MARCH PRAISE AND PRAYER LETTER



Hey everyone!
This year seems to be going by fast! Thank God we've been busy during this time and we have enjoyed seeing all that God is doing her in La Paz.
Last month we wrote about Bridges Conversation Club, a new project that the Lord had placed to reach the young adult community. This Club allows others to come out to the church and practice their english skills with board games and conversations. We are there to give them feedback and build relationships.
We started on February 24th. That day new people didn’t show up, but it was a good practice run. We were able to see where we could improve.
Week 2: We had 5 new people!
Week 3: We welcomed 15 new people!
Week 4: We had 10 new people!
Some have been very consistent others have come every once in a while. But so far we’ve had a group of 20 - 25 people each week!
God is doing amazing things! Nestor, Blake, and I are blessed to be leading this club! Please check out the Facebook page. (Link Below) Nestor has used his gift and talents to make this page look incredible. The majority of people have found our club through Facebook!
In others news, Blake has done an incredible job at bible school. This will be his 4th class and has done very well in all of them! He is still falling a little behind. He has other obligations in the church and it's hard for him to keep up with everything. Please keep him in your prayers that he stays diligent in his work.
The church is doing pretty great! After the opening of our second service we have been able to see some growth! We have an average of 100 people coming out every weekend!
Prayer Request:
1.- Bridges. Pray for new leaders to step up and lead small groups within the club! And that through this club these young adults could see more of God’s love for them.
2.- Calvary Chapel La Paz. That the congregation would be even more committed and others could step up and serve in various areas.
3.- Personal prayer request. My family has been going through various trials. Thank God He allowed me to visit part of my family for two days. Pray that we continue to trust in His will and continues to give us His peace through this hard time.
Here is the page to Bridges if you would like to stop by and visit.

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
