Patient Waiting

 “Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.” - ‭‭James‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ 

“Wait. Patiently.” This has been God’s Word to me. “And enjoy this season.” He is so good at ministering His peace to us, even in the unknowns. 

March praises: 

- Liam turned 10 years old! 🥳

- We continue to see God’s hand building Crece church and Twist. 🔨

- Over 20 youth came to an outreach dinner, played games and received the Word. 🍽️

- Xau and I taught a children’s ministry seminar last weekend at a church we’d never worked with before. They were very grateful and excited to implement strategies. 📕

- We’re currently on a  family trip  in San Luis Potosí (6-8 hrs central north-west) to celebrate with a church here in the opening of their second Twist Kids’ Club! ✂️ Even Tere, Xau’s mom joined us!




Challenges this month: 

- One of our collaborators asked for a time to step back from leadership roles for a few months. This was tough at first, but necessary for him to focus on His relationship with the Father and evaluate his calling. 🙌

- I’ve gotten braces 😬 which have been very painful as they’re using an aggressive method to accelerate the process. Persevering and waiting it out trusting that it will be worth it. 😅

- It’s been a lot going on, so Xau is catching up on rest. 💤

Thanks so much for reading and keeping up with us. Thank you for praying. Thank you for financially supporting. Thank you for being a friend to us. 

Bless you! And may He fill you up as we wait expectantly on Him. :)

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...

Treasure

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. - 2 Corinthians 4:7 Did anyone see that recent headline about a diver who stumbled upon nearly 50,000 bronze coins? The team also noted fragments of broken pottery.  I thought of this verse - imagining that "treasure" being held in those old earthen vessels. That's the beauty here.  Despite our fragility, God chooses to deposit in us the eternal riches of His Holy Spirit!  Praises: Renovations underway! This room had horrible moisture running through it due to inadequate roofing. Now, with proper paneling, the leakage will be eliminated. After remodeling adjustments for the adjacent room, Hector (full-time intern) will have a bedroom and this taller room will serve as our first church office! It was quite a project, but we're thankful to have a space for him to move into in the next week or two.  The beginning of September we celebrated Crece church's three ye...
