We are so thankful for the 11 people who were baptized this past Sunday at Path of Life Bible Church in Jesús MarÃa! This is a big step, and it’s amazing what God has done!
We were unable to be there, but have been rejoicing as we hear the news and see the pictures. God is working – Rejoice with us! 🙂
These have been eventful days! Here are the most popular posts from Finding direction over the past 90 days, in chronological order, with the most popular of all in bold.
Ah, the memories. Here’s another decade-old picture for you. Shari and I were visiting Cuernavaca 10 years ago this month, preparing for our eventual move to Mexico. Here we are at the Cascada Salto de San Antón.
Lots of pictures, among other things, in this edition of tweets from the past two weeks . . .
It’s been a crazy few weeks – but good crazy!
In a nutshell the community was served, new contacts were made, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached – exciting!
Most of our activities centred around the neighbourhoods of Jesús MarÃa and Las Palmas. There were soccer tournaments and sports camps. Craft classes and English classes. Apple pies and roasted cactus. Wheelchairs and shoe laces. Tiling and painting. Verse memorizing and song learning. Going for wings and stopping for tacos. The seniors’ shelter and the rehab centre. Services and Sunday Schools.
I hope some of those who came to help will come back again!
Please pray for those who heard the Gospel – that they would come to Christ and that His Spirit would do amazing things in their lives. Please pray that the momentum would continue as we head into the fall.
Community centre classes will start up again in September, and there is already a considerable amount of interest. Please pray that the Lord would bring many of these people back to hear His Word. We’re excited about what God may do in the future!
Let’s keep asking God that He would be glorified!
Yesterday we went back to the senior’s shelter with the interns and the team (from New Jersey) that’s here this week. You can see a handful of pictures below of today’s activities.
The home is only a few minutes from our house, inside a brick factory. A family there has taken in seniors (mostly – some younger) who have been abandoned and/or abused.
The theme this summer has been the fruit of the Spirit, so Mayra shared the final set today, with a clear presentation of the Gospel. Then Rod led some music.
After that we cooked and served breakfast for them (pancakes – just like a Stampede breakfast!).
Then we had some time to hang out, and do a craft based on the theme.
We have a doctor on the team with us, so she went around taking people’s blood pressure while I translated. There’s one man who is really struggling with some health issues right now – please pray that he will be able to get some help at the hospital soon.
It is always a tremendous blessing to visit. We’ve enjoyed helping out in a few ways, and have a few schemes up our sleeves for the future. One of our interns noticed that some of the residents needed new shoe laces, so she went and got some nice colourful ones to share. How fun is that?
Here are a few pictures from the day. I’ll post some larger versions next time I update our Photo Gallery.
