Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your soul, spirit and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
HE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL, WHO ALSO WILL DO IT.
1 Thessalonians 5:22-24
What a month! While we've both been busy in different ways, God's faithfulness continues to strengthen us and affirm that HE is the one who does the work in and through us.
Passing the Torch Seminar made for a big weekend for Xaume, Mitch and Jesus. Held in San Luis Potosi (a 6-hour drive north), the all-day conference is designed to give intensive instruction and ideas for effective kids' ministry.
Wanting to make the most of the trip, on Sunday, Xaume and the team ministered to the kids in each of the four campuses of the host-church. By incorporating a different kind of lesson using simple science experiments and giving Biblical applications, the kids were encouraged and teachers challenged to be intentionally creative in their classrooms.
Back in the city, Xaume had an exciting opportunity to teach at a Bible institute at a church we had not worked with before. The 5,000 member Church of the Lord, is active in church planting. They recently opened an intensive training center for their pastors and leaders. Xau had the chance to sow the Word of God and vision for kids' ministry two days straight - with over 14 hours of class!
To close the month, Twist Kids' Club Ixtapaluca celebrated their one-year anniversary! It's certainly been a year of challenges for the teachers and the local church. But we praise God that He is the one who remains faithful and HE is the one who is causing change in the lives of these kids! Keep praying for His glory to break through in the lives of the church and community.
That's all for now :) Thank you so much for taking the time to read. It means so much to us. And thank you, thank you, thank you for partnering with us by interceeding on our behalf and for planting in us.
May you be encouraged by His faithfulness to fulfill His purpose in each of you! All our love.

| Jesus teaching one of the sessions. Since I wasn't able to physically be at the seminar, I sent a video conference that I recorded here at home! |

| One-hundred and forty teachers, volunteers and parents attended the seminar! Pray that they can put the teaching into practice! |

| So blessed. The kids' ministry at church organized a big baby shower for us! Our cell group and a friend of mine also had baby showers for me. God truly surprises us with His provision and support. |
