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 starting college in 2024, she pulled away and began struggling in her walk with God.  After a time, she responded to His drawing her heart back. Originally planning to study law, she's thankful for how God used Twist to help her discover her passion for teaching. Now she dreams of starting a Christian school. 
Jocelyn, reserved and somewhat aloof when she started serving at Twist, has become an excellent teacher; she's matured greatly and serves enthusiastically.
Last weekend in San Luis Potosí (about 6 hours north). This church began a Twist club in March, so we did a training seminar for children's workers/parents, spent a morning at Twist (below), facilitated an outreach in a community where they're looking to open another Twist, and Xau preached at the three services on Sunday.  We did make it into a mini-getaway and the kids loved the AirBnB. 


Outreach at the "canchas" (courts)
Finally, we'd ask specifically for prayer for Kai.  He was diagnosed early this year with mouth-breathing. The next step is to have a sleep study done to evaluate apnea.  Most probably he'll need to have a tonsillectomy-adenoidectomy.  Costs for these procedures at the treating private physician's are outrageous so we're looking at other options. If you'd like to give specifically towards this, please let us know.
Homeschooling is going better! We've finally adapted more to the new setup :) 

 Other giving opportunities include:
- Airfare for a Twist leader attending To the Great Commission training in Guatemala
- Other various healthcare costs
- Staff and intern fund
- Van for outreaches and Twist 
- US travel fund

Thanks again so much for reading and being there for us. We are blessed.

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...
