VBS anyone?



Ok I can honestly say that I am a little overwhelmed as I usually would take almost a year to plan a VBS well ok drum roll please......We will be running our VBS or Campo de verano July 20-24. But as much as I hate to say this its an opportunity for me to be stretched :) We are planning on having it in a park near by, and advertising the two Sundays before all dressed up and giving out information about it.
  1. please pray for Pati and Yvonne the two Mexican ladies who I am meeting with Saturday to hear their experience and suggestions.
  2. Please pray that they would really get excited and take ownership :)
  3. Pray that we would be able to have one of the other Alliance church help out as well such as Atizapan with music.
  4. pray that we would become familiar faces in our community and connect with many families.
  5. Pray that we would see connections from VBS come out to La Conexion and Alpha
I picked a soccer themed VBS thinking well we are in MEXICO CITY!! its called Training to Win Entrena para Ganar. Can't wait to post pictures of the event.
hey if you have any soccer themed ideas I would love to hear them, snacks, crafts......
Those pictures are of Carmela's 7th birthday party last friday.

Moving Slowly But Surely



It is so amazing to be apart of what God is doing here in MC. We really are in awe of the privilege we have to live here, meet amazing Mexican friends and plant a church here. Right now our schedule looks like two english classes and a thursday night prayer night to build our foundation for our future ministries here. As well as our Sunday morning group that meets in our home. OH and yes can not forget spanish class :)We are encouraged that God in his perfect timing will bring a people to himself. We had the privilege of having my twin sister Claudia and her family out here as well in May. What a gift to be able to introduce them to our new friends and give them a look into our life here in MC.
Please continue to pray that God would open doors and and lay a foundation that will last here in Del Valle. We are praying expecting BIG things for Mexico just living our lives having the privilege to love people one person at a time. The pictures are of one of our English group giving Claudia and Andrew gifts from Mexico and the other is of a run away turtle we saw last week :)
