Make plans and watch God change them! This has been our motto since coming to Mexico. This summer as Rod continues to direct the Evangelistic Outreaches it had been our desire for me to back out of a key position with evangelistic outreaches to have more time to care for the things at home and other areas of ministry. Those that are moms of teens will understand without question. God had another plan though!
Being short staffed this summer left a position that was in need of filling. I have found my niche! It is in teaching the crafts and leading prayer with Women’s Ministry and the Interpreters meetings. Daily we huddle around and pray for the needs of the groups and are in awe in hearing how God is working through the team members and allowing them to bring hope and His love to a lost and hurting people.
Haley, Rebekah and Bryce
Rebekah is also having a fun summer. School ended with a luncheon and fashion show modeling the clothing the students made though out the year. Rebekah has two friends coming from two different countries to visit this summer. Haley came to visit and join us in ministry from Kenya. She practiced her Spanish with a team from San Jose. Haley has invited Rebekah to join her and her family in ministry in Africa for a couple weeks. Keep that in your prayers! Bryce comes to us from Canada. This is Bryce’s third summer in a row visiting and joining us in ministry. He is leaning towards being a summer intern for next year. Rebekah, Bryce and Haley have been great assets to the teams they served with so far this summer.
Eight were baptised in the ocean (Calvary Chapel Rosarito)
Every day is a special day during the summer months. After the Sunday shopping Jan (volunteer and friend) and I were able to attend a baptism at the beach with our home church Calvary Chapel. Eight new believers choose to make a public declaration of their new faith in Jesus. It was awesome! The summer has been filled with great beginnings. We have already attended two weddings, helped organize a wedding shower, attended an ordination (Tom Maier YUGO missionary), set up a farewell gathering for a missionary family leaving the field (the Berry family) and the summer has just begun.
