"Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred." (Mark 4:3-8).
By the grace of God we are still sowing seeds here in Mexico. It seems like most of the seeds we plant get devoured by the enemy. Oh how I long to see a seed fall on good ground, that it may bear much fruit unto our King! We are still going out feeding the poor kids. Last week I was saddened to hear that the family that I am the closest too were moving deep down to Mexico, it broke my heart, I cried for days. But Praise Jesus, they were not able to move down there, so I get to keep them a little longer and keep loving them and teaching them! The pictures above are of them, for those who don't know of them yet. Luz (one of the girls) had told me that she stopped fighting, about 3 to 4 weeks ago, so I decided to ask her mom to see how she was behaving at home. Her mom told me there has been a great change in her. She doesn't fight anymore, and now tries to share with younger sister's what I have taught her. They are Catholic but by the grace of God, the parents allow them to come every week. I have noticed Luz for 2 weeks now has been sitting in our adult bible study and she wants me to show open the bible to where we are studying for her. She just sits there and listens. I gave her a bible last week, and her mom told me this weekend that Luz keeps asking her mom to read the bible to her, and then asks her a lot of questions regarding what she reads. So they both sit down and read the bible through the week. The mom told me, that her dad said that at the rate Luz is going she is going to be a Christian! I was blessed to hear that, this little girl seems to have more hunger than anybody we minister too. And I can see fruit in her life. Please pray that the Lord would save her soul. She is 6 years old.
We are still meeting with the women from the slum village. Please pray for Lucy, we have been preaching to her for a while, the Lord is calling her but she just won't repent and believe. Last week her neighbor Jose( he is also a guy we have been preaching too) came to her house with a huge knife and tried to stab her boyfriend on the back, but one of the other ladies from our study saw that and swung a broom to defend him and it hit the knife and missed him. So Lucy's boyfriend gets angry, grabs his Bibi gun and goes to Jose's house and shoots him on the lip! Jose fell and Lucy's boyfriend was pointing the gun at his eyes, about to shoot out his eyes, and Lucy was able to plead with him and pull him aside. Jose is fine, he went to work that same morning. That's Mexico for you! Please pray for these lost souls. Lucy is in adultery, her boyfriend is also in adultery and is a murderer at heart, Jose is also a murderer at heart and a homosexual, and the lady who helped Maggie, is also in adultery. We will be going tomorrow to meet with them some more.
We are also still preaching at the men's rehab. Please pray for these men. We go every Wednesday and Sunday. We have our own private room now to meet with the men on Sundays. See my picture on my homepage.
Please Pray for Sean and Lisa as they are expecting their 4th child in a strange land! I think she is like 7months pregnant.
We are also in the process of printing 7,000 gospel tracts in Spanish! Josef and Sean wrote them, and were blessed to have some brethren translate them for us. Please keep that in prayer that they get done, the printer has them now. If you would like to help us in the work here in Mexico go to our website.Lord bless you all!!!
In Christ,
