Made-It May


I am sure of this that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 1:6 

Rhema Bible Institute Mexico.   These two years of study have surpassed my expectations. I considered myself grounded enough with church and a college degree...


But we can never reach the bottom of God's Word.  There's always more.  
Due to Xaume's urging, I enrolled.   It couldn't hurt.  


I didn't have the slightest idea how much I would learn about God's message of faith. When we choose to believe Him: who He is, what He's promised, and who we are IN Him, life changes.  

Xau's family: They've been my family here in Mexico. GRACIAS!
These two years have been foundational for me.  To excel in any work for the Lord, we must be prepared. It's a beginning that continues on every day: to delve into His presence and live out the gospel.  

Thank you Xaume for encouraging me and challenging me all along the way.  And I know you won't stop :)

While I was finishing up my last classes, Xaume, especially worked hard on youth retreat and misisons trip details for July. 

Yautepec is an agricultural area south of Mexico City.
Amidst much planning and preparation we traveled down to Yautepec, Morelos.  We needed to see the site before deciding that's where the retreat will be.

In Yautepec: One of many shrines to Lady Guadelupe 
Please join with us in prayer for the youth retreat and the following mission trip.  Pray that the youth will be eager and receptive to hear from God and for the villages we'll be visiting to receive the message of Christ wholeheartedly. 


We didn't expect this.  I had wanted to go to Cancun since we got married.  When Mario and Suzanne Babarczy (founders of Hearts in Action) invited us to meet up with them, we couldn't believe it.   


They shared much wisdom as we discussed steps to take in the ministry and strategies to reach the next generation for Christ.  We're planning for the future together.  Thank you Tios! 

 Thank you readers for your faithfulness in supporting us.  We are constantly amazed by the ways you've blessed us.  May you continue to be overwhelmed by His love. 

 In Him,

 Xau and Anna

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...
