignly rules over all things, and is providentially at work redeeming and restoring His fallen creation. He is worthy to receive all glory and adoration.

Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 6:3; Matthew 5:48; 28:19; John 10:30; Colossians 1:16; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 John 4:8; Revelation 4:11

SCRIPTURE

God has graciously revealed His existence and power in created order, and in the Person of His Son, the incarnate Word. God is a speaking God who, by His Spirit, has graciously disclosed Himself in human words through Scripture, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, which are both a record and means of His saving work in the world. These writings alone are the verbally inspired Word of God, which is authoritative and without error in the original writings, complete in its revelation of His will for salvation, sufficient for all that God requires us to believe, and final in its authority over every domain of knowledge to which it speaks. In summary, all of Scripture is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God.

Psalm 19:1-4; Proverbs 30:6; John 1:14; Romans 1:19,20; Hebrews 1:1,2; 2 Timothy 3:15, 16; 2 Peter 1:19–21

MANKIND

We believe God created human beings, male and female, in His own image. Adam and Eve belonged to the created order that God declared to be “very good.” Both male and female were created equal in worth and value, and have equal access to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Because we were created in His image, we believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end and that we must honor the physical, social, and spiritual needs of all people. Following Christ’s example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity, and respect.

Genesis 1:27,31; 9:6; Exodus 20:13; Mark 12:30, 31; Galatians 3:28

THE FALL

We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God. We believe that Adam, made in the image of God, distorted that image and forfeited his original blessedness—for himself and for all who came after him—by falling into sin through Satan’s temptation. Now, all human beings are alienated from God, corrupted in every aspect of their being (physically, mentally, volitionally, emotionally, spiritually) and condemned finally and irrevocably to death—apart from God’s own gracious intervention. The supreme need of all human beings is to be reconciled to the God under whose just and holy wrath we stand; the only hope of all human beings is the undeserved love of this same God, who alone can rescue us and restore us to Himself through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Genesis 3:6–19; Romans 1:18; 3:23; 5:12–14; 1 Thessalonians 1:10

JESUS

We believe that the eternal Son became human: the Word became flesh, fully God and fully human being, one Person in two natures. The man Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel, was conceived through the Holy Spirit, and was born of the virgin Mary. He perfectly obeyed His heavenly Father, lived a sinless life, performed miraculous signs, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead on the third day, and ascended into Heaven. He is seated at the right hand of God and is our High Priest and righteous Advocate.

We believe that by His incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus Christ acted as our representative and substitute. He did this so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God: on the cross He canceled sin, propitiated God, and, by bearing the full penalty of our sins, reconciled to God all those who believe. By His resurrection Christ Jesus was vindicated by His Father, broke the power of death and defeated Satan who once had power over it, and brought everlasting life to all His people; by His ascension He has been forever exalted as Lord and has prepared a place for us to be with Him. We believe that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under Heaven by which we must be saved. Because God chose the lowly things of this world, the despised things, the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, no human being can ever boast before Him—Christ Jesus has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. 

John 1:1,2,13; 14:2; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 1:27–30; 15:3-5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Colossians 1:19-22; 2:19; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Timothy 2:5

JUSTIFICATION

We believe that Christ, by His obedience and death, fully discharged the debt of all those who are justified. By His sacrifice, He bore in our stead the punishment due us for our sins, making a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice on our behalf. By His perfect obedience He satisfied the just demands of God on our behalf, since by faith alone that perfect obedience is credited to all who trust in Christ alone for their acceptance with God. Since Christ was given by the Father for us, and His obedience and punishment were accepted in place of our own, freely and not for anything in us, this justification is solely of free grace, in order that both the exact justice and the rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners. We believe that a zeal for personal and public obedience flows from this free justification.

Romans 3:21, 22, 24, 26, 28–30; 4:3, 5; 5:1, 9; 10:9, 10; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8, 9; Philippians 3:9

THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that salvation, attested in all Scripture and secured by Jesus Christ, is applied to His people by the Holy Spirit. Sent by the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ, and is present with and in believers. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and by His powerful and mysterious work regenerates spiritually dead sinners. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. In Him they are baptized into union with the Lord Jesus, such that they are justified before God by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

By the Spirit’s agency, believers are renewed, sanctified, and adopted into God’s family. The Holy Spirit is Himself the down payment of the promised inheritance, and in this age indwells, guides, instructs, equips, revives, and empowers believers for Christlike living and service.

