March 2020


The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.  Those who know Your name trust in You because You have not abandoned those who seek You, Yahweh. 
-Psalm 9:9-10

Just realizing this picture is good for March due to the clovers hinting at St. Patrick´s Day ;)
What times we are living! Thank you, Father, that YOU never change.  You´re always true, faithful, trustworthy, steadfast, unchanging!


Thankfully, we did manage to squeeze in the Passing the Torch Seminar at the beginning of this month before things started really being affected by COVID-19. Yes it was less attended than we anticipated, but we were thankful to have the turnout we did - over 80 children´s teachers and volunteers. 

Home-working with Liam! It´s been an adjustment for all of us, but it is cool to be a part of what he´s learning.  He even has online Zoom time with his class and teachers this week.  Pray for him to have peace and to be able to focus with the new dynamic.  (And for us, too!) 


Trying to make the most of time here at home - we posted two new videos to the Youtube channel after many months.  Xau´s is on tips for preparing your children´s class and mine is a song I translated into Spanish.  So...we´re hoping to do more recording during this time as well as writing lessons / material!  Pray that we can have good time management and to be flexible at the same time :)

Friends of ours, Lalo and Ale continue their church services and invited us to preach Sunday evening.  We´re thrilled to see their new mission taking off - challenging the saints and reaching new believers.  Praise God there were a few people who received the Lord that night!

I just had to put a picture of Malakai.  He´s at such a cute stage - saying new words all the time, more active and mischievous than ever, and, he loves to read! 


Thank you for keeping up!  Praying for each of you to experience God in a deeper way this season, to be refreshed in Him and renewed in faith.  All our love.

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...
