Heart breaking

On a daily basis a missionary is hit by cries for help. The need in the world is so great. People needing more than a prayer as well wishes. People need help! If I were to keep track of the amount of finances that I give to people in need I´m sure I would be shocked. It is important for one to be sensitive to the real needs that are presented and to discern those who are out for a quick fix to their problems. I try not to have a hard heart towards the real needs. I understand that I cannot fix everybodies problems but the compassion of the Lord compels one to give. Missionaries don´t have abundance of finances. We use wisely what we have to administer. Compassion though is a powerful source. I hope that I will never lack in that area!

Radio Program

My desire to blog comes and goes. There are moments when I feel an inspired to write something and other times I wonder what is the use! In a way we are all called to be missionaries. We all live in our own little world and we touch lives in the place that we live. There are others though who leave their homeland to go to a place where there is a need for the Gospel message. When I arrived in Saltillo the first man I met told me about a spot at the radio station and offered to pay for the first two programs if I wanted to get involved. Since that day I have not missed a radio program. The gospel of Christ has been clear and lives have been touched through this effort. I meet people every week who listen to the programs and tell me how it has blessed their lives. Our church has grown as a result of the radio effort and our ministry is respected in Saltillo and beyond. I am blessed to be able to touch the lives of hurting people. Lives who need hope and faith to go forward. Thank you for praying for us and for believing in what we are doing for Christ. Blessings to you!!

What a priviledge to dedicate Diana Zoeli this morning! The daughter of pastor Eli and Diana Lopez in Morelia. She is a blessing and will bring joy to many lives. May she grow to be a mighty woman of God.

Visiting Morelia, Michoacan

This weekend I am visiting Centro Internacional Agua Viva en Morelia Michoacan. I started this church about 20 yrs ago in Carmelitas home. Since then the group has grown and has touched thousands of lives under the leadership of Pastors Eli and Diana Lopez. Today I will be dedicating Eli´s baby girl in the morning service and ministering a conference on Healing and Deliverance in the evening. The Holy Spirit is moving in Mexico in the midst of violence. It is great to see a harvest of souls coming into the kingdom of God.
