A Merry Christmas-Dec 2019

Jesus was born as any other newborn: A tiny, crying, baby. After birth, Jesus was wrapped in strips of cloth and placed in a manger filled with fresh straw. Jesus’ birth was also different from any other newborn because He brought the GREATEST GIFT ever given to mankind: Eternal Life.




Have I mentioned the greatest gift I received in 2019? The greatest gift I received this year was marrying Francisco, my best friend and partner in ministry. Together, we are working side-by-side, serving the lost and broken in Mexico, for as long as God would have us. It has also been a wonderful year serving side by side with our outstanding servant leaders of Celebrate Recovery.




One of our greatest memories in ministry this year is when Jeanette shared her testimony at a Celebrate Recovery monthly meal night. In addition to Jeanette sharing her testimony, what made that Celebrate Recovery monthly meal night so special was that Jeanette brought with her many men and women from the local rehab center where she works as a counselor. Little did Jeanette know how the Holy Spirit would use her powerful testimony of God’s love and forgiveness to give 6 of her guests the opportunity to receive the GREATEST GIFT ever offered to them. The greatest gift ever offered them is eternal life in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Francisco and I pray that your Christmas be filled with the joy and peace of Christ’s love as you gather together with family and friends to celebrate His birth.
The GREATEST GIFT of all
Was never placed beneath a tree
But lay within a manger
Beneath a star for all to see

Thank you for partnering with us in ministry. Together we are making a difference in Mexico. Thank you for your prayers and generosity. Your prayers and generosity allow our Recovery Ministry team to offer others the GREATEST GIFT any person will ever receive.

Feliz Navidad,

Cheryl & Francisco
