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.

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...
