Rebekah and I are celebrating the return of Rod. We had a “Welcome Home” pot luck with other YUGO staff so he could reconnect and share about his journey to Canada. He shared with us his experiences of visiting with family, friends and reported back to us about the many others that expressed their interest in pursuing short term missions.
A wise man once said, "There's nothing more powerful than the heart of a volunteer".
Al & Evelyn and their dog Boots
It's so easy to get into the mindset that serving God is a chore, it's our job, our duty. The fact of the matter is that God loves a volunteer. God wants us to cheerfully volunteer our time, our energy, our abilities, our talents, all that we have. What a blessing to have Al & Evelyn Ridley from Sylvan Lake, Alberta here with Rebekah and I the last two weeks before Rod returned from Canada. Al & Evelyn came as volunteers to help with the many things that need accomplishing in El Faro. They did a tremendous job. Many thanks, Al & Evelyn for your servant hearts and valued friendship.
Don’t be surprised when I tell you, “You must all be born again.” Human life comes from human parents, but spiritual life comes from the Spirit. God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son so that whoever believes in Him may not be lost, but have eternal life. What does He gave His only son mean?
Carrying His own cross, Jesus went to to a place called The Place of The Skull, which in the Hebrew language is called Golgatha. Here they crucified Jesus. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead. He suffered great pain to show us the way to eternal life.
This message of inviting people to have a relationship with God through his son Jesus will be shared by energetic youth during the Easter/Spring Evangelistic Outreaches held in Mexicali this Easter. Many Mexican people will hear a message of truth that Jesus bled and died so we could have eternal life with Him.
