October 2021

"I have come into the world as a light, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness."  - John 12:46


October always seems to creep up on us! It's the time of year for the Choose Life outreaches! (Day of the Dead / Halloween alternative campaign). So we've been working diligently this month on getting the lesson ready.  

Here are the basic stages...

1. Write the lesson (schedule event times and dates) 

This Includes: brainstorming, theme, sequence, story-writing, choreography, practical application, central Bible verse, message, activities, etc.  Here's one of the video sections Xau filmed for the verse. (Kids from Twist Chalco)


2. Calculate materials needed and purchase them

One of Xau's shopping trips downtown

3. Prepare the materials, visuals and multimedia

Just a few of the cardboard, poster-board cut outs for the story

4. Design and print publicity and coloring page


5. Rehearse and distribute materials 

(coordinate with Twist Clubs what they'll need to reproduce the lesson, etc.)

Here I'm testing out some choreography
6. Pack up and go! 

(Set up, present the lesson then pack up again)

Ready to pack the car!

7. Register accounting (gather receipts and record costs) 

The "black-box" theatre set - uses black lights - Xau created (Spray-painted PVC pipes and lots of black fabric)

8. Sort pictures!



This year's lesson (with the neon theme) focuses on fine-tuning our spiritual senses in order to avoid danger and stay close to Jesus' light. 

Please pray with us specifically for these next few days: both for the outreach lessons that will be happening and for the overall environment and oppression during these dates. 

AND... we have the Twist Manual prototype in our hands!  Working on raising funds so that we can print.  Since printing cost went up, we're about halfway to the 5,000 dollar goal. Praying we can print before the end of the year. 

Thank you for your prayers and faithfulness!

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...

Treasure

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. - 2 Corinthians 4:7 Did anyone see that recent headline about a diver who stumbled upon nearly 50,000 bronze coins? The team also noted fragments of broken pottery.  I thought of this verse - imagining that "treasure" being held in those old earthen vessels. That's the beauty here.  Despite our fragility, God chooses to deposit in us the eternal riches of His Holy Spirit!  Praises: Renovations underway! This room had horrible moisture running through it due to inadequate roofing. Now, with proper paneling, the leakage will be eliminated. After remodeling adjustments for the adjacent room, Hector (full-time intern) will have a bedroom and this taller room will serve as our first church office! It was quite a project, but we're thankful to have a space for him to move into in the next week or two.  The beginning of September we celebrated Crece church's three ye...

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...
