November

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.  

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

First off, my apologies for the shortage of photos.  We had a camera malfunction that we hope to resolve soon. Nonetheless, it has been a great month! 

We are rejoicing...

because God has opened an opportunity for us to serve in two youth groups as mentors to the leaders.

Working with youth is an area deep in our hearts. For them to have a solid group where His Word is taught and His love is shown and His Spirit is welcome-- that's our goal. This position gives us the responsibility to oversee the administrative and practical aspect of youth ministry.  To clarify- we are not the youth leaders- we are simply in a support role to fortify and grow what they are doing.  

Fun.

Join us in praying for discernment and revelation in how to best mentor these leaders for the expansion of His Kingdom among youth. 

We are praying...

for the coming month and year.  December holds Christmas outreaches that we are planning.  May the true motivation for celebration be made known!

As 2013 winds down, we've taken time to process and pray.  We praise God for what He has done, but we are expectant for more.  

The Zocalo- central square- at Christmas time.

Please pray for us to move by the Spirit in all that we do- and above all else to exalt the name of Jesus.   

We are giving thanks...

to have the privilege of sharing God's Word in Mexico.  I got to preach at the Bible Institute where I'm studying.  It was really cool.  It's so exciting how the Bible becomes even more alive- and even more powerful when we study it to share with others.  

I just taught once.  Here's Xaume teaching in a different campus one of 17 hours for the class Ministerial Ethics! Talk about responsibility.  

We are also giving thanks for each of you.  Ok, so it may sound cheesy with Thanksgiving and all, but truly,  God has formed us as His Body.  And we are thankful to Him for you.  

May He satisfy you with good things!! As we can testify to His greatness, may He astound you with His goodness and glory!
