Visit from Ron

Proverbs 21v13
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, will also cry himself and not be heard.

Greetings, prayer team was here, from November 20th to November 23rd. Ron, Gary and Elaine, Kris and Jim and Wes also our translators Frank and Danny and lets not forget me. Representing three different church's. Church on the Mountain from Crowley Lake, The River Church from Bishop and the Presbyterian Church in Bishop Ca. I had an amazing time with the group, we first attended Cora's church in Polverine. Kris spoke on healing, simple prayers to pray for one another in times of need. Many were healed, several of the people began to pray for one another. Empowering God's people is one of the Ministry's goals. We also were able to help with food donations. Yay God!!

Second Church service Friday night, Pastor Mere's Church in Cerro Azul. Large very cold building-Holy Spirit came in full force and warmed us up! Again many were healed and many testiamonies of past healings and positive declerations about the present and the future. Wow, Wow, Wow!!!
Change is happening down here.

Third Church service Church of Christ, Pastor Ezekiel's Church Cerro Azul. Good turn out prayed for many and many were healed. We do our part and God does His which is way more then we could ever imagine.

Fourth Church service, Silver and Karen's church in Cerro Azul. We had a BBQ with the team and John and Pat.  Prayed for the Church and a new family with three small boys. God is always good! Ron will be back on the 19th of December and we will be handing out blankets. We have 92 blankets that we just purchased this morning, Thanks to your donations,  92 families will be Blessed.

Things are going well at Rancho San Juan Bosco. Jesus told Peter to tend my sheep, So for me I will continue to spread the Love of Christ regardless of the challenges or obstacles. God does not stop loving or helping us if our behavior is poor or ungrateful. I believe we must help who we can not based on their behavior or performance. All people deserve love and the opportunity to know Jesus! We may be their experience, so I challenge you to give a little extra time or a hug or a smile to someone who might not be your favorite person, to the one who rubs you the wrong way. Try it, a double portion of compassion might be what we need to change a life and spread the love of our Jesus.

Thanks to all for your prayers and financial support. Much love and God Bless!!

Visit from Ron/To Mexico with Love

Greetings to all!! Had a wonderful visit from Ron and the team from Bishop. Ron, Sandy, Elaine and Gary and Wes and Vicki. They arrived on Thursday evening and stayed until Sunday. We attended a Church service at Cora's church on Friday and were able to help them out with some food donations. They also prepared a authentic meal for us to enjoy and fellowship with one another. We were able to pray for many at the Church and we felt the prescence of the Lord and many were touched by His healing hand. The team of men Ron, Gary, Wes, Frank and Danny were able to fix the roof at Rosa's house and also look into material for a room addition. The ladies and I went shopping, I drove the car and what an experience that was for all involved. We made it out safe and somewhat sound. God is amazing and moving down here, He is all around in this dry and weary land. He is the living water and all we need to do is drink of Him and He will fill us up with His love and compassion so we can continue to bring life to a weary people. The team brings hope and encouragement to all they encounter. They were a blessing to me and I so enjoyed seeing everyone's smiling faces. We had a BBQ at John and Pat's house on Saturday nite and the turnout from the community was amazing. Many people attended and we were able to pray for many different needs. We were able to fellowship with people that are all working for the Lord and bringing His love to the people of Mexico.  The team will be back down in November for a prayer and healing trip. All is well with me and the girls. I miss everyone back home but am creating new relationships down here and God is the center of my life. Much love and many blessings to all, God Bless you now and always :)

Visit from Ron/To Mexico with Love

"To walk with God in the high places we must lose our fear. Fear can only be lost in the desert, in the crucible of warfare, inferiority and internal struggle. In the place where only God can shelter. Only His comfort works. All is stripped bare and we come to rest in His goodness."  Graham Cooke  

Greetings from Mexico! Ron Graves from To Mexico with Love came down for a visit last week. I was so excited to see him. I want to thank all of the people who supplied the craft supplies for the girls, also for the financial support. When Ron came we went to a church in Polvorine named "The Journey" we were able to supply some food for the people of the church and the community. We were also able to pray for those in need of prayer with the help of our translators Danny and Frank. The prayer team will be coming down in November. We are also helping some families in the community of Cerro Azul, there is a family with five children that their grandmother is the primary care giver. With the help of volunteers and donations of supplies we will be able to repair her roof in September. We would also like to help her with a room expansion but that will depend upon donations and labor. I may be asking for support for material in the near future.  Our kids at the orphanage started school today. The two oldest girls are in Junior high in the 7th grade. The four other girls are in elementary school in grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. It was a amazing to be able to experience their first day of school and all the preparation involved. Praise God for all of His help, strength and discernment but mostly for His perfect love. Much love and many blessings to all.

