September Praise & Prayer



Hello everyone. The month of September has been the most devastating month. It breaks our heart to see what others here in México are going through after being hit by 2 major earthquakes and hurricanes hit all around the world.  We continue to pray that the Lord may bring peace and hope to all those who are going through these hard times. We ask that you may continue to keep México in your prayers.

Last month Hurricane Lydia hit ground and made some damage in Los Cabos, México. This is a 2-hour drive from where we currently live. Many buildings were destroyed and lives were taken. We thank God for His protection. We only received a strong tropical storm and everyone was okay. The church came together to donate to those in need down in Los Cabos, MX.

After 8 months of preparation, we finally have students around. This has been such a blessing to my wife and me. Being able to serve them has been a privilege.   These 11 months are going to be challenging.  We will be able to learn from each other, grow together and make a change for the kingdom of God. We will continue to keep you updated on what is going on here on campus.

The Lord is increasing the numbers at Calvary Chapel La Paz. We are thrilled to see the body inviting people and sharing. This month 4 people accepted Jesus for the very first time, and many of them had been attending our services for months.  It is also exciting to see others step up and serve!  God is doing some pretty awesome things with His people here in La Paz.

Thank you to all of those who pray for us.  Also to those who didn’t hesitate to see if we were okay during the hurricane.  We know that God has taken control of every situation. May he continue using all of us for His purpose.

On October 7th, we will have our first Young Adults group.  Please keep this new ministry in prayer. Louie and I will be coordinating this group.  Our desire is that the Lord raises up people within this group to eventually take over and lead.

We are moving out… again!! The Lord has been so good to us and has shown how deeply he cares for us in all circumstances. The next 3 months we will be living on the school campus. As we shared in our last newsletters, our financial situation was getting a little tough because of taxes. This will help us in so many ways to get back on our feet.  During this time, we will be looking for a new home.  Please pray as we wait for God to open a new place for us. 


We ask that you may send your prayer request.  We would love to hear from all of you!

First Newsletter

Hello all! I figured since I've been a missionary for over two years it was about time to write an update on what the Lord has been doing in Mexico, and in my life personally! Because this is my first newsletter, I want to give a quick background to what I have been up to for the past 2 years here in Mexico. ROSARITO On January 10th, 2014, God called me to Mexico. For six months I was in Rosarito, Mexico, serving at a church as an intern. Alongside six other guys, my responsibility was to clean the church, set up for events and bible studies, and be available to serve whenever possible. This was a really good time of humbling for me. I had been living a comfortable life style in U.S. and then I was living in a tiny apartment with 6 other guys cleaning a church everyday..... At first, I wasn't to excited. I felt like I was wasting my time. But then I realized that God was preparing me for something else. He needed to take those six months for me to realize that I

2019 has finally arrived and this month we celebrate 5 years of serving here in Mexico! We are so joyful for all that God has done these wonderful years. I do apologize for not writing updates for the past few months, but I would like to catch you up on some things that happened last year Blake: As many of you know last year I was praying about starting school in the Pastorship Training program here in La Paz. Well, in September of 2018 I began school. It has been such an amazing blessing to be able study the word of God, and I have learned so much.  Part of this program is that we get to do a Biblical Analysis. We go through every book of the bible and write a paragraph analysis for every major character, place, and event in the book. This is extremely time consuming and difficult, but I have personally seen what a huge blessing it is to dig through and study deeply in the scriptures. Through this schooling I have also felt the calling to one day be a Pastor. My Wi

GRADUATING FROM BIBLE COLLEGE

• SUMMER UPDATE • It has been a while since I last wrote a newsletter. So much has been going on and I would like to share that with you. After a year and a half  I finally graduate from La Huerta - Missions & Pastoral Ministry school. I could not be more thankful for everything that the Lord has taught  me and has allowed me to be part of. During this time I began to appreciate more the work of ministry. When entering this program my only desire was to learn more about His word and be able to share that with others and do ministry in a more effective way. I am grateful for all the teachers from here and those who traveled from far away to invest time to share their experiences and wisdom with us. My classmates inspired me so much in so many areas and I have the honor to be representing our class today as valedictorian. Through them God has graciously shown what ministry is all about. Ana, Her heart of compasión for others. When someone is in need  she is ready to
