Hi Friends!
Thanks to all of you for your prayers for us and the ministry here in Mexico City. Although we can't communicate as much as we would like, we very much need your prayers, as always.
God is giving us many challenges to navigate, reminding us that we need to trust in Him and seek His will in each situation. I'm especially motivated to write today to share about some upcoming events.
First, we are very excited that two of the churches here will be joining together for a special service this Sunday! A baptismal service! So please pray for each person who is following the Lord in baptism this Sunday. This is always a special time of testimony, but also sometimes a difficult time for those who have family and friends who are against their faith. Please pray for those being baptized, their family and friends, and also for the two churches that they would grow in love and faith as Jesus builds His church.
Second, our church will be joining another church (a different one - in another municipality) for a time of evangelism on Saturday, the 26th. The church, Mount Horeb Bible Church, will be having a VBS next week, and we will join them for the closing program. Family and friends will
be invited, and we will be sharing God's Word through drama, music, an object lesson, and one-on-one conversations. Please pray that we would share God's Word clearly.
And this is a praise as well! Praise the Lord for so many in our church, Path of Life Bible Church Las Palmas, who have jumped at the opportunity to serve together with our
sister church. A drama was written, props are being created, we will be practising music, preparing food - there's lots to do! And it's so encouraging to see so many
involved enthusiastically. :)
There are many more things I could share but won't - for the sake of keeping this email short, and in some cases because of confidentiality. But we do appreciate your
prayers in general for wisdom, health, and strength as we serve the Lord day by day.

Jim的母亲在他三、四岁时带领他信主。Shari 七岁时在学校学习一些关于天堂和地狱的圣经话语时，她回到家中与父母谈论这事，父母便带领她信主。我们赞美主的怜悯！
1998年，我们开始在一个需要前往世界各地，以专注于戏剧和音乐事工的高中和大学生团队中作全职事工培训服侍，2003年，我们加入了CAM International，即现在的Avant。这两个宣教机构均于 1800 年代末期成立，共同拥有向失丧的人传达好消息的使命。
我們目前在Avant 的角色
我们目前是墨西哥城东南部 Ixtapaluca的植堂者。这项事工包括透过社区中心外展、传福音、查经班、门训以及与该地区志同道合的教会和宣教机构建立联系来服务社区。墨西哥的这个地区是美洲最少接触福音的地区，却是世界上人口最多的城市地区之一。
有关 Avant
自 19 世纪以来，Avant 一直致力于接触未得之民，在过去 130 年里建立了数百个教会。今天，世界上仍有许多没有教会和未闻福音之地，Avant 的异象是透过迅速建立和发展教会来引领人到永生，而带来永恒的改变。我们和数百位宣教士，透过在全球 50 个国家所「建立和发展教会」的事工上一同事奉主。
