Oh Victory in Jesus!

Revelation 15:3-4 "a song of God's servant Moses and the Lamb: 

Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. 
Just and true are your ways,
King of Nations.
Who will fear you, Lord, 
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed."

I can't wait for the day when we are witness to this absolute and complete victory! What an incredible day it will be. Today, we can be part of this victory as the heavens rejoice when one sinner repents, when one lamb is brought into the arms of Jesus. 

Today, our team sets out on a journey to another Nation. To a place where, one by one, lives are being transformed for the Glory of God. Thank you Jesus for giving us just a glimpse of the rejoicing that happens in the Heavens right here on earth. We praise you God for what you will do and TRUST in your faithfulness.

Trust For Protection

Trust: our theme for the year... beyond that what does trust really mean? There are all kinds of things that people put their trust in. Trust in money, Trust in your house, Trust in your future, Trust in yourself, and Trust in other people. The problem is... All of these types of things or people may fail. Then what? We have to reach up with empty hands and trust the only one who never fails, Jesus! He is our constant protector, our refuge, and the Holy one we must place our trust. 

Only a little more than a week remains until our team departs for our mission trip to the village and we ask for your fervent prayers. We know that we are fighting a Spiritual battle and when the devil knows good things are about to happen (in the name of Jesus) he doesn't like it. Please pray for our protection above all. I came across this in my devotion this morning and thought I would share.

The Psalmist declares `Let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you` (Psalm 5:11). By trusting ourselves to God’s protection, we are kept safe from the enemy and given reason to rejoice and be glad. Of course this doesn`t mean that bad things won`t happen. Believers still get flooded, wounded, or even killed. But the truth is that when we`re under the spiritual protection of the Lord there`s a place of inner safety, which is unassailable by the enemy.

Praise God! 

Our 2014 Team is Getting Ready to Serve!

So much has happened in the village since our last team served in March of 2013.

Last year, our team helped the members of the church in San Francisco, Yucatan, to haul about 18 tons of rock from the church property to form the floor of the church. It was an amazing experience as each person picked up each rock and placed it on what would be the foundation of the church! If you remember, the theme of our trip last year was, "Built on the Foundation of Christ" Wow, what a huge Spiritual representation each of those rocks was!   After our team left, the work of the church carried on. The cement was laid, and walls were formed, windows placed, and the very first church services in the church were held.

Manuel and Nancy Pamplona are now living on the grounds of the church and this year our team will be helping to complete their Pastoral house. We also plan to have a Family Camp and a Baby Shower for the first new babies born to families of the church.

Our team this year looks a little bit different than most years. We are small in numbers and we are from a variety of different churches and places. We are confident that God hand picked each of us for such a time as this! We trust in God and his perfect plan for each of us this year. We are trusting that through our weakness, God will be strong and accomplish Mighty things!

Will you join us in prayer as we finish up our preparations and make plans to head into the Mission field?

Thank You!
