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!

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...
