Seasons

But by God's grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. 

- 1 Corinthians 15:10

Amazonian Peru

What more could we want but God’s Grace? When I get into a spiral of downward thoughts, this is the best place to come back to: thanks and praise for His life in us.

Praises:


Siblings / cousins of a family from the neighborhood that's growing through Crece (church plant) & Twist (kids' club outreach).  Please pray for the rest of the household as they will not allow us to hold Bible studies in their home yet.


While in Ohio, we received this testimony about a young man we'd prayed for. Deep in drug abuse, Emanuel came to his breaking point and "turned himself in" at a Christian rehab center where he encountered God's love as Father and gave His life to Christ. His heart restored and life transformed, he's now been coming to Crece (cray-say) church with his mom!

(This is not him 😅but another young man from Crece.)

Xau’s Peru trip: Iquitos (north-eastern city): time with his sister, Yazna (missionary), ministry with a visiting team, children’s outreaches and teaching at missions school. Lima: visit and ministry time with the Hearts in Action team and church.
Paul and Alida: Hearts in Action directors, Lima 
Bible Institute in Guatemala, Guatemala where Xau taught "Introduction to Children's, Middle and High School Ministry" this past weekend.

Prayer requests:


Back on the ground here in Mexico City, we've been touching base with the team - praying into ways for building them up. 
One step is to remodel/create a space for intern Hector, serving with us since February, to move in on-site at the Crece church plant. Please pray for His health as he's getting some studies done.  

We are HOMESCHOOLING this fall. Today was the first day - Liam gave it a 7.5; despite some tantrums, Kai said he liked doing his work; and Grace said she liked homeschool!







Children's outreach with a church in another area of Ecatepec
Increased support raising 
As we look to grow our staff and work, expenses also grow. 
One upcoming specific request is to send two collaborators to the To the Great Commission training in Guatemala this November. 600 USD will help cover their airfare.  

Other requests include: A larger vehicle for our family (minivan); a ministry van for outreach/Twist clubs. (15 passenger); new staff support, ministry space renovations, worship team instruments and general expenses.

Renewal in the Spirit for Twist and Crece leaders and teams.  Wisdom and unity for us in walking with them towards Him.

Thank you, once again for joining with us in this journey of faith! We praise God for you. At all times, let's keep spreading His love and GOOD news :)

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...
