Ten twelfths: October

My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. 

John 10:27

As seasons come and go, as we reflect and seek God's heart for steps ahead, He reminds us of the great pleasure He takes in us listening to His voice.

As I've been here visiting Ohio, Xaume has been traveling a bit as well.  He and a pastor friend of ours were ministering down in Chiapas (*see map above) to give a Passing the Torch seminar and to facilitate a kids' outreach. 

What we love about teaching Passing the Torch is seeing parents and teachers refreshed by the Word of God and encouraged to continue!  The church in this community said it was the first time they had had any kind of kids' ministry training in that area.  

Choose life outreach in Chiapas focused on the choice we have to follow Jesus 

Earlier this month we got to share with little little ones!  The kids' conference we were a part of a couple months ago was only for six-year-olds and up.  So this church invited us back to be with the wee ones. From babies and toddlers to five-year-olds, we visited classrooms, sang, and spoke to them about God's purpose for them.  

Twist continues this month - we are glad to see new kids each week even though overall attendance does vary. We're praying for the church in this community to rise up and take ownership in loving and teaching these precious ones. 

The special guest church this month did a great job with the lesson and took time to share with the moms!

O.H.! Here we are with great grandparents and grandparents.  It's been a wonderful visit - such treasured time together.  

Xaume was here by video as we set aside some time to learn about Mexico's spiritual climate and pray together.  Thank you all who were able to come and each of you who prays for this nation. 

And, finally, this past weekend, Xaume and the team partnered with a local church west of Mexico City to reach out to kids in the area.  Their objective: celebrate life in Jesus during this season when there is such focus on the death (Day of the Dead is November 2nd).

Thanks once more for reading! We so value you're love, prayers and support.  We'd love to hear from you, too!  

Xau and I (and Liam) are looking forward to being back together again soon!  Pray for us to set aside time to listen to God's voice as we're looking towards 2018 and beyond.  


We praise God for you!
