Happy October! How wonderful it is that God’s goodness has enabled us to live in a promise of longevity.
It’s breathing taking at times when I wake up in the wee hours and thank God that I am alive. This always brings encouragement, knowing that we are not just living to get by, but with Emanuel.
Ministry news
September; the mish mash in town! That was the expression on people’s faces down town San Pedro. As they saw Jason-USA, Stephen-Canada, Marcela-Mexico, Ray-China and Donaldo “the Afrospanglish”-Uganda!
Ray’s time in San Pedro at the beginning of last month was such a blessing. There are 2 newly launched Chinese restaurants nearby San Pedro. The operators barely speak any Spanish. Having an aching heart for people, I have always desired to share Christ with them but the language being a Great Wall of China!
While I came back from the US, I bought 2 Chinese bibles, and with Ray we shared Jesus with them.
The results are phenomenal, as I get invitations to go back and have a relationship with the people. Although they speak little Spanish, they appreciate friendship practices that can help in their businesses.
It’s always thrilling to think of how God brings people from different places for the Good pleasure of His will.
Delicias-(from Ray’s Perspective)
Donald brought me to Delicias, a 300 people village in the middle of nowhere (the desert), 3 hours (1 hour bus ride, 2 hours walking) from San Pedro. We stayed there for 2 days, brought with us some food and clothes, and more importantly the love of God!
In the village not everyone is literate; it was exciting to see a group of new Christians reading the Love Letter from God to each other.
Poverty was another astonishing reality in the village. Sanitation in some houses does not exist.

Football (soccer) Ministry
Our Soccer team ministry is also taking on a new level! We have just started a new season with high expectations. Last week we gained a lead in the league, 3 to 1!
We have 6 players living with us at the property. It’s a delight as we nature them into the word of Love, after their initial training.
Future plans
Dear Friend, I appreciate you so much for your support and prayers.
October is marking some changes in my life. I will start working on the “Mission Possible” book! Celebrate 8 years of my dedication to serve God! Celebrate 2 years at the mission field! And lastly, 25 years young!
Prayer
-Please keep praying for the vitally needed wisdom as I write.
- That I will find favor in the eyes of the Mexican government, as I get my residence visa sorted.
-And lastly but not least, safety!
May God with you, be an encouragement through this October. I love you and appreciate you so much.
Blessings and Love
Donald
