A warm greeting to you, I pray that this newsletter finds well and prospering in every way.
It’s always such a blessing to sit down and write to you. This always reminds me of the divine connection we have together as the body of Christ, and how blessed it feels to always know that a friend somewhere is praying for you. It doesn’t matter if you are in a puzzle right now, Jesus is YOUR answer.
Delicias Beauty Horse
August has been a wonderful month on my side. Starting off by my trip to Oregon, being in youth summer camps and visiting with friends who have inspired my life to serve God with a whole heart. Now being back at the mission field oh “Home sweet Home”, it feels great having spent all that time away.
Ministry
God has blessed me wherever I have been. One of my weeks in Oregon, I got to spend it at a summer camp in a small town Called Boring. At camp, being with Children all the time I felt God talking to me about the importance of children ministry. As I shared with the kids every day, I noticed a young fellow age 9. His Camp Counselor once asked him to perform in a skit. He responded and said, “I don’t do no lame skit, I have got a reputation to protect, beside that, my baby girl is in the crowed”! Upon Hearing the comment; I thought, wow now this is an American Kid! And how hard to crack-coconut headed he must be.
As the bible says love never fails, and never gives up. This is what I always have on my heart when I deal with troubled children. As we had church at the last day of camp, I saw what was beyond my imagination! This same kid being touched by the love of Christ forgot all about his reputation and baby girls as he wept like a little baby! It was such a blessing praying with him to receive Jesus in his life. Over 20 children received Christ for the first time, and many rededicated to focus on Christ in their lives. As my friend Tris puts it, “It’s time we also focus on kids, than always trying to band aid adults.”
Delicias
I have been to Delicias with my new friend Ray. Ray is a University student in England, but originally from Hong Kong. It’s good always to be an inspiration in people’s lives, but greater being inspired. Ray’s conformation of visiting Mexico this summer is a faith pillar in its self. While Mexico was being the center of the world in May for the pandemic of Swine flu, Ray received his confirmation from God that he had to go to Mexico. He shared in the villages; God’s presence in him was so overwhelming, also as none of the villagers had ever seen a Chinese.
Future plans
As some of you might be aware, I am planning to write a book about missions. I have been doing research and interviews with different people, and I will start to write on the October 15th, that’s my 25th birthday. Please pray for God’s wisdom to be available in every way. I also understand that I will need a lot of help, guidance, feedback and encouragement. If you happen to have a great interest in reading, editing and giving feedback and would like to help, Please let me know. You can let me know by email, and I will add you to the readers and editors list.
Prayer
Thank you so much for your prayer and support. I really appreciate you. Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, I am always reminded that with the prayers of a faithful friend, God knows my tomorrow more than I know my yesterday!
Please keep praying for:
1-Wisdom to reach out to the mountainous people
2-Protection and safety
3-Availability of help and resources to advance the kingdom
May the Lord bless you richly! May you be fruitful during the entire month of September.
Blessings and Love
Donald
