Happy VALENTINES DAY!

This is the month that we focus on Love… Love for each other. But we need to remember to focus on what Love is!!! It is Jesus Stretching out his arms on the cross dying for our Sins and guaranteeing us Eternal Life. That is Love and I don’t think I even have a clue yet, how to portray it to the Lost World.

Well, Mike did just that this month… He went into the Prison to visit a Pastor that was wrongly accused. In the process of gaining access to enter, he had to fill out paper work…turn in his cell phone and wallet (nothing goes in). Then they asked for ID. Mike gave him the Vida Credentials and the guard let him have it…. "SO YOU ARE A PASTOR HERE IN MX, SO WHY DON’T YOU COME PREACH TO THESE PEOPLE. THEY NEED TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD!" Well after explaining to the guard that he didn’t know how to get in and that this was his first time ever coming there. The guard walked away, leaving Mike sitting there wondering if he would ever see the outside again, since he had taken his ID and his cell phone. About 20 minutes later the guard walked back in and handed Mike a new ID… a pastor’s credential for the prison. He can now go as often as he likes to visit any of the people in the prison. Guess God opened another door for ministry!

Mike also got an open door to visit the MEXICANEROS. They are yet another tribe of Indians in the mountains. The Pastor from Tecuala took Mike with him for a 3-day outreach. Mike came back with a smile on his face! And later in the month when we took ISOM materials up for the school we went to our first MX Funeral. Rick actually spoke!

Rick Widener, from the ARC, has been with us the last 8 days of January. He has been a blessing as I have put him to work setting up our wireless network, when we didn’t have him sharing in services. I enjoy introducing our friends from the US to our friends in MX. The bridges that are built last way longer than those built with concrete!

This coming month is a short one but we will get a lot in! Your prayers and support make it possible for us to keep doing HIS work here.

We will be traveling most of April, May and June… If you want to get with us and have not already contacted us… Please do so…. We need to set our schedule so as not to overbook.

Until Next month…

Be Blessed as you are a Blessing!!!
