Love walk

Here’s the one thing I crave from God, the one thing I seek above all else: I want the privilege of living with him every moment in his house, finding the sweet loveliness of his face, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to live my life so close to him that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.

Psalms 27:4 TPT

Greetings children of God!! I am blessed to be able to send out an update. I have been back in Mexico for approximately six weeks, glad to be home :). I also loved the time with my daughter and her family. We started back with outreach as soon as I returned home. Frank and Jose never stopped the food for the elderly but we went out and gave out masks and food when I returned. We started with 15 elderly and are now up to 25 each month. We buy food in Mexico and also receive donations of non perishable food items from the states. God has continued to provide for us and those He has placed in our paths to serve in Jesus's name.

God placed it in my heart to begin teaching English to kids in our area. With the help of my husband Frank, our brother and sisters in Christ, Sonia, Lluvia and Fernando we have started weekly classes in English at our home outside under a canopy and tarp for shade. The method is called TPR - total physical response. It is learning through actions and repetition. Fernando is also singing songs in English to the kids and we are having an amazing time building relationships with these children. We pray with them and are amazed at how quickly they are learning with this teaching method. 

We were blessed to also have a kids prayer outreach here in Cerro Azul at Lluvia and Lupe and Miguel's home.

 We had a message on prayer from Sonia and she also brought a map of the world and we prayed for different areas in the world. We pulled names out of a hat and broke off into six different groups and prayed for six different countries in the world. We were blessed to have Fernando there with the puppet show. We served spaghetti and rolls and small bags of candy. Our hope is to have a children's outreach in a different person's home each month in a different area of the community to expose new children to the Love of Jesus. :)

Last but not least we had an amazing outreach at the landfill in Tijuana. We were blessed to be able to go and serve a hot meal to those living in the landfill. This time we joined forces with a church from Tiuana along with Brother Jonathon who is an Evangelist. Frank also reunited with an old friend who also had been rescued from the landfill who now has a praise and worship ministry in Tijuana along with a group from a rehab center in Tijuana. Also people from our ministry Para Mexico con Amor. It was a large celebration and we will be going back with the same people on July 25th. This time bringing tortas along with praise and worship. We come bringing hope. Frank was rescued out of the landfill along with sister Susana and along with brother Moises. God is putting together a group of people who actually lived in the landfill and who Jesus has rescued out. Jesus is the answer. I always say Jesus is the answer to any and all problems in the world. 

Trust in Jesus, He will not let you down. He will never disappoint. Believe in Him, He is the truth, the Way and the Life. Thank you to all who pray for us and support us financially.  We are blessed beyond measure to be able to serve Jesus in this area of Mexico where the need is so great. Thank you Lord Jesus and thank you to all who are placed in our path and give us the opportunity to reveal more of You to them. Blessings :)

Greetings :)

Greetings children of God!! I wanted to send out an update for all of you in this very special time. This pause button of our lives and plans. We all have so many plans and things that motivate us and things that we feel are so important. Earlier this year I received a word from the Lord about new beginnings for everyone. But I had no idea that it would be like this. A time of pause a break in our lives to reflect upon what is important.  All of these things stripped away from us. Things that we took for granted such as our freedoms.

Currently I'm in Oregon with my very pregnant daughter and my son in law and grandkids. My daughter is a nurse and her daycare provider has closed so my help was needed here.

Frank is in Mexico doing what he can with the help of Jose delivering food to the elderly and handing out rice and beans to those in need. 

Currently we are buying our food in Mexico. Instead of crossing it over from the United States. So the food bags are a bit smaller but very well appreciated from all who receive them. We will continue to bless those in need. Hoping to have things return to normal in June. 

