Continuing Power in the Church
12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.
Acts 5:12

Greetings children of God!! Lots to talk about so much has happened since I last wrote this blog. Yay God, He is really moving down here in Mexico and the beautiful thing is that the body of Christ is beginning to work together in one accord.
We began going to a new food bank in Menifee California and have been very blessed by the amount of food and supplies that they have been providing for us to bless the community in Cerro Azul and Valle de las Palmas.

Thank you Lord for opening the doors for us to be able to provide more food to those in need of help in our area of Baja California.
We were blessed to hold a kid's outreach in Hosanna church when the group came from Bishop in September. We have been trying to hold an event for the kids once a month. We love to plant seeds in the youth :)

The next group that we were blessed to host was from Fernley Nevada from the Journey church. They also helped out one of our sisters in Christ Nancy Arce by putting a new roof on her home. It rains really heavy where we live so roof repairs are a huge blessing to people down here. Thank you Jesus for abundant provision and placing the right people in our lives who have a heart to serve.

We were able to bless 21 families with food donations, this group was amazing and they were so generous to help those in need. Frank and I are so blessed by the groups that come down and visit us here in Baja California the Lord is using this connection in the body of Christ to bless so many. We are so uplifted by the fellowship and hearts of service.

We took them to visit one of our favorite and inspiring people, baby Isaac. His parents love him with such an unconditional love that no other can compare except the Love of Jesus for us. We are so fortunate to be able to be apart of his life and lives of his family.

Ron and Wes and Michael came down from Bishop for the medical brigada that was in Tecate with Pan de Vida church. We had a fun time I was able to help with the foot care booth and got to meet some new people and bless them with some special care for their feet.

We also got to visit some families and pray for them and deliver some food. We love to visit people in their homes and have that special connection with them that only can be made through relationship.

Ron Graves has been coming to Mexico for close to thirty years and he has made so many relationships and of course we have made new ones but the people know Ron and love him for his dedication to them and to the Lord. Frank and I are so blessed to work with Ron and to be apart of what Father God is doing in this area.
In between groups I took an airplane to LifePointe church in Elk Grove California. Pastor Chris and the group from the missions team welcomed me with open arms, they come down once a year and build in one capacity or another. This year they built a church and next year in 2018 they will be building two homes. Frank has known this group for a long time and when we got married I came on board with them we are able to help them when they come down each year and build, we help with the vacation bible school. Thank you Jesus and Pastor Chris for allowing me to share with his church what the Lord has placed in our hearts for the people in Mexico.

The kids loved it and Pastor Juan brought his youth group from Valle de las Palmas and we all worked together to bring forth the glory of the Lord and to spread the Good News.

Thank you Lord for such an amazing time at these events.
Last but not least was an early Christmas Celebration, we celebrated the birth of Jesus and unity in the body of Christ. At last count we had 250-300 people there. Jehovah es mi Pastor hosted the service and we all gave 100 percent to this event and our Lord and Savior Jesus. Blankets, toys, food, music, puppet show and open heavens pouring down the Love of our Jesus on all who attended and who served and His sweet Presence filled the atmosphere.

Words cannot express the gratitude to all of those involved in these events and in our daily life here in Mexico. This past year has been amazing and the Lord has opened so many doors for us and for the advancement of His Kingdom. Love and blessings to all who pray for us and send financial support and who come down and help with these events and on short term mission trips and who donate items for us to be able to bless the people. God Bless you all and we look forward 2018.
