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

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...

His Imagination

What eye did not see and ear did not hear, and what never entered the human mind -- God prepared this for those who love Him.  - 1 Corinthians 2:9 It’s been a month of lots of emotions. From baptisms, to celebrating three years of Twist Kids’ Club Ecatepec,  to delegating leadership to some of our team, to kids finishing the school year, to travel (the kids and I to Ohio and Xau to ministry trips)…  The constant through it all is that He is our Source. He just keeps reminding me: “Just be with Me.”  We weren’t sure that anyone was going to be baptized at our semi-annual date, but were so excited to see three young men say "yes" to the invitation. More than the baptism itself, it's the fact that they've chosen to follow Christ. Pictured here is Manuel. He’s been reading the Bible for himself and is really getting it. Please pray for their constant protection and growth. Praise God for Brayan and Hector who have specifically sown into these young lives.  Yotzan, C...

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...
