November 19


He says, 
"Be still and know that I am God; 
I will be exalted among the nations, 
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10 

We made it a priority to get away this month for a small retreat - even if for just one night.  While the boys stayed with Xau´s parents, we had about 24 ours at this little AirBnB just outside the city. It was a quiet place to talk, pray, read and think about the year and the year to come.

The Twist Kids´ Clubs (4) were busy preparing and hosting their "Choose Life"outreaches at the beginning of the month.  Pastor Braulio and two leaders (Aaron and Angélica) from Twist Kids´ Club in Oaxaca flew out late this month to take the To the Great Commission Training in Guatemala!

 Kai´s presentation at church was this month! It was a special moment to celebrate together. 


After starting a class at Rhema Bible Institute, Xau headed to Guatemala where he´ll help teach and coordinate at the last week of the To the Great Commission Training.  (Thank you to those who donated to cover his travel expenses!) 
While in Guatemala city, he recorded an interview with the children´s leader of an influential church.  Both the children´s and youth pastor express gratitude for Mario´s/Hearts in Action´s vision sown over 20 years ago in their ministries.  

Speaking of interviews, we finally posted the Matt Liston interview to our Youtube channel! To check it out, click below (it´s in English, of course):

Time

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise—  making the most of the time, because the days are evil.    -Ephesians 5:15-16 God gave me a word for each month this year and February's word was TIME.  The goal: listening AND OBEYING His direction for how to spend time. He knows best - so yielding to His Word has been a challenge since I often think I know what needs to be done and when. But it's so refreshing when we do obey and get to experience His perfect wisdom!   Pray for these ones to continue to grow in their knowledge and walk with God! This past month... Crece Church Plant News:  Two women (mother and daughter) were baptized - expressing their desire to follow Christ completely.  Despite all her nerves and wanting to back out, Imara taught her first time on a Sunday morning! She was baptized last February. (Brayan also preached this month - we continue to encourage ones to let themselves be stretched and u...

Persevere!

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer .   -Romans 12:12 This word hit me hard at the women's retreat we attended at the beginning of the month. After my "I-don't-want-to-suffer" breakdown, God sweetly reminded me of His heart: Rejoice in the love of my salvation! It's not the suffering we're called to, but the perseverance through it to produce in us the joy and privilege of getting to walk WITH Him... And along the way we get to accompany others - praying  that they encounter Him!  Moments like this - even when just a few take look at God's Word - are glimpses of hope. Pray with us for these ones to hunger for more, seeking after Him with all their hearts! Many are facing family difficulties, pursuing false gods (namely, "la muerte"/ saint death), struggling with addictions, violence, apathy, etc. This month we had a couple good times with some of the Twist and Crece church leaders.  Special praise for Karla as she h...

Pressed

“We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ It’s been a tough month. Good things but also some heavy pushback, spiritually. I’ve been prayerfully aware of the weight of this area we’ve targeted to minister in: Ecatepec. The name literally means “hill of the god of the air.” We know there’s quite a stronghold of the enemy in the region. And though it often feels like we’re working a pickax, we’re thankful  that His praise is the constant. And for the promise that we WILL NOT BE CRUSHED.  Highlights:  Worship night at Karina’s  home  (just two blocks from Crece church)  this Saturday night!  It was a great  time for the young people to come together, have some good hang out time and then mov...
