Summer Ends with Good Memories-Oct 2016


God stirs the hearts of his people here on earth to bring the Good News to a lost and broken world. Summer months brings adults, teens and children that have been chosen by God to represent Him in Mexico.  They have been CALLED to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ and bring others into His Kingdom. The Recovery Ministry is just a small part of how YUGO Ministries serves the people across Mexico.  Houses are built for the underprivileged, hungry children are fed, orphans are cared for, pastors and church leadership are taught how to share God’s Word effectively, prisoners are set free emotionally and spiritually and so much more,

Our sending church St. Albert Alliance from Canada not only came to build a house for an underprivileged family, they also encouraged Rod and I greatly. Some joined our Prison Ministry team in serving at a Graduation Ceremony for “Our Girls” in the inside that completed their Step Studies.  It was an honor to be able to serve alongside each other.

Each of us has a place doing God’s work.  Even though our teams are uniquely different, God still uses us to accomplish His purposes. God has given our Recovery Ministry team a desire to rebuild the lives of the Mexican people. We believe that Celebrate Recovery is the key to help complete this work. This requires us to be united and trained to do this work set before us. In August Rod and I and six of our Recovery Ministry leaders attended the Celebrate Recovery Summit at Saddleback Church.  God gave us a fresh vision to see lives healed from hurts, habits and hang-ups.  With this renewed vision we are mobilizing others to join us in reaching the broken.

September 3 we celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday.  I took a quick trip back to Canada for this special occasion. I was so grateful to be able to see our grand kids (who are growing so quickly), our daughters and many family and friends. The tumor in my mom's lung is growing. We covet your prayers in this situation.


Thank you for your continued prayer and financial support. We are a team and we couldn’t do what we do without you!
