"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."- John 15:4-6

Hi Everybody,

How are you doing? We hope that all is well, and that you remembered the time change yesterday! We didn't =(... thanks for a lot for reminding us. Hehe, just kiddng. We did forget, but of course we're not mad at you =).

Although, it's incredible how one little change can throw off the entire day if we let it! We're so grateful that we serve the the only Person(God) that never changes! Hebrews 13:8 says “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Even though we might think that the little change messed up our entire day, we know His plans are much better than our own(phew!), and He was and will always be consistent, just, faithful, graceful, merciful, and love us. Thank you Lord! 

Thanks so much for all of your prayers, it's been an awesome month, and we've definitely felt your prayers and seen many answered!

The most amazing after school kids on the planet.

We mentioned in our last blog about the Thursday afternoon Bible study we've been given the opportunity to teach at a local rehabilitation center for the youth; and over the last few weeks we've watched as God is really moving in the hearts of the kids there. And in turn, He is really breaking our hearts as they are beginning to open up to us about their lives and sharing their prayer requests. We know that He has a plan for each soul there and can give them new lives, delivered and restored by His love. And this past weekend, while a team was here ministering to them from Santa Fe, California, many of the young girls made the choice to give their lives to Him! God is so good and His Word is so powerful!

We really feel like God is leading us as a team, opening new doors for ministry. Will you pray with us for God's guidance and will to be done with these opportunities?:

• The same rehabilitation center that we are currently ministering to also houses 40 men that were former drug addicts, and starting this week on Thursday, after the youth study, the door has been opened to begin a Bible study for them as well(Praise God)!

• A popular soccer field near CTC has its own multi-purpose room, and the owner has offered it to us free of charge on the weekends. Evangelistic English classes have been put on our hearts, and we think this may be the place to begin them. However, although we speak English, we've never taught it! You can see we need prayer :D.

• Also, a local orphanage has invited us to come begin a little Bible study with them weekly.We would also love to begin to take teams there as well.

Thank you for praying with us about these things!

Take a look at this prayer request He recently answered:

Some of the after school kids pose for a picture with the new monkey bars!

Brand new monkey bars (woohoo!) hand made by a men's group that visited us last month. The kids love them!

 

Pastor Jorje and his wife Erika

In other news, we're very excited because our friends Jorje and Erika are getting ready to have their very first baby!! They are expecting a baby boy named Santiago, and we are expecting him and Jadon to be best friends. 

Jorje is a pastor at a local Calvary Chapel here, and they are beginning the stages of opening a coffee shop at their church. We personally tried the cappuccino they want to sell, and it is  a w e s o m e.  Please keep them in prayer for their new baby, and also for their coffee shop as they minister in an area where there are a lot of young people, and they believe the coffee shop may be a new way to reach out and share the love of Jesus with them.

Baby Jadon at 3 1/5 months showing you his tummy time skills

Also new this month, Jadon is becoming such a big boy, he is starting to turn over on his own, and laugh, which we think is the cutest and sweetest thing yet. You have to come visit and  see him! Also, our neighbor Trini taught us how to make a food called sopes, which can only be described as “yuuum". 

Thanks so much for catching up with us, and again, thank you so much for all of your prayer!! Talk to you soon, and please remember to email us any of your prayer requests.

Lots of love,

Brennan, Angelina and baby Jadon
