Mexico City UBF
December 24, 2013

On December 15, 2013 we celebrated a joyful united Christmas worship service in Mexico City. We praise our Lord for working powerfully to bring all our guests. Our prayer topic was to have 500 attendants but our Lord marvelously sent a total of 562 all together including Cuautitlán UBF (15), IPN UBF (14), Morelia UBF (9), Santo Tomás UBF (8), and Querétaro UBF (6). We feel so thankful and amazed to see how much God wants this world to be saved by receiving Baby Jesus in a manger.

The first part of the program was aimed at preparing the environment through prayer, sing-along worship and a special performance by the CU chorus team singing Bach's "Hallelujah". The message was delivered by Shepherd Raúl Muños with the title “A Savior Has Been Born” (Luke 2:1-20). The main focus of the message was to show that God so loved the world that He sacrificed His one and only Son Jesus Christ to be born in a manger to later die on the cross to save the world. The sacrifice and humility of little Baby Jesus melted our hearts and made us realize how pure and deep His love is to us. Nowadays, we hear only bad news everywhere, but the Good News of salvation made us feel joy and hope living in this corrupted and hopeless world. Jesus, our Savior, was born; that is the best of all best news we can hear. To conclude the first part of the program Shps. Mónica from Morelia UBF delighted us with her beautiful voice, as she sang, "Oh, Holy Night."

Being filled with such a great joy for having the good news of the gospel, we celebrated the birth of Jesus with special programs from the united Mexico City orchestra playing "Christmas Carol", a colorful dance performance by the sisters of CU, and a meaningful and fun drama performed by CU team with the same title and content of the message that emphasized the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior to the lost world.

Glory to God in the highest! He sent us a Savior to bring back the hearts of the Mexican young people to God. May the Lord continually bless the wonderful work of salvation in our beloved Mexico.

A Savior Has Been Born!!

Merry Christmas!
