 The Lord is a REFUGE to the oppressed, a REFUGE in times of trouble.  -Psalm 9:9


Isai. 

He was one of the teachers at Twist, Chalco. During the pandemic, he and his wife Aris Bell hosted a small kids' cell group in their home every week. 

Now, he is with the Father.  His family contracted COVID this month, passing it to him, and after a bout in the hospital he passed away. We're forever grateful for his life and we praise God for the seed he sowed into many children's lives. 

Even though some days are rough - like when we get news of death and tragedy - or when we're simply fed up with frustration (or the testing of parenting), there's a trend at work. It's a trend of God's faithfulness. When I fall into complaint and exasperation, the warning light is blinking to stop and re-focus. HE is our REFUGE and strength, our hope and our good FATHER!   


FINALLY went through all 141 pages of the Twist Manual and noted final editing changes!

Aside from Bible study and assigned reading, intern Jesus worked hard on various home projects this month including mounting wood panels and painting the recording studio.

Which...we got to use to record a new video tutorial! It's a slow process (slower than we'd like), but we're making progress little-by-little. 

Xau's sister, Yazna will soon be flying to Oklahoma to study a third-year Bible institute missions training. We were glad to have very special time with her this year and accompany her to various churches where she shared God's word. 

After months of a paused Bible study with the Garduño family, we were thrilled to have one evening study together before our trip to Ohio.  We view Ciro and Angeles as pastors-in-training as they long to plant a mission in Toluca (1 hour away) where his family is from. There are no churches in that rural area.

And, this month was full of buying, sorting and labeling school supplies and ordering uniforms as the boys had their first day of school today! They'll miss a few weeks, but I'm sure they'll catch up fast.

Thank you so much for reading and taking interest in our walk. We praise God for you. 

We hope to see you in Ohio! You are all invited to attend our sharing night on Tuesday, September 7th (6:30-8:30) at Heritage Christian Church. 

Love in Him, 
The Buenos

A Man of Faith

“and we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and at home with the Lord.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬    Juan Jaime Bueno: January 21, 1948- January 24, 2026  Xaume’s dad parted suddenly for his home with the Lord. Though we had seen a steep decline in his health and mobility, we didn’t know it would come this quickly. We honor his life as a man of faith, who treasured the Word, intercession, spiritual warfare and worship. He loved to laugh and keep up with the news. A dear friend to Xau, a father who loved him “as his own,” we will miss his regaños (scolding )  and hugs .  He loved his grandkids, and was very proud of each of them. We were proud of them as they helped unload the Operation Christmas Child boxes this December. The Crece team facilitated three outreach events where kids and families received this free gift from the Father and heard about the greatest gift: a relationship with Him.  La Palma outreach Zumpango Christmas Child Outreach...

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...

To Him

For from Him and through Him and to HIM are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.  -Romans 11:36 July highlights: Women's breakfast at  La Palma : At this Twist start-up site, we are seeing many moms hungry for the gospel. Once-a-month, volunteers from Crece church will be coordinating a breakfast-Bible time for them to join their kiddos in drawing near (currently, Twist is happening here two Saturdays per month). This is the beginning of a church plant...  Interview date! We finally heard back: Xau's Visa-Greencard interview is on September 17th in Ciudad Juarez (border town). Praise God! Praying and planning for next steps - asking for HIS direction and provision in all things. Xau had great trips to Monterrey, Chiapas and San Luis Potosi to teach at youth camps, preach and teach children's ministry seminars. Liam went with him to San Luis :) In one town where they ministered, the couple has been pastoring for 27 years. They'd been praying for God to ...
