Dear Friend,
I pray this newsletter finds you well,
healthy and sound. As we wrap up 2012, thankfulness fills my heart to what God
has done this year. I pray that each one of us, no matter where we are, can
give God glory for their lives.
I have just come back from a weekend away
to Monterrey, (Mexico’s 3rd largest city) where I was invited by a
dear friend, a medical researcher at a leading university in Mexico, to lead a
youth conference and teach in two churches. (Adolfo and I preaching) My visit was marked by a surprise….
a funeral! As I spent time with the family who had lost their loved one, it
touched my heart seeing all the saddened people. Lord, what should I say? Having asked about the life of the 70 year
old Francisco, I was told he had just given his life to Christ four months
ago. I found the answer to my question
in Titus 1:2. “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before
the world began.” With this, I was able to comfort the people, and
those who had arrived with sad hearts, left with good news-the message of
Christ- hope for eternity! I am encouraged to know that even at sad times, the
Gospel of truth can still be spread.
Ministry News
The village ministry is moving well with people desiring God
more and more. One lady who has captured my attention this last month is Amelia.
Amelia is the grandmother of Gustavo a young boy I mentioned in my last
newsletter that needs our prayers as he goes through cardiac complications.
Amelia never went to school and through the years she has battled with reading.
But thank God she can hear the Gospel and act it out! Ever since she started
coming to church, God has transformed her life as she yields to serve others
with passion, especially in the area of hospitality. She is a light to her
family too, her mother has taken on cleaning the church each week before the
services, and recently her younger son just said yes to Christ! Please pray she
will continue to be an example to all the villagers. ( L to R, 1. Amelia standing. 2.Warm clothes for the villagers)
New Ministry: Hospital Evangelism
I have just finished holding talks with two families that
will be helping with our new hospital ministry. Where once a month we will be
giving out boxes of food and drinks, to those who’s loved ones are in the
hospital, after sharing the Gospel of Christ with them. Thank God there is already a lined up
passionate team for the mission. (New team helpers, Tedeo and Hector.)
Construction
Project
Some of you may already be aware we are starting
a construction project this month. We will be building a missionary house that
will be a home base for Becky and I after getting married in April next year,
as we minister through the north central region of Mexico. The plans are
already in place and I am set to hold the last key meeting with the master
builder this week before the project begins. I am the project manager, please
pray that God will guide us with all the wisdom needed as the building goes on,
for the resources and funds needed to be available and that we remain faithful
in spreading the gospel through this time. (Project photos coming soon)

you so much for your prayers for Gustavo, his health has been improving
greatly, but he’s still awaiting results from the hospital. Please continue to
pray for this young boy, may we see God at work through this situation. (The Village Team)
Thank you so much
I am very grateful for all your prayers and support. 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 you play
a great part in it all and you are a partaker of the grace that the Lord has
bestowed on my life. I am so thankful to have a friend like you and I could not
be where I am now without you.
Please continue to pray
1-
For God’s wisdom and understanding
as we continue to preach the gospel and disciple others. May we always point
people to the one true eternal hope.
2-
Pray for the availability of
resources, finances and much needed help with the Missionary House
construction.
3-
Pray that God would continue to be
our strength and peace as we head into new ministry ventures and through the
challenges these may bring. May we always have a meek and humble heart, always
ready to hear God, and walk in righteousness. (Gustavo and I on the right)
Much love and blessings,
