Miguel Tzuc met “mi linda y amada esposa” (My dear and loving wife) in Halacho, Yucatan. He fell in love and married in Cacao, Yucatan. He received his first calling to spread God’s word deciding to leave his parents and relocate his family to Reynosa, Tamaulipas in order to attend the Mexican Baptist Institute in McAllen, TX. He graduated Class of 1976-1977. He continued his studies and training to become a teacher and began teaching classes such as Evangelismo Personal and El Camino Bautista until 2003. He became Co-Pastor at First Missionary Baptist Church in McAllen, Texas until 1988, when he got a second calling to begin a new mission. Mision Bautista Getsemani began holding worship services from home to home. Groundbreaking started in November 1991 for the construction of the building. Construction was completed after several years of hard labor with the completion of the parking lot and addition. In June 17, 2001, Mision Bautista Getsemani was organized into Iglesia Bautista Getsemani. He served as pastor of Iglesia Bautista Getsemani from the very beginning until December 2018 when he resigned due to his health. However, he continued to serve the Lord till the last day when he became ill and was hospitalized. On Saturday, July 27, 2019 the Lord called his good and faithful servant into the joy of our Lord. He was a devoted pastor, a wonderful husband, a loving father, a caring father-in-law, an affectionate grandfather, and like their great granddaughters would call him a great “papa”.
