Here in Puebla

We made it to the EV Missions Base last night about 11:30, and had a strong day with the Vina School.

Great to be here again. Good friends.

We are here for four nights total. We will shoot for a video update soon.

Your prayers for us are appreciated and we are feeling their effects.

Blessings,

Quick Mexico Update

Just a quick heads up for all you who are praying for us.  We really appreciate your prayers.

We are doing well and are in Cuernavaca at the moment.  We had the last few days in Northern Mexico, which is known for it's insecurity and violence.  Thank the Lord, and the support of His praying people, we passed thru without incident.

Approaching the Limits

We approach the border of Mexico, and as we do, we put behind us a fifteen hundred mile road trip. Won't see that again for a few weeks, thankfully.

Some thousands of miles (which will largely be covered by plane) still lay ahead of us, what awaits us is not completely known. Matamoros, Monterrey, Cuernavaca, Puebla, Oaxaca, back to Monterrey.

Pray for us. We are hopeful about our time, and serious minded. Please pray that we will give and receive with an open and loving heart, and that God Himself will be glorified.

Updates forthcoming as access permits.

Many thanks,
