Cuernavaca, Morelos

Cuernavaca is known as the City of Eternal Spring. The climate is almost perfect year around. It is one hour south of Mexico City and is a beautiful place. Pastor Guillermo and Paty Lopez have been working here for several years and their congregation is growing.
Part of my calling is to encourage pastors. Here in this picture, several of the congregation members are surrounding their pastors and are praying for them. It's so nice to see a congregation loving on their pastors.
Don't get me mixed with Elvis, I do like from time to time to play with the band and get some hands clapping and feet stomping. I think some were evening dancing, oh my!
This young man is Fernando, he came for the first time and accepted Christ into his heart. This absolutely fills my heart with joy and makes it all worth while. There are angels rejoicing in the heavens to see a sinner come to Jesus.

This is Eli junior playing his role in a drama. Awesome to see children serving the Lord as well. Thanks for your prayers and support. Next week I will be in Cuernavaca ministering with my friend Memo Lopez.

Morelia 13th Aniversary

Hard to beleive that 13 years ago I started a cell meeting in Morelia. Eli Lopez was a drug addict and a drunk when he accepted Christ into his life. He now is the pastor of this thriving congregation.
Folks come to this church looking for hope and help from the Lord. I met several young people who have been delivered from Drugs and are now serving the Lord.
David said, " I will look to the hills from where my help comes from, my help comes from the Lord...." Jesus is the miracle worker and knows how to meet every need. His power is available to all who come to him.
Sunday evening was the aniversay party. These young people did an dramatic presentation that shook the house. This is a very non-traditional life changing church that attracts young people to Christ.

Mariano Escobedo, Mexico

Mariano Escobedo is a fishing town outside of Morelia. The people here work hard to make a living. There are many needs in this area. Thank God that Jesus is the specialist for all kinds of needs.

It is always good to give the Lord thanks for his wonderful deeds and works.

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith releases God's blessings in our lives.

One of the healings! Several others experienced life, power and love. Thanks for your prayers and support. This is a faith ministry with the backing from on high!

Variety of opportunities

Last night, I was blessed to share with 10 young men in a informal, open cell group session. We discussed ministry, discipleship and the need to win souls for Christ. I was impressed with the committment that each man has to Christ and their willingness to give their best for HIM. Each one is willing to give of themselves and their time to see their church grow and people come to the Lord. I saw the desire they have to learn and to be discipled and also to disciple others. One sows another waters and God gives the increase!

Church at a Mechanics Shop

On Sunday, June 7, 2009 I was invited to minister at a new Church in Irapauto. They started a few months ago and already have about 50 members. What a joy to see about 12 people accept Christ and experience God's awesome love and presence in their lives. Afterwards the pastor invited us to "Betos" Steak house and I had one of the best steaks ever. What a pleasure to be able to share the Gospel and enjoy a great meal.
