We, Sister Lupita and I, were in Guadalajara for 10 days. It was an awesome time in Jesus. We went to an evangelistic out reach with Pastor Ralph and his family. It was held in a park about 6 blocks from their house. They had Christian music of all kinds and even a Rap group came. There were plays and an alter call. It was a blessed event and I know the first of many more to come.
We also preached in various services in Pastor Ralph’s church and ministered to the people, truly it was a blessing and God moved. There was deliverance and salvations. God is so powerful and faithful.
My cousin joined us in Guadalajara as she needed to take care of some business and needed an interpreter so I got to help her out. She was a blessing to have with us and she just fit right in and God just worked in her and used her and I know there was even purpose we do not yet know. God is so awesome that way.
We also preached in two other churches while in Guadalajara, with Pastor Norma and with Pastor Dario. These services were also blessed and powerful. God truly ministered to his people. My cousin, Rainbow even helped pray for people. It was awesome to witness Gods moving.
The spiritual battles were so heavy but the victories sweet and we are guaranteed the victory when the battle is the Lords. We so truly appreciate all you prayers over us.
Then it was good bye to Rainbow who God just gave such favor in all she needed to do and take care of and on to Tepic for us.
We stayed with my good friends Mingo and Esme from Tijuana, who are now living and helping in the church Esmirna with Pastor Lorenzo. Who has made the church there open to us and all we want to do! God is truly King and on the throne.
We held a women’s seminar at Esmirna where we made a wonderful lunch for the ladies and gave them all a gift and it was a truly blessed time. We also held a special day for Day of the Child (Dia Del Niño). We also made a special lunch of hot dogs and chips with juice. We played games had puppet shows, sang songs and everyone received a gift and a bag of candies. We had 100 children and adults and everyone ate and was blessed. The children were so happy, we were all happy.
At Esmirna we ministered at several regular services also. It was so good to see all the ladies from there and to see them doing well and the church growing. God is awesome and great! Those who stayed connected to the vine thrive.
We went to the house of one of the members of Esmirna who has been too weak to make it to the church for a year and prayed with her and her husband. We watched God touch her and raise her up and she even made to a service too. God is alive and still healing his people, Glory!
One night we went to pray with some family, of a member of Esmirna’s, and we had 3 ladies give their lives to Jesus and a sister in Christ also received deliverance of a spirit of suicide among other things. God is amazing and knows all we need to hear to be encouraged and uplifted.
We were also blessed to go to 3 new little missions with Pastor Phillip Tollman. The services were blessed and God ministered to his people with such great love and care.
Pastor Phillip has been a missionary in Mexico since coming with his parents when he was still a young man. I even had the privilege of meeting his mother, who along with her husband was missionaries to Africa for about 13 years before God eventually sent them to Mexico, where they still reside and have been for 30 years. She is an awesome woman of God and I truly enjoyed every second I had with her. Her and her husband now work and help their son’s ministry. They teach classes daily in a Bible school for Phillip along with many other duties and work. Phillip and his wife Luz are Pastors of about 8 churches and do so much for Jesus and spreading his gospel and love. I am blessed to know them and honored to be invited to minister in their churches.
All in all we were in Tepic for 12 days arriving and leaving included and we had only two days off. But we were blessed and saw God do awesome things.
One of my favorite testimonies is we met through our taxi driver Victor, a woman, Esmerelda who has 5 children. Her oldest Stefani is in a vegetable state after being struck down by a car 4 years ago. Her family cares for her with such love and dedication. We went daily to pray with this young girl and her family. The mother and 2 of her youngest children accepted Jesus in to their hearts. They others are saved also.
By the time we left Stefanie was following me with her good eye and she even squeezed my hand. I know God is touching her even now.
We got to know her family well and I even took the children for a day at the
pools to relax and have some fun. I taught her oldest boy Juan to swim. He is 15 and has not had the chance to learn to swim as he has hardly left the house for 2 years. He is afraid that if he leaves something will happen to his sister Stefani and he will not be there to help. His mother told me after the day out that Juan could not stop talking about learning to swim and how much fun they all had. We may not begin to know all the purposes God has for each moment in our lives but we can be sure there is purpose even in the smallest things.
The taxi driver a good friend of this family was telling me on our way to the bus station to head to the airport to go home how much we had ministered to his heart and life in our time in Tepic. We were amazed and thrilled as we had truly been praying for him also. He said we reminded him that with God there is always hope, no matter how bad things may seem, there is hope. God is the God of hope and he does care about his children. He also told us that if more people would love others more and try to help, and be a blessing to others they would have less time to worry about there own situations. God would use them more and touch the lives of more people, if we would just love others more and do what we can to show them Gods love.
He said this is what you have done for Tepic. You have left home, family, husband and children, to come and give hope to those who have forgotten that God is love and hope. He said my life has been changed forever and I am different and I have my hope back.
God willing, if we go back to Tepic in November we will spend more time with my new Sister Esmeralda and her wonderful family, Juan 15, Hector 13, Luis 9 and Anna 6 and most of all Stefani 17 and Victor who made this possible by asking us to come and pray for his friends daughter.
Please remember this family with me in your prayers as well as all the churches where we work and visit. Remember Tepic and Gudalajara and the pastors who welcome us to come and minister. Please pray for provision to return to these places to minister the love of Jesus and preach the Good News.
We love you all so much and thank you for all your support.Our trip was a blessed time in Jesus and we could not of made it with out you, your support and prayers.
