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的母親在他三、四歲時帶領他信主。Shari 七歲時在學校學習一些關於天堂和地獄的聖經話語時，她回到家中與父母談論這事，父母便帶領她信主。我們讚美主的憐憫！
1998年，我們開始在一個需要前往世界各地，以專注於戲劇和音樂事工的高中和大學生團隊中作全職事工培訓服侍，2003年，我們加入了CAM International，即現在的Avant。這兩個宣教機構均於 1800 年代末期成立，共同擁有向失喪的人傳達好消息的使命。
我們目前在Avant 的角色
我們目前是墨西哥城東南部 Ixtapaluca的植堂者。這項事工包括透過社區中心外展、傳福音、查經班、門訓以及與該地區志同道合的教會和宣教機構建立聯繫來服務社區。墨西哥的這個地區是美洲最少接觸福音的地區，卻是世界上人口最多的城市地區之一。
有關 Avant
自 19 世紀以來，Avant 一直致力於接觸未得之民，在過去 130 年裡建立了數百個教會。今天，世界上仍有許多沒有教會和未聞福音之地，Avant 的異象是透過迅速建立和發展教會來引領人到永生，而帶來永恆的改變。我們和數百位宣教士，透過在全球 50 個國家所「建立和發展教會」的事工上一同事奉主。
