June 20th meeting

Greetings from Mexico. To update you on the pastors meeting yesterday, there was 15 pastors that came and enjoyed the evening. There were some that phoned saying they had to cancelle. There is still a real spiritual battle going on here. We started with prayer and worship songs, Ana and myself started to prepare hamburgers while Deanna watched the small kids in the pool. Pastor Humberto spoke for 20 minutes or so on our bilblical responsibilities on being and working united together for God. We then stopped for hambergers and fellowship. After we were done eating we started of with prayer and a few more worship songs. Isaias took the lead as m c for the evening, it was like he did this all the time. The youth seperated and went to the play ground and there they played some games that were lead by a couple of youth leaders,Pastor Basilio's two oldest boys, they also sat and shared stories as a group. While this was going on the pastors listened to a local mexican missionary whoo spent the last 11 years in Isreal speak about the importance of Isreal to us. After that we brought the youth back to join us and asked three youth to share their testimonies of what it was like being a pastor child, we had three young women come forward to share their stories. They shared their struggles and that they were always being watched by others and if they messed up they heard about it. Yet they are willing to be and set examples for others to follow. We asked the youth leaders to come pray for them and the women came and put hands on them to. They set the next meeting for July 18th. I need to thank Jonathan, Isaias, Ana and Deanna for all their help and support. I also like to thank the family that made it possible for hamburgers last night. I thank all of you that were praying about this and your support in all this. God is working here in these communities and they are all looking at this ministry here to be the light for this valley. This property here is being used more and more by local churches for baptizal services and church gatherings. Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you. p.s. I am trying to uplaod pictures but Something is not working at this time . I will try later.

Sat. June 18

Greeting from Mexico, I am back in Mexico and had a great time in my short stay in Canada. I would like to thank everyone that  donated funds to the car for the pastor here in Mexico. Once again this was a calling from God for me to step out in faith. All the funds were raised and I will follow up with pictures and a short video to the donors from the presentation of the car to the pastor. I would also like to thank the donor who made it possible for us to serve hamburgers on Monday at the pastors meeting. Please be praying for this meeting that the Holy spirit will draw the San Quintin valley together and unit them. Thanks again for all your prayers and support,

June 11

Hi everyone, a quick update to this point,  the pastors meeting on June 20th just keeps on growing. We are about 25 or so that said they would be there. I thought it might grow to 10 but God is moving through the valley and it is great to see.

I am on my way back to Canada for a vary short trip, I will be there Sunday evening and leave Wednesday morning. The purpose of my trip is to pick up my car and take it to Mexico to give to a pastor. I am still short $1200.00 on my fund raising for this but I feel God will provide and this is something I must do.

Summer teams start coming down in July and things will get very busy then. I believe our last team leaves around August 13th. The summer will go by fast.

Once again I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support. Please pray for the pastors meeting on the 20th as I feel very overwhelmed be how fast it is growing, and also for the car.  I thank you in advance.
