Couple presents program on Mexico missionary work

Dave McMullen and his wife Ella have a special interest in the migrant workers of Mexico.
Those workers, native indians, speak Spanish only as a second language, a difficulty that leaves them out of the many things including the gospel, which is why by discovering and using global recordings, the McMullens travel to Mexico and reach out to the people there with the gospel.
“They go to Mexico and minister to the migrant farm workers,” said Pastor Tim Novak, who invited the couple to Echo to present their program after he was contacted by McMullen.
The couple were visiting family in the area, when McMullen thought it might be a good idea to present their findings.
“I contacted some churches about what we’re doing with migrant workers and said this might be a way for them to reach out to their own,” McMullen said.
The McMullens presentation is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday in the Echo Community United Methodist Church, 21 N. Bonanza St.
McMullen said he and his wife, who received their education in the gospel from Briercrest Bible College in Canada, discovered and use “Gospel Recordings,” or “Global Recordings” to find the right language to help the indian tribes of Mexico understand the Bible.
“It has the gospel in 6,000 different languages for people who may not speak the language of the bible,” McMullen said.
McMullen said the native in?Mexico speak over 300 individual languages, languages he and his wife record and duplicate onto CDs using the “Global Recordings” program.
McMullen said the “Global Recordings” program is available to everyone and has many benefits.
“My biggest interest is getting people involved in sharing the gospel with these people who may never have heard it,” he said.
