October

Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

Psalm 90:12

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco 

Thank you all for praying for the Choose Life outreaches this month! God has been faithful as always to touch the lives of kids and adults through His Word.  

HE IS OUR LIFE.

 Place: Telixtlauaca (Oaxaca)
 Choose Life lesson 
 Host church: Light and Life

Here are a few pictures from the first outreach in Oaxaca - while Xaume was down there.  They're praying to give their dreams, plans, and decisions to Jesus. 

Later that day Xaume gave a brief training to the children's ministry volunteers - encouraging them to continue using their creativity to reach the children in the community.

As mentioned in the last blog, Xau spoke  at this church in Oaxaca - emphasizing the importance of sowing the Word generationally in the home.

 Much of the month was filled with preparation: i.e.  picking up donations of candy, writing the entire lesson plan, buying and making visuals and props, designing and printing publicity, getting publicity to the churches, practicing with the youth at different churches, etc.

By using object lessons, songs and drama, the bottom line of the lesson is to choose life!  When we face decisions, great and small, God has given us two choices: life and death, blessing and curse.  Choosing life means choosing Him, and asking Him what to do.

Just had to throw this one in here : )  

From choosing what T.V. show to watch, to choosing whether to make fun of someone or to build him up, to talking to God first thing in the morning - these are all decisions.  When we put Him first, He can bless us. 

(Check out Deuteronomy 30, especially verses 11-20.)

God provided for a wonderful vacation escape to the beach this month in Puerto Vallarta.  It was a much needed time to relax, reflect, and refresh! Gracias Dios!

We got to go to a friend's wedding while we were there, too! 

Back in the city...

Place: San Andres (DF)

Host church: Family Restoration Christian Church

 Place: Ixtapaluca (State of Mexico)
 Choose Life lesson 
 Host church: Garden of Gethsemane

At some outreaches, many new people came, at others, mostly believers were present, but in both environments God spoke to me about the importance of breaking through darkness.  

I had a deep sense that these families desperately need breakthrough - regardless of where they fall across the economic spectrum.  

Pray with us for each family to draw close to Him, to call upon His Name and seek the truth in Him, our life.