Matthew 9:13; John 1:12, 13; 3:3–7; 5:21; 7:37–39; 16:7-14; Romans 6:13; Ephesians 1:13, 14; 2:5; Titus 3:5

THE CHURCH AND ITS GREAT COMMISSION

We believe that God’s new covenant people have been saved into the Church, His bride. This universal Church is manifest in local churches of which Christ is the only Head; thus each “local church” is, in fact, the Church, the household of God, the assembly of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth. The Church is the body of Christ, the apple of His eye, graven on His hands, and He has pledged Himself to her forever. The Church is distinguished by her gospel message, her sacred ordinances, her discipline, her great mission, and, above all, by her love for God, and by her members’ love for one another and for the world. This gospel we cherish has both personal and corporate dimensions, neither of which may properly be overlooked. Christ Jesus is our peace: He has not only brought about peace with God, but also peace between alienated peoples. His purpose was to create in Himself one new humanity, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile all people to God through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility. The Church serves as a sign of God’s kingdom when its members live for the service of one another and their neighbors, rather than for self-focus. The Church is the corporate dwelling place of God’s Spirit, and the continuing witness to God in the world. We believe it is the mandate of the whole church to go into the world and preach the gospel to every person.

Matthew 28:20; Mark 16:15; John 13:35; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 21:2,9,10

THE RESURRECTION

We believe in the personal, glorious, and bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ when He will exercise His role as final Judge, and His kingdom will be consummated. We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust—the unjust to judgment and eternal conscious punishment in Hell, as our Lord Himself taught, and the just to eternal blessedness in the presence of Him who sits on the throne and of the Lamb, in the new Heaven and the new Earth, the home of righteousness. On that day, the Church will be presented faultless before God by the obedience, suffering, and triumph of Christ, all sin purged and its wretched effects forever banished. God will be all in all and His people will be in the presence of His holiness, and everything will be to the praise of His glorious grace.

Matthew 16:27; 25:31-34; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Corinthians 15: 51–53; Ephesians 3:20, 21; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Revelation 1:7

SOTERIOLOGY

We hold to a provisionalist view (or a traditionalist view) in our doctrine of soteriology. What follows is what we mean by a provisionalist view.

P- People sin which separates us from fellowship with God. (Rom. 3:23; 6:23)

R- Responsible (able-to-respond) to God’s appeals for reconciliation. (2 Cor. 5:19-20; Jn. 5:40; 12:48; 20:31; Matt. 23:37)

O- Open door for anyone to enter by faith. Whosoever will may come to his open arms. (Eph. 1:13; Rom. 10:21; 1 Peter 3:9; 1 Tim. 2:4; Jn. 3:16; Matt. 11:28)

V- Vicarious Atonement provides a way for anyone to be saved by Christ’s blood. (Rom. 4:5; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18)

I- Illuminating Grace provides clearly revealed truth so that all can know and respond in faith. (Titus 2:11; Rom. 1:16-2:16; 11:32; 2 Cor. 4-3-6; Jn. 12:32)

D- Destroyed for unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit. (2 Tess.2:10; Jn. 3:18; Acts 7:51; Rom. 4:5)

E- Eternal security for all true believers. (Rom. 8:38-39; Eph. 1:13-14; Jn. 20:31

At the age of seven I repented of my sins and trusted Christ to save my soul. At the age of 13 while at a conference with my father, I surrender to preach. When I was 18 in preparation for a missions conference, with much prayer and counseling, I surrender to be a missionary.

I studied Bible graduated from Cherith Bible Institute. We are also assisted by All Points Baptist Missions, a ministry of Calvary Baptist Church in New Philadelphia, Ohio and my home church is Greenwood Bible Baptist Church in Greenwood, Indiana pastored by Todd Poynter. I agree with the standards and doctrines they teach.

As a missionary's kid and as an intern during Bible college God has blessed me with hands-on training I can use in Mexico. In areas such as door-to-door soul winning, youth group, Jr.Church, bus ministry, and many other areas.

I am excited about serving the Lord. My goal is to win souls and See his word change lives!

When I was a young child my parents went to a Catholic church. My father was a strong Catholic and my mother was also raised Catholic and was saved shortly after she married my father. As a young child, we would go to the Catholic church faithfully while my mother would do her best to teach us kids about salvation.

When I was eight my family relocated to a different town and my father started looking for a new Catholic Church. However, God had different plans for us. While there my mom started praying that we would attend a little Baptist Church. Even though it seemed like an impossible thing.

However, through prayer and the power of God, my father was graciously saved and we became members of the little Baptist Church. That same year on a Sunday after Dad did devotions I talked to my mom and she led me to Christ and I accepted him as my savior.

Then when I was 15, after battling with the Lord, during our church's annual missions conference I surrendered to missions. I told the Lord I would go wherever he wanted me to go.
