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.

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

Blessing Friends and Family,                 It has been so wonderful to serve the Lord here in Mexico! Last month, we celebrated our first year of marriage and I couldn’t thank God enough for bringing my gorgeous wife in to my life. It has been an incredible blessing to be able to serve together. Thank you for sending out your prayers and please send us any prayer request that you may have! Here are some recent pictures that we took here in La Paz. Calvary Chapel La Paz Our Church is Full -  It fills us with so much joy to   see the congregation growing at Calvary Chapel La Paz. The Lord has been faithful to bring new members to our church.

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.  James 4:14 NLT Hey Everyone, this month we will like to share something that God spoke to our lives. At the beginning of the month we had plans to meet with a couple from the church to have dinner. As we were waiting outside for them to arrive, suddenly, we heard gunshots. When we thought it was all over, the shooting continued more intensely. Everyone immediately ducked down and got inside the restaurant as fast as they could.  We rushed upstairs, got on our knees and started to pray, asking God for everyone's safety. We later found out that a man was murdered and his wife was rushed in to the hospital. Neither of us had experienced anything like this, but God allowed us to realize that tomorrow is not promised for anyone. Everyday is truly a gift from heaven. We can get so caught up with our busy lives, that we forget to stop and thank
