"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you..." 1 Peter 1:3-4

Hi everyone!!

The girls at the Youth Rehab Center with their Christmas cookies.

Hope that you guys all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We're sorry for the long break without writing. It has been a very fun and busy time for us!

We got to celebrate our first Christmas as a little family here in Mexico (last year we celebrated in Las Vegas so this was our first official Mexican Christmas)! It was so much fun!

We started the season off with lots of baking; it was a blessing because CTC was donated enough dough and resources to make over 1,000 cookies to give as gifts to the different ministries we work with! So Charmaine, Angelina and Babs, Charmaine's mother, spent a lot of time in the kitchen and Jadon signed up as the official cookie taste tester It definitely seemed like everyone enjoyed their giant bag of cookies and candy, and we were blessed making(and taste testing) them of course.

It was a blast doing Christmas stuff with all the different ministries here, but I think our favorite thing was teaching Christmas songs to the English class kids! Check out this video to hear their rendition of “Jesus Born on this Day”!

For New Years, we headed to Las Vegas to spend time with our family there, and then shortly after we ventured to Murrietta, California for the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference! It was an amazing time of learning, refreshment, and fellowship. God really spoke to us as a family about trusting Him in each season and seeking to be faithful in His plan for us. It reminds us of the verse Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

We know that we are getting ready to walk through a new season with a lot of change this year. Our CTC team is going to go through lots of changes especially since James and Charmaine feel the Lord is calling them to move on. By God's providence in just a few weeks CTC will be welcoming two new missionaries from our church in Las Vegas- Paul and Veronica Morales. They are an amazing couple that love the Lord so much. We feel that God is desiring to expand the ministry here more and more and we are excited to see what He has! Please keep James and Charmaine in your prayers as well as Paul and Veronica as they are taking the plunge into international missions.

By the way, we have some news for you all...

 

Woohoo! We found out this last Tuesday that our newest family member is another little boy =)! We are so excited! Thank you so much for praying with us for this healthy pregnancy.

If you can also please keep in prayer with us for this weekend, we have a wonderful ladies team coming from CC Spring Valley. Please pray with us for their safe journey and that God would move through them as they minister and that lives would be blessed and come to know Him.

We love you and can't wait to talk to you soon!

God bless you,

The Davis Family
