Honduran migrant says that beans and tortillas are food for pigs

This video has become in-famous in Mexico because as everyone knows, in Mexico we love refried beans. Even in many parts of Mexico they are considered a luxury that cannot always be afforded.

Alma and I visited with Raul, a 27 year old man sitting on a sofa outside his apartment in la Anza. After a few questions, he shared that he expected he would get into heaven because, well, he hadn't done anything exceptionally bad. So, after looking at a few of the Ten Commandments, he changed his story, confessing his guilt and inability to enter heaven. So, after presenting the love of God sending Jesus to the cross to pay the penalty for his sins, we asked if he was ready to repent and trust Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He then brought up this story of the Honduran and the beans. We can be so ungrateful sometimes, like the Honduran and the beans. I don't want to be like that, and so we prayed together. Pray for Raul and his wife Itza, and the people of the migrant caravan.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus    November 2018

First of all we apologize for not communicating before hand.

After three months in Minneapolis at the WMPL mission home we had a very special time as part of our home assignment, we lived, learned, prayed, shared, ate, met new brothers and reconnected with very dear friends after a long time.

We thank God for this opportunity, and all his blessings and watchful care over us as we traveled there and back and many days on the road. Thank God for each one of you; Your friendship, prayers and for being partners with us in the proclamation of the Gospel in Mexico.

We returned renewed, with a new vision and desire to go out to work in the vineyard of the Lord, but with the same message ... CRISTO! Although the two of us arrived sick, we thank God that we are getting better.

We have no words to thank the churches and their pastors for their invitations, letting us share and for joining as partners in prayer. It was a great honor and pleasure to be with you. Thank you for your offerings and time, may God bless your congregations and reward your work.

On the other hand, the Nogales border is quiet up to now, only more heavily reinforced entrances with razor wire and making them higher and there is a good group of military and Border Patrol agents at the main entrance, but we had no problem crossing, with the exception of a more detailed inspection. The largest number of people in the caravans have taken the route through Tijuana BC on the border with San Diego, CA, where there has been some violence between the Mexicans and the people who are trying to enter the United States, mostly Hondurans, because they are ungrateful and disrespectful even though Mexico has given them a lot of help.

The churches in Nogales gave us a warm welcome and those in the interior of Mexico as well. We hope that we can go to each of them for a time next year, God willing, we will also find them encouraged to learn and make changes, to God be the glory!

We wish you all a happy thanksgiving, blessed Christmas and the peace of Jesus.

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Please pray for us!

As we came back from Minnesota with renewed vision and desire to serve the Lord, we are facing a lot of attacks against our bodies as Darwin has had fever, body aches, lack of energy, not being able to eat well and I have a crocked back and pain that doesn't let me move, walk or stand straight for days. We just want to ask you to join us in prayer, for the glory of God and the extension of His Kingdom.

Sow your seed in the morning,
and at the evening let your hands not be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well.   Eccl. 11:6

We just want to be able to do that.

Thank you and God bless you all.

Back in Nogales again!

It feels good to be back in Nogales again after three months in Minneapolis. What a wonderful time with had! We are so thankful to everyone for hosting us, sharing with us, feeding us, and allowing us to share with you.

It was good to see everyone at la Anza on Sunday. We're thankful for this faithful group of believers. Now we are going to begin to show them a way that we can multiply ourselves to reach more for the kingdom of God.
