How wonderful it is going through this year’s seasons. As we transcend through the fall/autumn to winter, it give me great joy of always looking out for God’s best in and out of every season. The verse “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” (Psalm 34:8) has flooded my mind in recent days up to now.
October has been another great month. Like each October, this is the month I have always made the biggest decisions in my life. I am marking 4 full years since my arrival in full-time missions in Mexico, 10 years, since a 16year old Donald made the decision that he would serve God all his life, and it just turns out to be the month I clock another year on my biological time. On the 15th I turned 27 years young! I am not sure if I should say old, but to borrow an English saying; I still feel like a “Spring Chicken,” I only wonder how a “Winter Chicken” feels like!?
Ministry NewsThe village ministries are going very well and taking on new heights. In last month’s newsletter I mentioned a new church launch in a village known as “Nueva Candelaria.” The planting went very well and we have so far had 15 people in attendance. The church also in Delicias is experiencing growth. We have had a boost in the children’s ministry and church activities which have lead people to be drawn to the savior. This month we have had 9 people say “YES” to Christ for the first time in their lives! All Glory to God!
Salvation Story
A story that has captivated my heart, and brings the joy deep down within me to surface, is that of a little girl who was father/motherless, but now enjoys the right and privilege of calling someone "Mama." This is Alexa’s story.
Thirteen year old Alexa, brings a smile to everyone around her. Her lovely brown eyes are inviting to discover more of who she is to everyone who speaks to her. But, her story has a terribly sad beginning.
Right before Alexa was born, her biological mother wanted to abort her. However, she was swayed by a lady in our church named Lilly, and she agreed to keep the child on the condition that right after birth the baby would be given to Lilly.
Lilly is a worship leader and a great help to the church in San Pedro.
At the time, Lilly was single and so her parents who live in the south of Mexico decided to take on the little girl into their custody. Alexa has grown up with the old couple, but as they entered their 80’s, they got concerned about Alexa’s need of strong parental support as they could no longer take care of the young girl, and so Lilly took her on this past summer. A few months ago as Lily prepared to receive Alexa, a wonderful brother helped to construct an additional bedroom on her house for Alexa.

As I talked with Lily about everything and taking on Alexa; she mentioned to me how she hadn't been prepared for the financial part of having Alexa with her at this very time. With school fees to pay, medical, and all other welfare necessities a child needs. At the property, we have all decided to step in and help Lilly with Alexa as a family and church. Lilly and Alexa live here at the property, with her other son Pedro who is 10 years old.
Please pray for Lilly and Alexa, and also how the Lord might lead you to support Alexa. It gives me great joy, and extends my already extravagant smile, as I look at Alexa. A young innocent child who was initially denied the right to live, rejected and abandoned, but with God’s loving care is enjoying the warmly love from a mother’s heart! How lovely is that!? (Above is Alexa’s photo, during a youth camp recently.)Thank you so much
I am very grateful for all your prayers and support that you offer me. I am always encouraged to hear from you and to know how I can also pray for you. Looking at every way I am a blessing to the people around me and the lives that are touched and changed by the powerful loving grace of Jesus, I know and I am convinced you play a great part in it all and you are partaker of the Grace that the Lord has bestowed on my life. I am so thankful to have a friend like you.
Please continue to pray 1- For God’s wisdom to over flow in my life as I press toward the high calling and reach out to others every single day. May He lead and guide me as I venture into all the ministries He is allowing me to spear head, and be part of.
2- Pray for the availability of resources, finances and much needed help.
3- Lastly, please pray for the security situation in Mexico, and as we overcome every challenge we encounter along the way. May we always have a meek and humble heart, always ready to hear God, and walk in righteousness.
Dear Friend, may you taste and experience God’s goodness as we come to the end of this year. May He fill you with his love and tender kindness, as you are encouraged to reach out to those who need him most. You are such a blessings and very much appreciated.
Much love and blessings,
Love Is King,
Donald
