July Newsletter

Dear friend,

^”Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,  For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.”(Phil 1:2-5)

 This month has gone by without much notice indeed, as we entered in with a lot planned and really just letting God lead us in all areas as we went on to serve him and with Him!

The village ministry is going very strong on every side. New people are coming to the full comprehension of the word of God ever. We have also been giving family bible studies since we started to distribute bibles to families. Just sitting down with a family and teach them what God’s word says about all aspects of life and any questions they may have. This has generated a new bond in the lives of many, as they learn how to search and apply the living word for themselves.

Spreading the word

Thank you so much for your prayers, we had such a wonderful conference in San Luis potosi with the indignant tribe I mentioned in my last newsletter. As we got there, people’s hearts where so hungry to hear about the Lord. We held full 4 days conferences and visited 2 main tribal villages. The people were so lovely and we were given great hospitality. What struck me most is the simple kind of way they live still in jungle life of growing their own food, not having such things that most of us consider very basic like electricity and developed water systems. Both of the villages we visited in the mountains, they have to depend on rain for their water supply year after year! An 83 year old wonderful man who hosted us said in his entire life he has never gone without water. It touched my heart deeply as I was reminded of God’s grace and how He calls us to be faithful in every little thing. I am so thankful, my uttermost and only desire is to live for His Glory!

Being so touched after the trip, I came back with a Mission Possible mind-set for us here in San pedro to send out a team on a short team missions trip with a possibility of two people from the group going back out there for full-time work in 6 months time.. We now have a team of 6, one school teacher, two nurses and 3 dedicated youth from “Templo Christiano Libertad-TCL” (Christian Liberty Temple)!”

Church dedication

This coming weekend June 30th-July1st is marking the full dedication of TCL. The building project begun in the summer of 2010 and has now come to full structure, although still with some missing details, God has proved faithful time and again. We are excited as the church building is dedicated to serve the local community, not as a religious building, but as a refuge and fortress for those who are weary, hungry and thirsty for a new life in Christ. May they be filled! To God be the glory!

Mexican presidential elections

This coming weekend is also marking the end of the Mexican president Felipe Calderon since 2006. It is in his reign (according to the media) that over 55,000 Mexicans have lost their lives due to the drug war force. Many people are hurt by this, and others praise him for standing up to the drug lords in his country. But whatever the view, you and I know NOTHING ever happens without the almighty God knowing! Please join the Meixcvan people in prayer as they elect their next leader wisely; believing with them “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice” (Prov 29:2a)

Please Continue to Pray

1-    For God’s wisdom for us. May He lead and guide us as we venture into all the ministries He is allowing us to spear head, and be part of. May He give us the right words as we encourage those who want to serve Him.

    2- Pray for the availability of resources, finances and much needed help. (For information on how you can get involved by giving to a specific project, please get in touch)

   3-   Lastly, please pray for the Mexican elections, and as the people chose their next leader. “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful!”

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 and I am convinced 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.

From a humble and thankful heart,

Much blessings and love

Donald

June Newsletter 2012

Dear Friend,

How great and awesome it is sitting down writing to you! Whenever I sit down to write this newsletter, I pray and ask God to guide me through, which makes it alive as I can imagine seeing beautiful faces as if I am right there talking to each one of them. Different locations come into my mind too, settings, and even what kind of day it might be. My day is bright, sunny and cool,  having rays of sunshine penetrating through the curtains, with the transition into this years summer.  This reminds me that no matter how harsh the seasons in our lives can be, God will always have His son in the midst of it all and the end will be glorious as we trust Him.

 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son”

(Gal 4:4)

Ministry news

The ministry in the villages is flourishing by God’s grace on every side. At the beginning of this year I was very much praying for fellow workers and those who will just dedicate themselves to serving God in the far off mountainous villages. Thank you for your prayers, these prayers are being answered even before mid year! Having started with Myrna this year, there are a series of other people with a true servant’s heart who are willing to travel as much as 3 hours each week to come and minister to the people in the villages. As we all minister to the people with different flavors, I am very  encouraged to see people’s lives being impacted and changed. Most recently, we had a mother’s and children’s day celebration meeting. Where many moms turned up with their children desiring to know what the bible teaches about motherhood. Besides ministering to the people’s needs both spiritually and physically, 7 have said yes to Jesus this past month!!

Micro-finance Project.

Over the past year we have helped eleven families in the villages to harness their traditional textile making skills such as embroidery, knitting and weaving. We initially supplied them with some raw materials to produce doilies and table mats for sale in the markets and shops of San Pedro. The ladies are now teaching the younger woman and we are happy to report early sales of their wares have been very encouraging. Forming the DEA(Dios es Amor=God is Love) project has helped to supplement the family income of the participants In this case living on less than $5 a day for an average family. One lady and her family have been struggling financially for some time. As a result, they had resorted on eating only Nopal leaves of a cactus plant. As we give her a bundle of threads, she is able to make crafts. With the income from the sales of her products, she has been able to feed her family better. Other benefits include using the money to buy medicine and other childcare basics such as baby diapers and children's shoes- protecting them from potential health risks.(If you wonder how you can be part of this project, please do get in touch.)

Soccer Team

The soccer team El calor de San Pedro “A Dios sea la Gloria” (Glory be to God) is in Second Division! Having made its way through the 214 of the 216 professional teams undefeated and remaining invincible in all home games, we tied in the very finales to lose by one point in the Mexican professional football-third division last Saturday. However, 2 finalist teams ascend each year from 3^rd to 2^nd division! As the players shared their testimonies, the gospel is out on national media! To God be the Glory!

Spreading the Word

My travels picked up again this month as we seek to encourage, inspire and train leaders for our generation. We had a very up lifting time at the youth camp. Following was a missions trip I spearheaded into the desert mountains of Durango with 4 Mexican missionaries, 2 Japanese, a Korean and a  Vietnamese. At the end of this week I am holding a leadership conference in Monterrey, and the following week I will be heading to a small town in the valleys of San Luis potosí, with an Indian tribe group known as Nahuatl about 17 hours away from San Pedro. Please pray that God’s wisdom guide us as we hold these conferences, and as the people open up their hearts to receive Jesus!

Thank you so much

   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 enjoy this year’s summer in full confidence of the Son of God in your heart, may He always shine through you in Glory. Always knowing He whom you have invested your trust in cannot lie, but see on it that each one of His promises are fulfilled in you.

Much blessings and love
