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 :)

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...
