If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Matthew 7:11


This month we simply want to testify to the goodness of God. We are so thankful.  Grace is doing beautifully, and we are sleeping more hours at night!  Little by little we are getting into the new swing of things.  Of course, we ask you to pray always for wisdom in time-management. 

Praise God we are feeling well, never having any symptoms, and we've now graduated out of our strict month-quarantine (after the positive COVID results).  We're thankful to have been able to stock up at Costco and buy Liam's school supplies and other needs online. 

Before you click on the video, we just want to say this is all for God's glory.  Through your generosity, God has provided supernaturally (this year especially).  We've invested in the ministry and have also been able to renovate a part of the property.  

If you remember from a couple months ago, we planned originally on using the remodelled space for guests and AirBnB (still possible for the future).  However, God opened the door for us to be able to use it currently as our office.  After many years of dreaming of having a designated ministry office space, we officially have one! 


Let's take a look back at a few years ago... as you can see the space was quite different. 


It's truly a miracle and a testimony!  Thank you.  We've dedicated it to God's glory and know that it all belongs to Him.





Other news from the month includes Xau writing kids' lessons for different churches' online transmissions, leading a devotional for HIA Peru, and meeting via Zoom with the Twist Kids' Club leaders as they find creative ways to start up again.  

Twist Chalco plans to do lessons with small groups of kids in homes. Pastora Judith has about twenty volunteers she's organizing to break up into teams. Twist Ixtapaluca is to rotate by age-range each week and implementing safety precautions (one week 4-6 year-olds, one week 7-9s and one week 10-12s). 






Thank you for reading and always rooting for us. We feel so loved - even at a distance.  Sending hugs from all and snuggles from Grace :)

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...

His Imagination

What eye did not see and ear did not hear, and what never entered the human mind -- God prepared this for those who love Him.  - 1 Corinthians 2:9 It’s been a month of lots of emotions. From baptisms, to celebrating three years of Twist Kids’ Club Ecatepec,  to delegating leadership to some of our team, to kids finishing the school year, to travel (the kids and I to Ohio and Xau to ministry trips)…  The constant through it all is that He is our Source. He just keeps reminding me: “Just be with Me.”  We weren’t sure that anyone was going to be baptized at our semi-annual date, but were so excited to see three young men say "yes" to the invitation. More than the baptism itself, it's the fact that they've chosen to follow Christ. Pictured here is Manuel. He’s been reading the Bible for himself and is really getting it. Please pray for their constant protection and growth. Praise God for Brayan and Hector who have specifically sown into these young lives.  Yotzan, C...

Every Step

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness. - Isaiah 9:2 Praise God for His light that breaks through our darkness!  This month I wanted to highlight a few testimonies from the year, starting with two key encounters since we've been back this fall.  On two unrelated occasions, we were able to sit down with beloved church members to work through and minister deliverance in areas of bondage in their lives. Praise God for His Spirit who moves us to confession and repentance and works to restore us by the power of His Word.  Pray for more of these times - that we may all be delivered from evil - just as Jesus prayed.     Training seminar for children's workers at this church: Eliaquim. It was an edifying and powerful time as they were touched by Father's heart for young ones. Jocelyn (above) & Karla: two more testimonies.  Karla started volunteering in Twist in 2023, but after star...
