Viva la fe!

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.                                       -Hebrews 11:6


Actually, Xaume chose the color of this wall.  It's called Mexican Pink.
Besides putting some finishing touches on our apartment, we've had a month of adventures in faith.  
He's a natural chef. I'm so thankful.

September 15th is Mexico's Independence Day.  Appropriately, this month we have had the privilege of visiting three other Mexican states.

#1- Guanajuato, Guanajuato (5 hours away)

A special visitor from the States came to stay with us for a week.  Since she had spent time studying in Guanajuato, she asked if we would accompany her for a weekend trip.  Xaume and I were both surprised by the colonial beauty of this hilly, youth-filled city.

Colors, colors, colors

#2- Cuautla, Morelos (2 hours away)

As our desire is to fortify churches throughout Mexico, we visited two pastors in the state of Morelos to see how we could serve them. This weekend we will help with a youth event and Xaume will preach.

They were selling flags everywhere in anticipation of Independence Day.

#3- Azotlan and Jilotepec, Estado de Mexico (3-5 hours away depending on traffic)

We met with two other pastors in this varied state.  One part was tranquil and pined, while the other was pure concrete houses and unbelievably packed traffic.  Next weekend, we plan to facilitate a training for the church's children's leaders. 


As we step in faith, we are asking for revelation and wisdom- that we will cling to the Word of God in all that we do.
Also, this week I start classes at Rhema Bible Training Center and Xaume will be teaching a class.  Please pray for me to absorb all that I can and that Xaume's preparation will be blessed and fruitful. Thank you!

Time

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise—  making the most of the time, because the days are evil.    -Ephesians 5:15-16 God gave me a word for each month this year and February's word was TIME.  The goal: listening AND OBEYING His direction for how to spend time. He knows best - so yielding to His Word has been a challenge since I often think I know what needs to be done and when. But it's so refreshing when we do obey and get to experience His perfect wisdom!   Pray for these ones to continue to grow in their knowledge and walk with God! This past month... Crece Church Plant News:  Two women (mother and daughter) were baptized - expressing their desire to follow Christ completely.  Despite all her nerves and wanting to back out, Imara taught her first time on a Sunday morning! She was baptized last February. (Brayan also preached this month - we continue to encourage ones to let themselves be stretched and u...

Persevere!

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer .   -Romans 12:12 This word hit me hard at the women's retreat we attended at the beginning of the month. After my "I-don't-want-to-suffer" breakdown, God sweetly reminded me of His heart: Rejoice in the love of my salvation! It's not the suffering we're called to, but the perseverance through it to produce in us the joy and privilege of getting to walk WITH Him... And along the way we get to accompany others - praying  that they encounter Him!  Moments like this - even when just a few take look at God's Word - are glimpses of hope. Pray with us for these ones to hunger for more, seeking after Him with all their hearts! Many are facing family difficulties, pursuing false gods (namely, "la muerte"/ saint death), struggling with addictions, violence, apathy, etc. This month we had a couple good times with some of the Twist and Crece church leaders.  Special praise for Karla as she h...

Pressed

“We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ It’s been a tough month. Good things but also some heavy pushback, spiritually. I’ve been prayerfully aware of the weight of this area we’ve targeted to minister in: Ecatepec. The name literally means “hill of the god of the air.” We know there’s quite a stronghold of the enemy in the region. And though it often feels like we’re working a pickax, we’re thankful  that His praise is the constant. And for the promise that we WILL NOT BE CRUSHED.  Highlights:  Worship night at Karina’s  home  (just two blocks from Crece church)  this Saturday night!  It was a great  time for the young people to come together, have some good hang out time and then mov...
