But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my POWER is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
This verse.
Only He can turn our weaknesses into beauty. We're at one of those points. One of those moments where He reminds us once again to totally trust Him. What a trustworthy God we serve!
Xaume and Jesus Cruz accompanied mission pastor Braulio on the long trip to the Oaxacan mountains for a weekend of Day of the Dead kids' outreach lessons and an all-day training seminar for local churches.
Below - teaching the Choose Life lesson at Conquering Frontiers' three services.
A near-by church hosted the training for Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child box give aways. The pastor invited Xau to speak at one of the sessions. There were over 50 churches represented!
At Valley Christian Center, we held three Saturday trainings this month. They also invited a pastor couple from another church to come. Some of the topics were "How to prepare a lesson" and "Characteristics of children's ministers."
Our collaborators Lalo and Ale came and gave some of the sessions too! The pastors were very grateful for the time together and expressed what a blessing it was for their congregations.
On Thanksgiving we appropriately dressed as pilgrims. : )
We prepared and taught a thanksgiving lesson for this school and later had a great meal with the Bueno family (below).
Xau, his sister Yazna, Jesus Cruz and two of the Twist Kids' Club volunteers, Mitch and Keila, took a trip to Zacatlan, Puebla (5 hrs. away) to reach out to kids in town. A Peruvian friend invited him since she is involved in a service project there.
Can't believe another year is almost through. We are thankful. And prayerful.
Please pray for supernatural protection and for His power to break through - in our weakness.
We send our love to all of you and are so looking forward to some time in Ohio soon!
May He fill each of you with His joy and perspective,
The Buenos
