We didn’t see it, but there was quite the show over Mexico City a couple of nights ago. Just click the pic.twitter link below (or the image) to see the video:

Hannah is already about 3/4 through her time in Colombia! Today, tomorrow and Monday – and then Monday night they leave for Canada. They’ll be home on Tuesday.
So keep praying for Hannah and the team – especially for energy for the last bit of their trip, and that the Holy Spirit would use them in the lives of those they meet!
This past week the women from the Las Palmas church hosted another women’s breakfast! About half of the women were first time guests to any of our church events, so brand new friends. About 30 women all together.
So please pray for these women! They had a craft time, and our friend Viri gave a clear presentation of the gospel.
Pray for our service this Sunday. We were unable to meet at our normal location again – they’re having a “Fiesta Expo”. I should have told them that the biggest fiesta of all is the Church on a Sunday morning, celebrating the Resurrected Lord! 😀
But anyway, we’re continuing our marvellous series called “Words” in which we’re studying words related to salvation. There’s so much to learn about salvation! And I’ll be preaching as we continue our odyssey through the book of Daniel. Please pray that God will work in people’s hearts.
Pray also for our children’s Sunday school. They’ve been talking about the Law of Moses and the Ten Commandments, as you can see here:
This Sunday our friend Sandra will be teaching them about the Tabernacle.
Actually, some intense topics this weekend! As usual, we really need the Spirit to work through us (and often in spite of us!).
Tonight (working backwards here) we continue our Discovering Life (Descubriendo la Vida) study (we’ve been learning about the attributes of God). And next Saturday we start our next institute course – a 60 hour Old Testament Survey, which will be going every two or three weeks or so until the end of June.
So — just a few little notes about what’s been happening here! Thanks for your prayers!
Ten years ago today, Shari was serving breakfast to the community affected by the Chalco flood.
It was February 2010 when the sewage canal burst open, pouring water into the valley of Chalco. The water kept pouring out day after day, filling the lower floor of people’s homes, destroying appliances, books, and clothes.
With our brothers and sisters from the church in Santa Bárbara, we began serving breakfast each morning at the edge of the flood, which was only 5 minutes from our home. We also provided water and some other essentials for the community at this time.
So – today’s photo – serving breakfast! Shari is on the right.
This was a few metres from the edge of the flood. Here’s an idea of what it looked like:
I took a lot of video/photos during this time. Some of that footage ended up in in the documentary series “Trashopolis”, which at the moment can be watched on Youtube – here it is: Trashopolis S02 E01: Mexico
Well, if they’re on schedule, the Prairie Christian Academy team has just landed in Bogotá, Colombia!
If you received our recent newsletter (and if you haven’t, you should soon, if you’re on our Support Team), you know that Hannah is part of a team of women who are on a missions trip to Colombia. They will be involved mostly in children’s ministry, especially in poorer areas.
We would appreciate your prayers for Hannah and her team mates! They’ve had a long trip, and after a rest tonight they’ll hit the ground running tomorrow (Saturday). They leave Colombia on the 17th, arriving back home on the 18th.
Interestingly enough, Bogotá is almost 400 metres higher than Ixtapaluca, at 2640! So even though it’s further south than we are, it’s actually slightly cooler at this time of year (down to 6℃ / 43℉ tonight). But that’s better than Three Hills at -9℃! So I’m sure they’ll be enjoying the climate change.
