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 3rd to 2nd 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
potosÃ, 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
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.
Please
Continue to Pray
1-
For God’s wisdom. 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 better.
2- Pray for the availability of resources, finances and much needed help. “For this month’s special request,
bibles for the village families.” (For information on how you can
get involved by giving to a specific project, please get in touch)
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
Donald
