Have I got a lot to tell you….
First I want to tell you about our trip…. Some of the Victories---We shared in 20 churches, 15 small groups and many more one on one dinner, lunches and even breakfast (if you can believe I actually got up that early!) We also had some very much needed down time…a few days at the Lake in OH and a vacation in Florida.
Now some of the attacks…First the enemy tried to get to us through the van…it now has two new rear axles, a new front windshield, new spark plugs and wires, 4 new tires, a new battery and a new alternator. These things hit us in several ways…we had to fix the van…but several of the items happened in between stops…which entailed getting a hotel room for several nights. Now with that comes stress over the finances…which translated into a weaken immune system… Mike actually drove home from Texas with a temperature over 100… Van, Finances, Health…Think maybe the enemy didn’t want us back in MX?
Well let me tell you why!
Since we have been home…we have taken over as Pastors of Esmirna, a small church that we have been helping for 2+ years. Their pastors have taken a new job as directors of an orphanage near the border, ...The new pastors arrived.. two young men 18 and 19...Looks like we will be out there more than before now for sure.! We have also helped with VBS at Vida…70 children touched by the Lord…We were able to give each child a bottle of Bubbles and they had a teaching on how they are like the Holy Spirit. With some of the other goodies...I found several sets of Armor...that we used all week at VBS.
We have also been asked to help with the Video Department…(Did you know Vida is on TV? Seven days a week!).
Now this was all new…so we still have 3 Bible Schools going…2 more to begin this year, village Ministry, Youth to Youth program to restart and Mike is heading up to the Mountain Pastor for Vida as well…so we need to get to those pastors as well. and Prison Ministry... Nacho is still in Jail.. the church he is pastoring inside is up to 30...and we are going to take in some Bibles next month.
After reading this you can see why Satan was not happy about us coming home…. Please continue to pray for us. I (Becky) am having some issues with my Blood pressure. The Doctors in the States put me on meds…the Doctors here are reviewing everything…and also some meds for the blood sugar. Up and down... and still nothing is working.
In August I get that 2nd mammogram to see if that lump has grown any…that will be another apple cart!!!
Write soon... we can always use an encouraging word while in the midst of a Battle.
I've added some pictures here.. one is of Felix in Pocho recieving his new to him Accordian...the others are of all the Grandbabies...
