For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
-Isaiah 9:6
Handel´s Messiah helps us remember this famous verse. With parents and relatives assembled for the Christmas recital at Liam´s school, Principal Fabiola had invited us to teach a lesson. For the memory verse section, I set to make it fit (in Spanish) into the Messiah´s melody. As I played and sang, families repeated and played on their instruments.
Going back in time... Xaume had a full trip in Guatemala, teaching and training. We praise God for all He did in each of the students´ lives and pray that they continue to be fortified in the Word and Spirit. May many, many children, youth and families be reached and discipled through their lives.
Praise God (after attending the trainings), we received 200 Christmas child boxes! We will distribute them in January to children in the areas of the four Twist Kids´ Clubs. Samaritan´s Purse´s vision is to reach and disciple new children, so each club will be targeting either a different colonia for 12 weeks or targeting kids who haven´t attended regularly.
La Iglesia del Señor (The Church of the Lord) asked us to facilitate a Christmas lesson for their three kids´ services. Thankfully, five of the teachers from Twist Valle de Chalco came to minister with us. They did a great job. Please pray for them to be strengthened and renewed in Him as they faithfully serve week-to-week.
At the beginning of the month, each Twist Club had it´s Christmas celebration to close the year. They´ll start back up in January. Pray for kids to be hungry and to keep coming back for more of HIM. Pray that all opposition be broken off so that they can grow up into His likeness.
Here below, Sergio is the leader for the group of older kids who are really teens by now. Pray for leaders to rise up so that he and his wife Dámaris can focus on the new teen group.
These three boys: Axel, Francisco and Emmanuel were some of the rowdiest at our last outreach at Berea Church. I made a special point to love on them and encourage them since they´re often the ones needing it most. Pray that the teachers and kids can accept them and treat them well since I heard many negative comments coming from the "church-going" kids.
And...Thanks to special giving from some of you this Ohio visit, we were able to finally have three doors made and installed on our apartment! They´re beautiful. Thank you so, so much. Now we have two private bedrooms and the start to a closet!
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Thank you. Thank you for being part of our lives and the lives of many more here in Mexico. May all of Jesus´ qualities mentioned in Isaiah 9:6 be more real to you everyday, especially in 2020!
