Three weeks ago, we sent out letters to our friends and families telling them about the missions trip we're planning in August and asking for prayer and financial support. God has truly blessed us and we've gotten a great response already! To date, $1,780 has been generously given to help get us on our way! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! We are believing for a total of around $3700 from these letters. Thanks to everyone who gave! You have a claim to the great and mighty things God has for us to do in Mexico!
I just received a newsletter from Erin, who is our contact in Mexico and is a full-time missionary there. God is doing amazing things there, and I want to share a piece of Erin's newsletter with you.
"As I have informed y'all, our church is going through a revamping of its infrastructure. This process takes time, but the end result will produce disciples of Christ and not just church-goers. We have five groups now that meet in various parts of the city, and we hope to double them at the end of 1 year (we are in our 3rd month)...We are seeing people come to Christ, people being delivered and healed. These are people that would have never come to a church building. They are finding a relationship with Christ in an intimate setting of about 10-15 people in someone's home...I praise God for the growth I see in my own group of youth. The light in their eyes is priceless when they are actively serving in their relationships with God."
Please continue to pray with us for the body of Christ in Guanajuato, Mexico and that God would continue to have His hand upon Erin and those working to further the gospel. We are so excited to be part of what God is doing there!