 I would like to leave you with words to ponder.  In His presence we get renewed, refreshed. To drink from the river of life, where love and life flow freely. To spread God's love to the needy, all of us are needy in one way or another. All of us need more of Him! Turn to your neighbor and love on them. God's love is for all of us! Regardless of race, education, religion, poor, rich or in between, believer, pre-believer. We all need and desire God's love. Whether we admit it or not. God is waiting, no one will ever be turned away from His perfect love. Be Blessed :)

Greetings from Mexico!! "Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"  Joshua 1v9 amp. Praise God for His constant presence! It took all of my courage and His strength took over and guided me that first day at the orphanage and all the days to follow. He has never left my side. I rely on Him daily to help me with understanding the language, the culture and to give His love out to all that I encounter. The light we contain is an actual substance. His light, His love, His courage beyond reason. Personally I am doing great. God is blessing me with daily blessings of new revelations of His goodness and loving mercy. The trust level is outrageous! Take a deep breath and dive into the depths of absolute trust in Him, underneath are His everlasting arms. I am so missing all of my friends back home and my church family. God is in charge and I have given Him control on a daily basis. The first month I got heat stroke twice, but am now more prepared for the heat. Energy levels are up and down. Driving the car a little further each time that I go out. It is a serious learning curve, all learning all the time. Please pray for unity in the churchs, spirit of división to be broken off and leaders to see clearly. Wisdom and strength for all believers and all pre-believers. :) As for me prayers for increased energy and continued revelations, guidance and direction. Much love and many blessings to all. God Bless :)

Greetings from Mexico. Well I finally made it, I have been at the orphanage for 43 days. Much to do and lots to learn. God supplies all of my needs on a daily basis. As long as I keep my focus on Him. The kids are amazing and I can tell you none of their spirits have been broken. They are all unique and high spirited, in their own way. God is in charge and He has given us the ability to love and be a source of love for their lives. We have an opportunity to change their focus from self to a focus on Jesús. Daily devotionals, prayers and discipline out of love are all part of our daily life.  Prayer is needed in all áreas, especially prayers for love and understanding. Please lift up all of the staff at Rancho San Juan Bosco, the workers are few and the need is plenty. God loves the little children and so do we. Please support us with your prayers! Much love and many blessings to all! God is  so awesome and never ceases to amaze me all the time!! :) Also I would like to thank all of you who are helping in the natural with your financial support. I hope and expect to be getting visits very soon from .... you know who you are!!

Blessings for the send off from my home church and family "The River"

No words can express all of the love, joy and support I have received from my church family. I went to "The River" over two years ago and needless to say I was broken. I had come out of a very destructive season. I walked in and never left. The love and support and ease there to be one's own self was amazing. I settled in and let go and allowed God to take over and run the show. Not quite that simple but that is the jest of it. Opened myself up to Him and He being God and all did an awesome job at repairing me. I became a new person with His help and the love of my friends and family. All of the glory goes to God and His amazing wisdom and patience with me. I will be leaving in a few days to begin the next step in this journey. Leaving here my family and home. Thank you to all of you, you know who you are each and every one is so special and important to me. Friendships that will never be duplicated. I am so proud to be sent out from this amazing family. God Bless you all now and always.

 

 

Friends

God has blessed me with wonderful friends. This is my young friend Jena Erickson. She has been on every trip with us since March. She is a blessing to us all and a true God given friend to me. I love you Jena, my sister in Christ.

Blessing from Church on the Mountain, Crowley Lake CA

As the time comes closer for me to depart, I have been blessed by so many. I was invited to Church on the Mountain in Crowley Lake today. I received prayer and support from the church members. A special thanks to Mike and Heather Gehringer for their love and support.

March Mission Trip

Journal entry from 03/30/2014.
One week since we returned home from my 4th mission trip. They are short power packed, prayer, healing and love expeditions. We take food, love and hope. Last week on Thursday 03/27/2014 I decided to quit my job that I truly do love and move to the orphanage. It has been on my heart since my first trip in June 2013. I am waiting on an ok from the director that will come in April. For now I am moving forward by Faith that this will come to pass and all will go through. Being open to the move of the Holy Spirit!

It's already settled just get into agreement with His word. Your faith is moving mountains and shifting the atmosphere in your favor! Your breakthrough's, turnarounds and suddenlies have been predestined for you, only believe! Kick the doubt and wavering out! And receive your Kingdom inheritance. I found this written in a journal dated 06/05/2013. One day before my first mission trip to Mexico last year God is so good and always in charge and oh so gentle and patient with His kids. Love, Love, Love :)
 

Past mission trips to Mexico

Praying for sight to be returned to the blind, we declare in the name of Jesus by the blood of Jesus his sight will be returned! Yes Lord, it is finished! Praise God for all that you are doing and all that you will continue to do!
