Greetings from Mexico
I have been busy with meeting pastors and new pastors coming on board with One Life One Chance and the minisrty here. I am that there are pastors here that have never had out side ministries  connect with them. Just a few day ago I sat down with pastor Isaias and another pastor not far from here and when I ask him how a forein team could help him, he was not sure how to answer that as he has never had a mission team stop by. I was heart broken and I had to promise him that would change this year. He also told us that even his congragation was asking how come forein teams bypassed them. The need is great here and this spring the weather was colder than normal and all the crops are behind and the work was just was not there for them. Food, clothing and shelter seems to be the biggest requests. Please pray for the ministry as we prepare for this summers teams, that God will direct us in helping these people. thank you for all your prayer and support.  Ed

Greetings, It has been a very busy spring this year. While groups were here we had a number of things go sideways. All those things made for a couple of long weeks. No teams right now and I am trying to clean up the lose ends. With that said, they were great weeks for God. On one of our builds two elderly people excepted Christ at their house dedication, a very emiotional time for the group and family. On another build, the family are believers but what was shared by the husband made it a very heart felt and emional house dedicatrion. Recieving this house ment that he could quit the job he had and find a new one. The job he had had them living in a small plasic shack on a farmers field were he was a slave to the farmer. If anything went missing from the farmer he was personally held responsible for it and had to work for free to repay it. Now he is free from that and is forever greatful for the help they recieved. Satan tried to drag us down with all the sideway things and problems but with stories like that it does make all the problems smaller and less important and shows that we do sereve an awsome God. Thank you for all your prayers and support.  God bless.

Greeings from Mexico, Our first round of groups left yesterday and we had another group from Alberta stop in for 2 days and help out around the yard here. What a difference these extra hands have made and what a blessing they have been here. Our pool area was repainted and a lot of dirt was moved to allow a new driveway in the rear of the property. Another house pad was started on this property for another care taker house. God bless.  Thanks for your prayers and support.

Soory for no updates for a while. Internet service has been a little spotty. Thing are going great on th base and last week we connected with most pastors and I felt things went well. Jonathan and Isaias and myself spent some time talking to different pastors and listened to needs and stories since we last spoke. In just short time now we will be picking up our first group in San Diego and starting more outreaches and community services. The pastors are all excited to see teams returning and looking forward to working with them. One pastor told me that there are 3 youths being baptized on Easter sunday in their church.

Good morning, The past few days have been full of reaquainting myself with people and the area. Sunday I attended church and gave Isaias the day off. Monday Isaias and myself visited a local pastor in Santa Fe and spent some time on my spanish. Today we will look at the pool and see how and with what we can clean it up and repair it before repainting the pool. Isaias and Ana have some missionary friends here visiting and we are enjoying their visit. They also speak english . The weather is very cool at night clear skies during the day. On Thursday Jonanthan and Isaias and myself plan on going out to connect with about five other pastors, please pray for us as we go visit them and try to find out what their needs are aswell as to how best help them in the coming months. God bess and thank you for your prayers and suppoert.