The Lord has been speaking to me about how we are tricked by the enemy into believing so many lies. The things that we have been focusing on are so unimportant in the big picture of things. All of the material possessions that we believe we must have and can so easily be taken from us in such a short time and this pandemic has proven just how quickly that can happen. Also the way we dwell on each other's faults and find it so easy to point out each other's flaws. The time that we spend trying to acquire these material possessions or the time that we spend pointing out each other's faults is time we could be spending with the Lord. Of course we want nice things but when it becomes our sole focus it is not healthy. When we stand in His Presence before His glory we begin to realize how only seeking His face and His will are important. That going into the secret place is our purpose . To love and be loved. To soak up His love and then return it to others. Believers and non believers alike. Whether we agree with them or their lifestyles to show them love. What does that look like you might ask? First of all not judging,  we are called to tell the truth of who Jesus is and what He did for us on the cross. What He does for us on a daily basis. Then allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work. Amen :) We are here as His representatives, the more time we spend in His presence the more we have to give away. The world is looking at us as followers of Jesus. How are we responding in this crisis. What are we doing in this time of global fear. Jesus is our Peace our Prince of Peace. He is our insurance plan our retirement plan. All my eggs are in one basket and its Jesus!! It's all for Him and all because of Him. Without Jesus I would not be here I would be lost in sin in the bottomless pit of despair. Because the devil is a liar and the only thing that can satisfy is Jesus. So give it a try reflect the one you love. Reflect the one who lives inside of you. You are one with the Creator of the Universe. Spend time in His Presence and give it all away and repeat again and again. I love you guys!! Thankyou so much for all of the prayers and support. 

Things the Lord has placed on my heart for the future.

 I woke up last night at about 1:30 am and started thinking about the word salvation in the bible. Thinking that for some reason I thought that I needed to get up at that hour and do a word search in the Greek for the word salvation. (it seemed like a good idea at the time) I knew that it had more than one meaning. I knew that it did not just mean forgiveness of sins.

 We are in the middle of this corona virus stuff and people are sending me specific ways to pray to ward off the corona virus but I started thinking. Why do I need to pray to ward off something that Jesus already accomplished on the cross. When Jesus died on the cross His last words were “it is finished”. What exactly is finished? I thought for a long time that He died to save me from my sinful self and ensure my ticket to eternity. Which is true. He did die for that reason but it is so much more than saved from our sins.

We are reconciled to the Father. We have complete access to Him freely. We don't need to go through anyone else to see the Father. We can do it ourselves Jesus did that for us. Easy access!! Back to the word search. 

The Greek word for salvation is Sozo which is used over 100 times in the King James Bible. But not just for the forgiveness of sins that is only one of the meanings. 

“Sozo” is the Greek word for salvation, yet it's root meaning goes beyond just the forgiveness of sins. According to Strong's Concordance, Sozo also carries the idea of being physically healed of diseases and to be delivered from your enemy. In the spiritual sense, that enemy is the devil and his demons.

Other meanings are: save or saved, whole, healed, preserve and well. All the words in all capital letters mean Sozo in the Greek. But in the King James Version they use different words, but in the Greek they all have the same meaning. 

Romans 10:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED.

Matthew 1:21 King James Version (KJV)

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins.

 Matthew 9:22 King James Version (KJV)

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee WHOLE. And the woman was made WHOLE from that hour.

Mark 5:23 King James Version (KJV)

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be HEALED; and she shall live.

 Ephesians 2 King James Version (KJV) 5 and 6

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are SAVED;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

We are already made whole by the blood!! By the sacrifice of the lamb.

This is from Smith Wigglesworth who was an amazing man of God!! Powerful healing ministry. In the early 1900’s.

“The only thing that is wrong is your wrong conception of the mightiness of His redemption.”

It is finished means just exactly what it says. All of it is finished. 

Luke 10:19 King James Version (KJV)

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

He gives us authority over all the power of the enemy!! 

Psalm 91 New King James Version (NKJV)

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

91 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

4 

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 

A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8 

Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 

No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 

For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 

In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 

With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

Believe!!

 Mark 9:23 New King James Version (NKJV)

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Believe that He already healed us and believe that He  already delivered us and believe that He has given us power over all the ways of the enemy. So let's join together in prayer as one body of Christ and thank the Lord for all that He did on the cross. All that He accomplished on that final day when He said “It is finished”. 

Believe in the Lord and His promises and believe that He will protect you from all the plots of the enemy. Cling to Him, trust Him that He has already defeated the enemy. Thank Him for your healing even if you don’t feel better continue to thank Him. Because the fact is that you may not feel good, but the truth is that Jesus already healed you!! By His stripes we are healed. We received salvation which means:  save or saved, whole, healed, preserve and well. IT IS FINISHED!! ALL HIS PROMISES ARE YES AND AMEN :) PRAY PSALM 91 OVER YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.!! Blessings :)

Blessings !!!

Deuteronomy 1 New King James Version (NKJV) 

11 May the Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as He has promised you. 

My hope for all of you is a wonderful and blessed new year 2020.

 I am happy to bring you guys an update. Praise God we have been very busy serving the community here in Baja California Norte. 

