Maintain the Mission

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.  
Matthew 24:14


With all that is happening in our world today, our mission remains the same: PREACH the gospel of the Kingdom. 



While back in Mexico, we were invited to preach to this youth group and encourage them not to give up but to press into His purposes!


Pray for these young people to grow in their faith and to be bold in sharing with others.



Earlier in June, one of the schools we visited in Oaxaca asked for us to come and do a values lesson for the whole community! So we traveled down and across the mountains to the nearly isolated town to share with them about the Truth. 


This community is very closed and there is one missionary  (Adriana) working here with her mom.  Pray for grace and favor in her witness. 



The kids were so attentive!  Pray for the community leaders to open the door for the gospel so that they can develop a relationship with Jesus. 



Route to Chia, Colombia

Our time in Colombia has been eye-opening.  Even though the gospel has expanded in recent years, many churches are infested with doctrinal plagues.   Gaps among congregations threaten a vital witness.

Violence and crime continue while disinterested police take little to no initiative. 


Pray for this nation to seek justice in Christ, for believers to study the Word for themselves, and for authorities to bend their knees to the King of Kings.   



The pastors of this church are Jaime & Yaneth. Pray for them and their congregation to rise up strong! Xaume preached-- challenging us to search out our motivations.   Christ's purposes should be ours in all that we do.  



God opened the door for us to pray over the youth and young couples.  There's so much potential!  Pray that each of them will respond to His call.


Tia Elena (Aunt Elena) is here on the left-- she's been serving with HIA for almost 20 years!  Then: Paula is a lawyer, Johanna does graphic design, Laura works as an administrative assistant, and Jenniffer does the accounting!
One of my favorite things has been getting to know the Hearts in Action Colombia team!   Pray for them to be strengthened and fortified in the Spirit.  



 We've been working here in the offices on projects for HIA including documents for the new website.  


Last weekend (Saturday to Monday) we held a "Passing the Torch" seminar at this church in Soacha,  a poor community just south of Bogota.  It was so exciting to see the Body of Christ hungry for the Word!  




God moved in power- revealing the truth of His heart for the new generations.   He touched the children and they prayed and prophesied over the adults! 




This generation belongs to Jesus.



  
Praise God for His power in our lives!  Thank you for your prayers and support!  We head back to Mexico on the 7th. May He continue to open doors for all of us to preach the gospel of His KINGDOM.

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...

Treasure

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. - 2 Corinthians 4:7 Did anyone see that recent headline about a diver who stumbled upon nearly 50,000 bronze coins? The team also noted fragments of broken pottery.  I thought of this verse - imagining that "treasure" being held in those old earthen vessels. That's the beauty here.  Despite our fragility, God chooses to deposit in us the eternal riches of His Holy Spirit!  Praises: Renovations underway! This room had horrible moisture running through it due to inadequate roofing. Now, with proper paneling, the leakage will be eliminated. After remodeling adjustments for the adjacent room, Hector (full-time intern) will have a bedroom and this taller room will serve as our first church office! It was quite a project, but we're thankful to have a space for him to move into in the next week or two.  The beginning of September we celebrated Crece church's three ye...
