What a week we had in Mexico. We returned exausted yet full. It is such a good feeling to know that we went and gave everything we had to offer. Now we pray for those dear people and look forward to seeing them again soon.
Here are a few final thoughts from those on the team.
"It was beautiful to see the community bathroom finished this year. This year we did a lot of everything around the facility. It was blessing to come along side our brothers and sisters in Christ and be able to take some of the load off of them if only for a week.
We also returned to Thermoelectric for another Bible study. We were so blessed to see God’s harvest increased. There were 15 ladies this year and we studied Hebrews 12:1-2. Let us all be encouraged by the great cloud of witnesses surrounding us and as we run, let us run with endurance and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus."
"This was another wonderful year at Casa de Paz. It was such a blessing to do projects of play with the kids, talk with staff, help out, etc. The children have such a love for them and we know it is the work of the Lord through David and Karen and the staff here working for the glory of God. It was wonderful to see the kids’ excitement when launching rockets. At thermoelectric, again it was a blessing to do another Bible study and see how it has grown from 4 last year to 15 this year.
A couple in San Antonio de las Minas, Monica and Andy, were such a blessing to work with. They have a beautiful gift of hospitality and such a love of the Lord it is humbling.
Thank you Cas de Paz for the hosting us and praise you, Jesus, for blessing this time in our lives."
"Thank you, Lord, for giving me the opportunity to serve the children and staff of Casa de Paz. Please bless them and keep them and let them know there are prayers being lifted up for their sake from Fresno, CA. Also, God, please don’t let any of the stuff I built to fall apart. Praise God!"
"This has been a wonderful time of fellowship and service in God’s work. What a blessing it is to be able to come down with brothers and sisters in Christ, to love and serve others. God, thank you for the time and the grace you have provided us. I pray that we will continue to look to you as we go back to our hometowns to minister and serve others. Please Lord, also may you continue to watch over the children and fellowship here. May you help them grow in the grace and knowledge of you. Thank you Jesus! Amen."
"Thank you Father in heaven for this wonderful opportunity to share your love with others. I will remember this moment for ever. My eyes have been opened to so many things about the human heart. All the children and staff have blessed my soul. This is a treasure I will hold in heaven. I will keep you, Casa de Paz, in my prayers and may the Lord Jesus Christ keep you."
