"Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory though
Jesus Christ out Lord!"
1 Corinthians 15:57
This past month and a half has really been full of events and special ministry opportunities. Pictured above is a group of pastors, church leaders and youth who spent a day in the park together team building and planning for the upcoming camp this summer, Radical. It was a fun day to reconnect with lots of people I met last summer at camp and to be encouraged for this summer. This event took place in Guadalajara.
Our youth have been busy getting ready for camp too. Every Sunday after church they sell yummy treats in the park to raise funds for camp. Some of the things we have sold are bean tacos, rice with milk and a spicy popsicle. They have raised enough for all those going from our church to save their spot and a few have raised all they need. If you would like to sponsor a camper please let me know by emailing me at the address below. It is about $85 for each camper, the price will go up in June. Our bus from Puerto Vallarta is already full!! Praise the Lord!
Another encouraging time this past month was when two of the guys, Dean Ressler and Fransisco De Sosa, from our home office came to visit us. Fransisco shared the gospel with the kids at AWANA, Dean preached, we ate delicious sea food and spend time talking with them about our ministries and our goals for the future. What a blessing it is to have a team of Godly men who pray for, encourage and visit us. God is good!!
Last week a group of 8 youth and 3 leaders came down from Washington during their Spring Break to love on the people in La Misión. During the morning they did several work projects; painting, building a fence and making swings for the kids in the park. Every time I pass the park these swings are full and there are more little ones waiting for their turn. One day a group of us handed out over 50 cups of free coffee and shirts to the bus drivers in the neighborhood. Their response was amazing.
In the afternoon we prepared for a 3 day VBS. Once again God shocked us with the number of children we were able to reach. Our first night there were 90!! Over the 3 days we shared God's love with 138 kids! To say we were tired is an understatement. These youth worked so hard and ministered so well to the people here, they left a lasting example of Godly service for all of us. Thank you Southside youth and leaders!
Please continue to pray for my discipleship ladies and youth, a few of them will be baptized on the 28th! Pray for the visits and that these families will come to know Christ as their
Savior.
Update on Lucy: She is back to attending church activities, this week she went with me to visit and did an awesome job!! Praise the Lord for her healing.
Update on Daniela: She is still living in another town with her mom. Sad to see her go, praying that she remembers the verses we taught her and that God loves her.
Praise the Lord for He is good!
Blessings,
