December

So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find...and the wedding hall was filled with guests.  -Matthew 22:10

Among other activities,going back in time to 2012, we had the opportunity to facilitate outreaches in the streets.  I was amazed, once again, to see how God is calling all people to Himself and how desperate we are for Him. 

Let us all be a part of inviting guests in to fill the wedding hall up!


Training Ixtapaluca, northern D.F.

Here we are presenting a Children`s ministry training for a church in northern D.F.  As part of the training, we prepared a gospel lesson with the leaders and rehearsed it with them.  We then went into the streets, inviting the children and their families to come to the activity.  The attendees were touched by the power of God.   

Teaching about object lessons: using everyday objects to present biblical truths. 

Preparing our hearts with God`s heart for children. 

Not only the children were touched but also their parents. 

The kids listening to the lesson on God`s great exchange for us!

Youth Service, Chabacano, central D.F.

In this church we`re leading a youth service- with the focus on friendship.  In small groups the participants presented short dramas to demonstrate how they could set aside their own interests and focus on those of others. 

Breaking the ice with some team-building activities.

Commiting  to take the same attitude of Christ Jesus- a servant- in order that those around us see Him in us.

Christmas Outreach, Estado de Mexico

A Christmas skit in which gifts, the yummy food, and Santa all claim to be the best part of Christmas.  At the end, Jesus enters to claim His rightful place as the center.  

A church in Estado de Mexico invited us to help with an outreach activity during the Christmas season.  Children and their parents lined the street to hear the good news of Jesus` great exchange: our sins for His eternal love and life. Most of those who came were not believers or members of the church. Afterwards they thanked us and asked when service times were.

Christmas Outreach, Santa Maria, D.F.

Another church wanted to have a children`s outreach for their community and asked us to lead it.  We taught a team of children dramas to present in the lesson-- teaching them that they can be a part of ministry as well.

Training and Preaching in Columbus, OH

Dulce Refugio is a Spanish-speaking church in Columbus.  When we were home for Christmas, we had the opportunity to share with them-- providing a training for the children`s workers and preaching on Sunday. 

Xaume teaching the congregation about the importance of children`s ministry.

Blessing the kids.

Praise God for His power to work through us. Thank you for your prayers and support.  Each one of you is a blessed to us and to all those around you.    

In order to best continue testifying to God`s work here in Mexico, through Xaume and I, please send in your preference: continue the blog or send an email newsletter.  Thank you!
