September 2021

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1


Praising God for a wonderful, busy visit to Ohio. As with any trip, there were moments of stress, stretching and adjusting;  but it was such a gift. 

We celebrated with family, saw dear friends, shared about our work, ministered, enjoyed God's creation, played, and got  perspective. 

Here are a few shots from the month, but I'll slowly be posting more on social media :) 

Thank you, Father, for this season of making memories together!  Thank you, Father for each person you've placed in our lives! Bless them indeed!

Speaking at Heritage Christian Church about what's been happening over these 10 years of ministry!

We also had a chance to share about the spiritual climate in Mexico. So many live in a syncretistic, fearful, confused state. Pray for furtherance of the Gospel and revelation of God's true heart!

Time of sharing and prayer with the Heritage staff. 

So many fun and special moments with Grandma and Grandpa! It's such a treasure for the boys (and Grace, of course) to get to be with my side of the family. And it's a big treat for me!  
Celebrating Grace's First Birthday (a couple weeks late) with beloved family


Heritage Kids' Church - encouraging them towards God's heart for the nations. Each group spent a few minutes hearing about another country, praying for it, and then moving on to the next station.


I didn't know which photo to include for time with friends - but we're thankful for the time we had with so many in person! 

(And those we didn't get to see this time, we have you in our hearts!)


Some much needed family play time up at Lake Michigan 

Praying we can celebrate and enjoy every season God places us in as we transition back to the big city :) 

Thank you for your love, prayers, support and kindness to us! We see Him through you.

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...
