What a pleasure to sit down and write to you! I pray this newsletter finds well and in full swing looking forward to the festival season of the year. A season of special gatherings between family and friends. What a joy for the abundance of life we have in Christ to celebrate just another one of His birthdays!
November has been a wonderful busy month. With a few rainfalls in this desert-mountainous part of Mexico. Leading to over 96% of all the houses in town to leak. It has been a wonderful time being a man at work, fixing the roof tops and painting.
Ministry News
God has been so faithful in everything we have been involved in. We have enjoyed great success in our football (Soccer) ministry, holding the top score in our assigned group of teams. The players have been so encouraged, witnessing the fruits of their physical and spiritual training; while up holding their faith in God!
Delicias
The outreach ministry in Delicias is springing in a new force. For the past 2 weeks I have been collecting clothes from friends and church members to be delivered to the villagers as it gets windy and freezing! Next week, we will be delivering them, with a planed Bible film festival and teaching.
In the October newsletter I reported about Monica Lucero a 12 year old who loves to read the bible. Several months ago, the young girl was diagnosed with a very risky heart condition. Prompting the doctors to request that Monica goes under a surgeon’s knife in order to relieve the condition. The cost of the heart operation was 460,000 Mexican pesos, an amount close to $40,000! As villagers, the young girl’s parents could not even afford 10% of the cost! They decided to pray!
Upon hearing the incident, we have been praying for Monica since, believing God for her health. Last week as I went to the village, the damsel gave a testimony of God’s faithfulness in her life. She said, “God has healed me!” Having checked with the doctors, there won’t be any need of surgery anymore! Praise God!
Prayer
Thank you so much for your continual prayers and support for what is taking place here. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that all of this is happening because of a dedicated number of people like you, praying!
Please continue to pray for;
- Health (as it gets cold, people are more vulnerable to the influenza virus )
-God’s faithfulness to supply all our needs as we serve him
-Wisdom to reach out to the unreached, to win their souls for Jesus!
May God bless you richly during the season! At this super busy time it’s all so easy to get wrapped up just like another present in all the rush around us and forget to spend time thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. I pray God’s faithfulness will shine on you during the season, as you delight yourself in Christ the King.
Blessings and Love
Donald
