Another exciting thing is vision. Talk about vision has been at the forefront of many conversations lately. “The Power of Vision” class has come at a perfect time as we are perfecting the vision for our Mexican Organization as well as helping the students determine more clearly what the Lord wants to do through them once they have finished the required amount of classes in order to graduate. It’s been really exciting to hear how God has been speaking to people. This has become something very essential as we “Raise up Leaders in Rural Mexico.” My passion is to help people reach towards their leadership potential. Many of us are afraid to take risks and I’m so excited to see how everyone is growing! A couple of weeks ago as I was reading in Proverbs 13, a verse stood out to me that alludes to this. You can read my thoughts here.
On the contrary to these exciting things, a beloved friend, mother, and grandmother went to be with the Lord this month. Paula Vega was 55 and slipped away as they began to operate on her. Many of you donated towards’ the family’s financial need and they received almost exactly what they needed. The Franco-Vega family thanks you and are very grateful to all of you who prayed for them and helped them.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever!
Thank you for your prayers for our family and ministry as we walk through challenges and victories. We really appreciate your participation.
In our last update, asked you to pray for...
- Bible School. This quarter has been very productive and exciting. The students are really enjoying the Theology class as well as being challenged in the Vision class.
- Music Ministry (Worship). Praise the Lord! Through the vision class, a couple of people have mentioned that this is something they’d like to get involved in and see developed more. I’m all for them doing this!!!
- The Mission in Cofradía. Thank you for your prayers. It turns out that the change that was to take place has been reconsidered and we are no longer in need of the change.
- Mexican Civil Association. No new news here; we’re still where we were at a month ago. Thanks for your continued prayers.
