How wonderful it is to sit down and write to you. I am always filled with gratitude of friends like you. Friends that are standing with me in ministry. Friends that inspire encourage and pray for me. I am so thankful for the wonderful connection we have through God. As we rejoice and walk in love and obedience with our heavenly Dad.
Talking about friendship, it was such a pleasure at the beginning of last month to receive a wonderful lovely friend from England, Mel Whittle. Mel is an English teacher in England, and has been very much involved in missions for years. Having served in mission trips to various parts of Europe, Africa and spending a year in South America. Mel’s presence was very much a blessing to the team in San Pedro and the villages. She’s the first ever English person to Visit Delicias. One of the ladies in the church said, “We have seen Americans, a Chinese brother you brought last year, sister Mel and you brother ‘Donaldo the ‘Afrospanglish,’ who else are you going to bring us next?” I thought “Perhaps a Turkish!”
Ministry News
The village ministry is moving forward fruitfully. We have had a number of children services which have been well packed with over 85% of the all children in Delicias and many adults. Showing Christian films, teaching and art and craft activities which the people loved so much. At the same time using every opportunity to communicate Christ to them and teaching them the way to eternal life.
During Mel’s visit, she was able to share in a number of places that we visited. In Reynosa, a villager were we run a Cell group, God did just another marvelous thing as a young girl named Tracey was healed of “hypothyroidism” (a condition that is caused by the improper functioning of the thyroid gland causing a swell in the neck and other complications.) After the cell group meeting, Mel and I prayed for Tracey as she was to go through tests with doctors. Two weeks later, Tracey reported complete health confirmed by the doctors. Glory to God!
Upcoming Plans
The construction team is already in place in San Pedro. The old church building is down and behold the new one comes. For some time now the preparation for the new church building has been going. The purpose for the new building will be to accommodate the needs of the people in San Pedro and serve the community better.
Please pray for the much needed help needed in all areas. That God will be glorified throughout the entire project and at the end more glory to Him.
Thankfulness
I so much appreciate you dear friend. For your friendship, encouragement, support and prayers for me and for all of us down here in Mexico. No matter what happens, with God on our side and the wonderful friends around us, we can do all things through Christ. Last month I sent out a prayer request for Elizabeth Tolman, I want to report that her health has improved greatly and she has gained strength. I got to see her recently, and it was a miracle at work acknowledged by her doctors! Thank you so much for joining us in prayer, I so much appreciate you.
Prayer Request
Please continue to pray for:
1. Wisdom- always the most needed in all things to make both big and small designs that affect both ministry and personal life.
2. That we will have all sufficiency in all things to be a blessing to those around us
3. Last but not least, security. Praying God’s protection despite the dangerous time Mexico is facing right now.
May the Goodness of the Lord keep you in perfect peace, having trusted Him in all things, He is the only one able to do “exceedingly abundantly beyond that you have ever dare to ask or think” Ephesians 3:20.
Much love and blessings
