Update from Cerro Azul

Greetings and God's love to all! Here is an update on the house in Cerro Azul that Amor built for this family of nine. A team from Escondido came down yesterday and put in all electrical wiring and made walls for this family. God put them in our path early this year and with His help and direction we were able to communicate their need. God is always faithful and we are here to serve Him. He allows us to be His hands and feet and this family is one of the most humble and grateful families that I have met. Special thanks to the team from Escondido that did the finishing touches for them.

Frank and I were married on June the 27th at Rancho San Juan Bosco and took two weeks off to have our honeymoon. As soon as we got back changes began to take place in our lives. We were notified that the orphanage was over staffed and they were unable to find him a position. Frank is now out in Cerro Azul full time and I have cut back my days to three a week there. I am out here the rest of the days. We had planned to be at the orphanage for an extended time period, but the Lord had different plans for us. Our ministry out here has already taken off. I am now involved with dispensing of food baskets to needy families on a weekly basis. The Lord has provided food for us to dispense to those in need. We make house calls to whom ever the Lord "highlights" to us and we pray for their needs and bring hope and encouragement to them on a weekly basis. Also providing transportation to and from appointments for those in need. The Lord has placed on my heart to open a transitional housing program for those in need of placement leaving the "orphanages" in this area. We are in the praying/planning process at this point. Please keep us in your prayers for support and encouragement. Also if anyone is interested in sponsoring a family or a young adult for University please send me an email and I can send you the information on who is available for "help" at this time. Your donation will be tax deductible. My email is debmbaker777@gmail.com. I will be posting pictures and info about families in critical need and young adults that are interested in attending school to better their lives. God's love and His joy and peace to all of you.

"To Mexico in Love"

And now abide faith, hope, love these three; but the greatest of these is love. "To Mexico with Love" has become "To Mexico in Love". God has placed an amazing man in my life. He is my best friend and soon to be husband. Frank joined the Ministry on my 2nd missions trip and we became friends and God had a plan for us. Without my knowledge Frank says he fell in love at that moment and began praying for our relationship. Things have progressed and our friendship has blossomed into love, we have already taken the first step of obedience by having our civil ceremony. The most important step to us will be the Wedding ceremony that will take place on the 27th of June here at Rancho San Juan Bosco. Before God and all our brothers and sisters in Christ. ( in Mexico it is required to have a civil ceremony before the actual wedding ceremony)  June the 27th would have been my Mom's 70th birthday, I lost her suddenly in April of 2013. I would like that day to also be a remembrance of her. How she loved me, regardless of my behavior. As only a Mother could. Miss you so much Mom! We will continue to serve here at Rancho San Juan Bosco and the surrounding areas for our community outreach. Two are stronger then one and with God as the center of our marriage we will be more effective in spreading His love to those He places in our paths.

We have continued to help families in need with food, clothing, prayer, transportation and networking with local church's. The ministry "To Mexico with Love" is expanding we are encouraged by renewed interest. All is in the Lord's hands and we are here to serve. If you are interested in information about coming to Mexico for short term missions or volunteer positions at the orphanage please contact me at debmbaker777@gmail.com. You will get a new perspective on the world around you by reaching out to those in need. Please continue to pray for us down here, thanks for your love and support. Jesus is our example, "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you"  John 15v12. To lay down our lives for Jesus, to love the "unloveable" the one with no voice. We are called to be His hands and feet, all the Glory goes to God. Love to you, your sister in Christ :)

Greetings :)

Greetings, greetings, greetings. I have limited access on the Wi-Fi right now so I am able to post from my laptop, yay! We will see how long this lasts, one thing I have learned down here is to be  always so flexible with my plans and my time. You see I say my time and my plans, once I give "my" stuff over to PaPa God things start to improve in all areas (imagine that). Life is good down here, I have officially gained 10 lbs. from all of this wonderful food especially the flour tortillas they melt in your mouth and go directly to your hips, that is the absolute truth. I am still adjusting on a daily basis, always room for improvement but also always celebrating the progress. God fulfilled my hearts desire when I got to come to Mexico, but I believe my hearts desire was also His hearts desire for me. The girls are learning more and more English as days go by and my Spanish is also improving. God is amazing and always faithful even if we do not realize it at the time. I started to think on how things we do in the natural effect the things which are unseen. I finally finished a book called Worthy of  Love and it was as if something shifted and the angels sang out "she finished it" the next day I had a great revelation on my self worth. I actually began to feel and act more worthy of the love that was around me. I have no problem giving out God's love to others it is in the receiving that things tend to go astray. I was told that this would be a season to learn God's love and I believe it and receive it. Yay God! As always I am so in love with you!!

Many lives are being touched by the Love of our God down here and I am blessed to be able to help in any and all ways. We are going out to Cerro Azul on the weekends and helping families with food and clothing donations. The Lord provides the items and we take them out to the families. We have not had any shortage of food or clothing donations for these families that God puts in our path. We are here to help serve the Lord and that is just one of the ways He has been able to use us. The prayer from Bishop came last month and we had a report that one of the men that we had prayed for was healed of his Hep C no signs they were going to do a liver biopsy just to be sure. A biopsy just to try and prove a miracle. Do whatever it takes to believe in miracles, but in the end just believe.

I will try and update more often, big hug to my friends and family. Te quiero mucho :)

Cerro Azul

Giving out God`s love :)

Matthew 6v19-21

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where theives break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and where theives do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.

Greetings, Ron and the team came down last month, it was Sandy, Gary, Susan and Jan. We were able to participate in handing out blessings at Cora`s church in Polvorine. Blankets, hats and scarfs and some toys and candy for the kids. About 100 people or more attended, they also provided a meal for all who came by to get blessed. 92 blankets in all were purchased and about 72 were handed out that day. Ron blessed Frank and I with 10 to hand out to the people in Cerro Azul and Danny also took 10 for anyone at Ezekiel`s church that might be in need. We were able to purchase food for three families and deliver to their homes on the following day(families in extreme need), also were able to take jackets to two men who live in a tent dwelling on the river bed in Polvorine along with food and prayers. God is good and always provides a way for us to share His love. The men did some repair work at Cora`s church that same day after that we visited some of our regular families, the ministry has two families that we help support their medical needs and whatever else we can help with. On that note Frank and I were led to a family in Cerro Azul in extreme need. They are a family of 9 living in a small dwelling with dirt floors, no windows, no running water, the smallest child is 4 yrs old. The Father works in TJ and the Mom and kids make bricks to help supplement their income. Very humble and loving family my spirit loved them from the first moment that I met them. They are on the list for a house to be built but for now we are going to help them as much as we can with their needs. They are attending Pastor Ezekiel`s church and were very grateful for what food and clothing we could provide them. Prayer is needed and I will keep you posted on any other needs for support. Ron will be back at the end of this month with a team.

God has placed on my heart to share a hope that we could all return to a more authentic way of living. A Revival of what has been forgotten. To love your neighbor as you would love yourself, to help those in need with out fear of not having enough left over for yourself. Knowing in the deepest part of your heart that God will always take care of us,the more we give the more we  receive. It is an endless circle of giving and receiving of love, hope and joy! We are His instruments, He will never leave or forsake us. In the name of Jesus lets bless someone until it stings, it will only be for a moment the blessing of giving will return two fold or more. Trust and See, God Bless now and always :)

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 :)
