How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!
-- Matthew 7:11

Scenic Toluca, Estado de Mexico, Mexico. 

I totally underestimate God.  I didn't even ask for this one. But He, in His extravagant love, provided for me to go to Tulsa, Oklahoma to a women's conference called Kindle the Flame.  

Ladies from Rhema, Mexico at Rhema Bible Church, Tulsa!

Honestly, He sent me.  A lady I hardly knew provided the funding for almost the total cost of my plane ticket.  The whole trip proved to me just how surprising His goodness is.  
It was a time He had set aside to pour into me.  I did not expect it. At all.  One cost after another was paid for by simply generous women who chose to plant in my life.  
It left me not only refreshed, built-up, and pampered, but also inspired to continue sowing generously. 

Which, we had the opportunity to do this month.  We helped coordinate and host a group of young men and women from Iquitos, Peru that came to Mexico for three weeks.  Their first time on a mission trip out-of-country, the team was a blessing to many churches and individuals.  

Gringa-me leading the group through the subway! Hold on tight! 

Partnering with a church in Neza, a tough area in Estado de Mexico, the team took time to share Christ with individuals in the neighborhood.

They had the priviledge of trying typical Mexican cuisine!  

Pastor Israel gave the message at a church and testified to God's work in Peru.  On this side, the ladies of the team introduce themselves.

After an evangelism event in a plaza- we partnered with the youth of our church to share Christ in Coyoacan, D.F.

This church in Cuautla, Morelos, is opening it's first year of the Rhema Bible Institute.  The team worked hard to get facilities and desks in shape and ready for classes that started four days later!

The team had told us that their dream was to go to Acapulco.  So they did, and here's the evidence.

Pray for God to continue working in their lives and through their ministry to youth and families in Iquitos, Peru.

Xaume and I were also able to support a local church at their family-building picnic.  We had time to teach the kids, the youth, and then to facilitate fun picnic activities!
