Active August

After two months of the new Twist club, we're glad to see kids come week after week.  It's not a big group, and who comes varies, but there are several faithful attendees.  

And we're excited that there are also a few adults who have shown interest in spiritual things and are eager to learn more.  So, finally this month of September we'll be having our first Sunday morning gatherings. Pray with us for the hungry to come and see, that we can worship in Spirit and in Truth, and for His covering over us all. 

We just want to be a channel for people to meet and grow with Jesus!

Pray that we may grow and raise leaders through this process - to genuinely love on and serve the kiddos as well as their families. 

Hearts in Action team members Brayan and Pris (not related) leading choreographies!  Pris helps us with Twist, and works three-days a week for us with our kids and home.
Brayan just joined us as we've started the new Twist - he's been a KEY element at Twist club and has been working these last few months on the facility renovation process. 
They've held down the fort when we've had other Saturday ministry commitments.

In other news from the month... 

Xau's had several speaking engagements, including flying down to Tabasco to do a several-day seminar series on ministering to children,

taking an eight-plus-hour bus ride home after speaking to these young people on a missional training retreat in Oaxaca, 

and as a family, we took a trip to the city of Leon, Guanajuato to facilitate the "Passing the Torch" children's ministry seminar. 
I think people attended from 12 or so churches in the city and were very grateful for the training.

Liam was thrilled to get to stay at a "hotel house" where they kindly hosted the five of us.

We've also been taking a story-telling training with Loren and Pat via Zoom.  So I get to incorporate some of those principles into our Bible-story telling workshop (Leon).

After Xau's teaching at the Sunday morning services, we got to see some dear pastor friends of ours and have a mini-celebration for Grace's second birthday before making the five-hour drive home. (Leon)

And yes, the kids were supposed to start school this week, but all had colds. So shooting for Monday to start at their new school two days a week (just the boys) and home-schooling the other days.

In between all the goings on, lots of trips to the park/ice cream with the kids 

Hoping this month will be a bit less busy and that despite the fact that Xau and I be missing two Saturdays of Twist (due to training seminars), the kids will still feel treasured and valued. 

Thanks for joining us on this journey! We're honored to have your love and support.
