October


 Whoever has the Son, has life; whoever does not have the Son of God, does not have life. --1 John 4:12

We worked with the youth from this church to present dramas and choreography for the lesson.
Thank you all for your prayers.  This month we were able to do several children outreach events-- welcoming kids from each community to hear the message of Life.
While many celebrate the Day of the Dead, we have decided to emphasize life in Christ Jesus.


This lesson focuses on the verse above-- the fact that without Christ, we are unable to have true, abundant life.


Kids outreaches aren't just for kids.  With the combined outreaches, we were able to minister to an equal amount of adults!

Closing the service by praying over the children and youth

And the kids for their parents

Here we are at a different location- on the street in a more central area. 


Many children and adults received the Lord as their Savior!  Please pray for them to continue seeking after God and to attend the local churches that we worked with so they may grow in Him.

This is another area north-west of the city.  The shrine in the background is to Saint Death.  Hallelujah Christ overcame!  
 

This was going to be an outreach in the street, but they church wasn't granted permission.  But we went and invited kids to come in, and they did!  It actually turned out better because it was a cold day!


With the different outreaches combined, over 200 children, 200 adults, and 50 youth heard the message of life in Christ.  Those who prayed to receive Jesus for the first time numbered 55.


We praise God for His work here in Mexico and pray for more! There are so many who are walking without a knowledge of the One True God.  Pray for us to have more opportunities to share His Word and the Truth of His love.

Praise God for you-- thank you for your faithfulness.  You are a blessing.

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...
