We met Alex and Liz.

Alex, Liz and Bethany

Do you recognize this family?  If you’re from the First Evangelical Free Church in Calgary, you just might.  They visited the church about a year ago.  Last week, they were at our church service here in Mexico.  How cool is that?

Alex and Liz are a Mexican couple from Mexico City.  They are preparing to go to Turkey with the Latin American mission agency FAM (Mexico’s branch).  They came to share a little about Turkey, Islam, and what they’re looking forward to about serving on the other side of the planet.

It was great to finally meet them!  They actually studied for a year in Canada (BC) but we never had the chance to connect while they were there.  They’re a great family – I wish we had had more time.

I admit, there’s one thing I just don’t like about Alex and Liz.  I don’t like the fact that there aren’t more families like them.  There should be, and by God’s grace there will be.

I know that this family would appreciate your prayers as they prepare, raise funds, and look forward to their time in Turkey.  They face incredible challenges – they need prayer!  Please also pray that God would continue to raise godly individuals and families and teams that can bring the Gospel to the world.
