Closing Program – Jesús MarÃa (a few pics)
We had a good closing program in Jesús MarÃa. Quite a few people, lots of smiles and laughs! Here are a few pictures. I’ll post some higher resolution versions later.
The Next 14 Days
The next 14 days are actually the days leading up to (and including) Resurrection Sunday on the 5th of April. As we remember the life that Jesus brought to us, we’ll be sharing that life with people in our communities!
This week is the last week of classes (for this semester) in the community centres. My last keyboard class is on Tuesday.
In the middle of this we’re waiting to hear about the birth of a baby in Kenya, to Shari’s sister Amy and her husband Nate! Anytime in the next few hours!
Anyway, back to local events . . . next we have closing programs both in Jesús MarÃa and in Las Palmas on Wednesday and Thursday. We’re hoping for a good turnout at both events.
Our community centre motto is “Give more life to your life!” I would appreciate your prayers as I share a little about the life we have through Christ at each of the programs.
On Saturday we head to the airport to pick up a team coming from the USA! They will be serving with us for a week.
Teams like this one give us a special opportunity to connect with more and different people in the community. This time around, we’ll be doing soccer outreach, and once again we’ll be providing wheelchairs to people who are in special need.
And that’s not all – if I have a chance I can tell you more later!
This month I’ve been teaching the Sunday School class for the older youth at the church in Jesús MarÃa. We would appreciate your prayers as we decide what this class will look like in the months ahead.
And yes, Resurrection Sunday is a very special one! We’re still working out the details, but it looks like it will be a outdoor sunrise service with a special focus on worship and thanksgiving!
In short, there are some very important things happening over the next 14 days! May God use us all to share His Word and His Life here in Mexico City!

5 Years of Memories at Sendero de Vida JM (PICTURES!)
Yesterday we celebrated our five year anniversary as a church in Jesús MarÃa. Before (and actually during) the service, I gathered photos from the last five years, mostly ones that I took along with photos from Shari, Tina, and Rod. We played the PowerPoint after the service, while we enjoyed chicken and mole. 🙂
And yes, the presentation includes photos all the way from the very first service we had in 2010 to yesterday’s service, all in (more or less!) chronological order.
So if you want to see what the past five years looked like, feel free to watch! It’s probably more for those who actually know a lot of the people – it’s over seventeen minutes, and, if I remember correctly, about three or four hundred photos!
Plus you’ll have to play your own music in the background – there’s no sound.
But for those of us who really have an interest, it is amazing to see what has happened and who has been a part of the history of the church – Iglesia BÃblica Sendero de Vida Jesús MarÃa (Path of Life Bible Church Jesús MarÃa). So go ahead, crank up your music and watch – go full screen for a better view – and praise the Lord with us!
Ixtapaluca: Present!
I found this gem of an old photo at a restaurant that we visited last the weekend.
Here’s a closer view of one portion:
Ok, I may have edited it a bit. Here’s another close-up, unedited.
The picture shows representatives from towns all around the area. Of course, this was long before Ixtapaluca became a part of Mexico City.