We had such a great Christmas celebration this year I am blessed to show you some photos. We had the event at different location this year. We rented a neutral spot to have the celebration so that people from many different churches would attend and feel comfortable. We had over 200 people come this year. Each year the event gets better and better. We handed out blankets and hats, beanies, scarves and small gift bags for the kids. Thank you team Mexico for all of your help in this event. Thank you to everyone who donated and also the team that came down from Bishop for all of your help and support. There was live music, great food, amazing team work and most of all the good news about Jesus as our Lord and Savior was shared. Good news gospel!!

Amazing worship

On Christmas day our church Jehova es mi Pastor made a special trip to the landfill to serve a hot meal to all who were there. I was unable to make it because I was in Oregon with my grand kids. It was a very special day to all who were able to make it.

John 13:34-35 New King James Version 

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Hungry people :)

Galatians 2:20 New King James Version 

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Thank you Lord Jesus for all that you have done for us. I will forever live my life as a sacrifice to you. Who loved me and gave Himself for me. He gave Himself for me before I knew Him and we are to love those who feel unlovable just as He loved us before we loved Him. Love is the answer, Jesus is the answer!! We might be the only Jesus that they see. We might be the one who changes their lives because they see Jesus in us. Amen!

 Matthew 5:16 

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

We have had two hygiene outreaches at the landfill, both went very well. We had no idea what to expect because we did not know that the church we work with actually had a hair cutting chair with a shampoo bowl attached to it. Wow we were super happy to see that when we arrived. The first event we had professional barbers who helped us but the second time it was team Mexico and also a family from Colorado and a group from Nevada. Some of the people in our team did have hair cutting experience so it all worked out fine and lots of fun to see the changes in the people when they came in and after we washed and cut their hair and also some beard trimming for the men. Plus new hair brushes or combs and towels. Yay God!!

 We had a visit from our friends in Arizona and when they came we also took them to the landfill and did our second prayer walk for the territory here in Cerro Azul. It is a 2.8 mile walk that we did praising the Lord the whole way. We had multiple churches participate and also my home group from Bishop was here with Gary and Ron and Donna and I have to say Gary and Ron are both 80 and they walked the whole way. Go God!!

 We make a landfill visit every month, if a team comes from the states we coordinate with them. If not team Mexico goes once a month to spread the love of Jesus. We encourage with prayer and carry the Presence of Jesus into the lives of the people who call the landfill home. I have people ask me what are the goals for the landfill? Of course we would love to help people get out. But many do not want to leave out of fear or shame or their past. So we come in and carry the Presence of Jesus to them. Holy Spirit lives in us and we come to encourage and bring hope. We have people who have previously turned down prayer and now they see us coming and ask us to pray for them. We always bring critical care needs food, drinking water and clothes if we have them. To also help in a tangible way. Love through action. God does the work on their hearts all we have to do is show up and love them with an unconditional love. Amen!

2 Corinthians 2:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us [a]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

We are still doing monthly food bags for the elderly. Each month we do 21 bags of food and with the help of volunteers we deliver them to homes of the elderly in our area. All of this is done by donations, food donations and cash donations to purchase extra things that are not donated. Thank you everyone for all of your help and donations.

Lets not forget backpacks every year we hand out back packs for back to school. We purchased 109 plus had about 40 donated to us to hand out to kids in need of help with school. 

We still help partner people with those in need of help with their education. Currently we have five young adults in University who are receiving help. Plus two high school kids. We also provide help for uniforms for kids in elementary and junior high. Again all by donation!! Go God!! You can't out give God and these kids and young adults are a great investment. I can not say how much I appreciate all of the help you guys have given us for these young adults.

Recently we had the pleasure of visiting a group home for elderly and rehab patients who have no family or a place to go. This home is completely ran by donations. We were able to bless them with food and blankets and warm beanies and gloves. Again with out your donations none of this would be possible. 

 

I have been in Mexico going on six years. It will be six years in June, married to Frank for five years in June. For those of you who knew me from the beginning of this journey you will know that the Lord placed it on my heart to take a radical leap of Faith and move to Mexico. I started in an orphanage as a volunteer and a year later married Frank and we branched off into outreach. We prayed for direction for the ministry how the Lord wanted it to go. This what happened after five years. Amen!! All the Glory goes to God!!

I also want to dedicate this to those who were lost to us in 2019.
We will meet again on the glorious day of our promotion to heaven. Gone but not forgotten we carry you in our hearts. Save us a seat up front!! :) Love you always.
