Groups in Ministry-May 2008

The cool night air could be felt in the innermost parts of my bones. The call had come and I was on my way to find and lead Pastor David to the place where the Emmanual C.R.C. youth from Langley, B.C were housed. As I led the pastor down the dark back roads an excitement could be felt deep within for the ministry this group would take part in. This is the third year in a row this group have brought their youth to come Emmanual C.R.C youth from Langley, B.C.along side local pastors and our missionaries to reach out to the Mexican people. Thank you Emmanual C.R.C. for your hearts to serve and share the love of Jesus.


The Langley group

A group of thirteen led by Rob & Michelle Campbell from Three Hills, Alberta did a building project in Mexicali. One of our Canadian board members, Clarence Johnson from Sherwood Park, Alberta came to encourage us and attend a managers meeting with other YUGO leadership. Don and Judy Kropp, from Sherwood Park, Alberta will join us for two weeks working on the needs of El Faro. Marilyn Leff from Toronto, Ontario will join us in El Faro after representing the Light of Messiah Ministries at Missions Expo in California. 100 youth from Alberta came to take part in our Mexicali Evangelistic Outreaches. Chuck & Donna Roberts from Red Deer, Alberta came to volunteer at the Evangelistic Outreaches in Mexicali. It is exciting to see how God drawing Canadians to join in ministry here in Mexico.

Easter was celebrated with even more Canadians. My brother Jack, his wife Susan and their three children, Jennifer, Melissa and Luke came to spend Easter with Rebekah and I as well as give blankets to a local orphanage (made by Rita and friend of my moms in Arizona) while Rod directed the Evangelistic Outreaches in Mexicali. It had been many years since we celebrated Easter with family. What a blessing to have family visiting us here in Mexico. Over 200 Mexican people that accepted Jesus into their hearts at the Easter/Spring Evangelistic outreaches.
