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.

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...
