Twist Chalco - Covadonga

Early this month we ran into a group of YWAMers who'd just arrived for the outreach portion of their DTS.  We gladly involved them in stations for the kids at the outreach. (Yes, they know Stephanie!) 

We ended up getting in contact and were thrilled that the YWAM group got to visit two of the Twist clubs! The Twist Chalco visit was especially timely, as they've had several volunteers step out just this month. 


Other big news: it's happening! The Twist Manual is being printed.  Praise God we have reached our fundraising goal and are waiting for it to come literally hot off the press.  

THANK YOU for each one who has been a part of cheering us on, praying and giving in this process.  We're excited to keep writing!

Ministering to kids at a church during three services left us with several stories.  Here's just one:

Eleven-year-old Brenda was taller than me.   Light brown hair and a puffy winter coat despite her open-mid-drift blouse, she timidly approached as the children's leader asked us to pray for her since she had suffered a partial facial paralysis during the week.  Brenda explained that it was her mom that worried her. You could tell it weighed heavily on her, whatever it was Mom was going through. 


Laying hands on her, we prayed for 100% restoration for all the nerves and for her to lay every weight at Jesus' feet.  That was exactly what the lesson was on - giving our burdens to Jesus and receiving, in exchange, all the good gifts He has for us: love, peace, eternal life! 



Here's Malakai, studying an injured gecko (our fauna) as the kids were home for the past week and a half on virtual school due to the peak in Covid.  They started back to school today (phew!) but we made it through pretty ok - trying our best to enjoy the mini quarantine. 

Sending our love! Praising our God!

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...
