THE YOUTH ARE HERE!!!
It is amazing how time goes so quickly. Summer is no longer “just around the corner”. Youth from Canada and the United States come from different provinces and states to an unfamiliar land, a different culture with an unknown language to share what they know to be true. Sharing the simple but profound message that Jesus is real and if you believe in Him you will be saved (eternally destiny with Jesus).
Summer 2008 Interns-Alex,David and Sarah
Staff, summer interns and volunteers have been bustling around the Tijuana Outreach Center preparing for those that will come to take part in the summer Evangelistic Outreaches. Our groups may have decreased due to the negative publicity in the Tijuana area, but those that are coming are committed to do their part in reaching out to the Mexican people with the message of hope.
We are prepared for a busy yet fulfilling summer. Rebekah has exams to finish up before she can join us with the summer activities. She will lay down her favorite position of teaching the children from Grace Children’s Home (YUGO’s orphanage) how to swim so she can join teams where needed as a translator. Learning the language has been a tremendous blessing for her and the many others that take advantage of her talent.
This is a busy summer! We have just begun and already there is a flurry of activities all around us. Recently we attended the wedding of some of our dear friends Isabel and Jose Luis. I shared their story months back on how many years ago Isabel captured the heart of Jose Luis by using a potion conjured up by a local witch. Both lived in torment as they struggled with their relationship. This pain drove them into the arms of a Jesus that loved them just as they were. God has captured the hearts of both Jose Luis and Isabel and now they have joined together as husband and wife with willing hearts to share the news of God’s grace and love to others.
Rebekah and I will return to Canada July 21-August 13. Rod will join us for one week in the middle of these three weeks. We are excited to have the opportunity to meet our newest grand daughter Madyson Mae. On the other hand, please keep us in prayer as we just recently found out my mom has breast cancer. It will be a great blessing to be with my mom and our family as we go through this ordeal together.
