This brief video (about a minute long) features various people in Mexico City and their predictions for 2015. I would say that, considering how brief and simple it is, it does hit on a lot of common things that people are talking about.
This is just another reminder to pray for the people of Mexico City. We are concerned about many things – may we look in the right place for the answers!
Last month we went to Acuario Inbursa in Mexico City. Shari finally convinced me to put together a quick video of some of the amazing creatures we saw. Nathanael took most of the video.
Two major activities in two days in two neighbourhoods! And both a great success.
First was the soccer/fútbol tournament in Las Palmas. 22 teams, and for much of the day four games going on at the same time. Half-way through the day there was a break, and someone shared about how God saved him. And then the finals, and the awards ceremony.
Yesterday was the fourth annual Easter egg hunt in Jesús MarÃa. First, decorating cookies and dying eggs. Then a break and a presentation about Jesus’ death and resurrection. And finally, what everyone was waiting for – a mad dash to find the plastic eggs, each one with a little surprise inside!
According to Tina, there were 600 cookies decorated, about 150-200 hard boiled eggs, and 700 stuffed plastic Easter eggs!
Thanks to all the amazing people who organized and helped with and prayed for these events. Lots of new friendships were made!
Lots of excitement in the new year! Here are the most visited posts from this year so far, in chronological order. The three most popular posts, as always, in bold.
Last night thanks to our visiting team we managed to assemble a set of wheelchairs to present to new friends in Las Palmas. The assembly process may not have been completely without its ups and downs, and I won’t say that every wheel was put on the right way around (but if it did happen, it was fixed). But eventually we succeeded.
Then this morning we had a program to present the chairs. The community centre was full of the recipients and their families. Rod shared a bit about the vision of the community centre, and Mayra shared from God’s Word, and then we made sure everyone had the right size chair, making adjustments as needed.
It has been really great to meet new people, some of whom live very close to the community centre itself. And also to see interest in spiritual things.
One of the men who visited today emphasized that he was going to be reading the Bible we gave him. And the other day, a mother and a boy walked in off the street to find out what classes we had. Tina gave them a flyer about some of the summer activities, including a soccer tournament, English classes, and a children’s Bible club. “Oh look!” said the woman to the boy,”They have Bible classes!”
Well, if everyone gets that excited, we’re good to go. Apparently there have been others asking about Bible studies lately too, so – well, the answer is yes, we do those. 😉
