Gifts of Service-Nov 2008

“Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good stewards of God’s various gifts of grace.” I Peter 4:10

Rod is enjoying school. He comes home on the weekends sharing biblical truths with me of God’s grace and mercy. In the book of Genesis, God choose Abraham to accomplish his purposes. God does not need us to accomplish His purposes, He chooses us to share his love, mercy and grace with those around us. We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ by serving others with the individual gifts He has given each of us.

Mike Mc Donald (YUGO missionary) continues to use his gift of teaching to serve those around him by teaching Missionary Training to our missionaries. Feel free to check out the Mc Donald’s ministry blog found on the elfarodeyugo.org or yugo.org web sites to find out what other areas of ministry Mike is involved in.

Alicia and Juan Strutton (YUGO missionaries) serve through following the calling God has placed upon their hearts to help the many babies in need in Mexico. Juan and Alicia, our newest missionaries with YUGO join us weekly in the Missionary Training sessions It is exciting to hear how God is using them to build the Babies Home. Find out more about the progress of the Babies Home by checking out their ministry blog which can also be found on the El Faro or YUGO web sites.


The Open Air Church


Pastor Romiro and his new church complete with many rooms for Sunday school, Breakfast Feeding Program and Day Care for the children

Pastor Romiros was called to serve those around him through starting a church. It began with just pews on the dirt with a couple walls up. We called it the Open Air church. Don & Judy Kropp and a group of their friends from Canada caught a vision to serve through helping build a church for Pastor Romiro. He is a man of great vision and a heart to serve those around him.

Thank you Mike for using your gift of teaching to teach us truths on how we can thrive while serving in Mexico, thank you Alicia and Juan for building a home to keep the babies in Mexico safe and well cared for, thank you Don and Judy and your group for building a church for Pastor Romiro’s congregation, thank you Pastor Romiro for caring for and shepherding the Mexican people. Thank you to each and every one of you and how you serve us with your commitment to be our partners in ministry.

Stacy and Darins wedding day

It has been a busy month filled with great blessings. We were able to spend time with our friends and partners in ministry Esther and Bernie from Alberta Canada, attend a wedding of one of our missionaries that returned to the US after six years of serving through YUGO Ministries and I was blessed to be a part of a relaxing Women’s Retreat.
