"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” 1 John: 14-15

Hi everyone,

    We have officially made it down south! For the last two weeks, we have been enjoying unpacking and getting back into the swing of things here in Mexico. Thank you all so much for your prayers, it has been so nice to see familiar faces of our sweet family here and to experience the feeling of being home again. Jadon especially had fun meeting all of his new familia here in Mexico. He fits right in! :) 

Jadon meeting some of the children from Ninos del Rey.

Our first week back, the CTC after school program for kids instated a monthly Olympics, and we got to experience the very first one. It was so much fun! There were four teams of mixed big kids with little kids, running all kinds of races and obstacle courses. Watching the kids laugh and play(and roll and fall!), we were reminded of what a blessing it is that the Lord has given the CTC kids a beautiful soccer field to play on! God is so good.

 

He has blessed so bountifully the ministries here at CTC. The children’s program(Ninos del Rey) now has so many children in attendance, we’ve  actually reached our limit! The wonderful staff of teachers are working hard to help every single child with his or her homework because we’re almost 40 kid’s strong! The weekly ladies Bible has grown as well! It is up to 14 ladies (now including Angelina :) ) regularly in attendance, fellowshipping and seeking God’s face together. We praise God that CTC has also recently been able to reach out to a local rehabilitation center with weekly Bible studies to the youth there as well.

 We’re very excited and would be so grateful for your prayer about ministry opportunities coming up for us here at CTC.  We hope to share with you in our next blog more details about the Rehabilitation Center Bible study as well as the new church building project for CC Antiochia in Granjas.

We are currently seeking the Lord for His will for more ways to share His love with the community here in La Gloria. Will you pray with us? Some things that He has put on our hearts include weekly community park cleaning and evangelism, evangelistic English classes, outreach to local pastors, coming alongside and assisting more local church plants, and orphanage and hospital outreach. Some other ministry prayer requests include: transportation for our Ninos del Rey children(currently we pick them up from school in the back of the CTC blue truck), thick gloves for community park cleanings(we find lots of glass!), and other play equipment for the after school program.

Thank you so much for praying with us, it is such a gift to be able to pray and know that our Heavenly Father is listening! Luke 11: 9-13 says, “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”  

We plan to update you all every month with what we’ll be praying about and with what the Lord is doing.  Please write and let us know if there is anything we can be praying specifically for you! We love you all and look forward to writing again soon.

God bless you,

Brennan, Angelina and Jadon
