February

Diligently keep the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us. 
Ephesians 4:3 


Our prayer is to continue to grow in unity of the Spirit as we preach and teach the best news there is: Christ Jesus. 

The picture above is from a youth event we organized at the beginning of the month.  With the goal of a youth outreach in March, we wanted to integrate and train two church youth groups so that when the event arrives they can confidently and purposefully share with those who attend.
Here we had a morning of teambuilding in the park.  To close, we heard from the Word about the importance of unity and we took a time to pray together.






This month we finished the remaining two children's worker trainings for a church, and to practice with them we invited kids from the neighborhood to an in-the-street lesson!










Friends of ours are assistant pastors at a church in central D.F. We were blessed with an invitation for Xaume to preach one Sunday.



I was excited to be a guest speaker at an evangelistic women's breakfast.  After sharing about the restoration of our communion and confidence with God through Christ, we had a time to pray for and minister to the women.


Xaume began to teach a class on children's ministry for an opening Bible institute in the south of the D.F.



Huge provision. This is our new car!  God put us on the heart of a stranger in the congregation of a pastor friend of ours.  He felt prompted to give an offering for the ¨teacher who comes from far away.¨
The offering plus some of our savings plus an almost half-price sale from a different pastor friend of ours...


Thank you, Jesus.  We are very blessed to be able to travel by car.  It is a big help for cutting down on time spent in transit and carrying our materials for the ministry.  




Xaume just finished teaching Personal Evangelism at the Bible institute.  Part of our homework was a group project.  In my group, we went to this downtown plaza, bought drinks, and invited people over for a free soda.  The posters have the verse John 4:13-14 written on them-- ¨Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give,...will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life--¨which we used to initiate conversations, listen, share, and pray.




Xaume was invited to help with a pastor's conference in Estado de Mexico.  Stay strong guys!  


After Xaume's class on evangelism had finished, a pastor classmate of mine asked Xaume to give classes at his church on the subject.  He always has us repeat after him, ¨The great commission is for me!¨  Amen!


Thanks for reading/viewing.  We are thankful for you and ask for your continued support-- to pray with us for this nation, Mexico, and the harvest that is ready.  Please pray for us to be in step with the Holy Spirit in every opportunity. You are a blessing!

A Man of Faith

“and we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and at home with the Lord.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬    Juan Jaime Bueno: January 21, 1948- January 24, 2026  Xaume’s dad parted suddenly for his home with the Lord. Though we had seen a steep decline in his health and mobility, we didn’t know it would come this quickly. We honor his life as a man of faith, who treasured the Word, intercession, spiritual warfare and worship. He loved to laugh and keep up with the news. A dear friend to Xau, a father who loved him “as his own,” we will miss his regaños (scolding )  and hugs .  He loved his grandkids, and was very proud of each of them. We were proud of them as they helped unload the Operation Christmas Child boxes this December. The Crece team facilitated three outreach events where kids and families received this free gift from the Father and heard about the greatest gift: a relationship with Him.  La Palma outreach Zumpango Christmas Child Outreach...

Every Step

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness. - Isaiah 9:2 Praise God for His light that breaks through our darkness!  This month I wanted to highlight a few testimonies from the year, starting with two key encounters since we've been back this fall.  On two unrelated occasions, we were able to sit down with beloved church members to work through and minister deliverance in areas of bondage in their lives. Praise God for His Spirit who moves us to confession and repentance and works to restore us by the power of His Word.  Pray for more of these times - that we may all be delivered from evil - just as Jesus prayed.     Training seminar for children's workers at this church: Eliaquim. It was an edifying and powerful time as they were touched by Father's heart for young ones. Jocelyn (above) & Karla: two more testimonies.  Karla started volunteering in Twist in 2023, but after star...

To Him

For from Him and through Him and to HIM are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.  -Romans 11:36 July highlights: Women's breakfast at  La Palma : At this Twist start-up site, we are seeing many moms hungry for the gospel. Once-a-month, volunteers from Crece church will be coordinating a breakfast-Bible time for them to join their kiddos in drawing near (currently, Twist is happening here two Saturdays per month). This is the beginning of a church plant...  Interview date! We finally heard back: Xau's Visa-Greencard interview is on September 17th in Ciudad Juarez (border town). Praise God! Praying and planning for next steps - asking for HIS direction and provision in all things. Xau had great trips to Monterrey, Chiapas and San Luis Potosi to teach at youth camps, preach and teach children's ministry seminars. Liam went with him to San Luis :) In one town where they ministered, the couple has been pastoring for 27 years. They'd been praying for God to ...
