A Fresh Start






After a year of not keeping this blog up I am going to attempt it again. It was so frustrating not being able to blog (they block them along with other things) at the Mission and then while in the Philippines b/c having to use computers at internet cafes….I gave up. When we were back home I had good intentions but never followed thru. This time I hope I becomes a bit compulsive about it so you all can keep informed of our adventure. We're now back in Baja Norte Mexico. We spent a week visiting with our friends who work in the Migrant Camp ministry. Things are going well there and God is teaching and blessing those who works so hard. Then we spent ten days at FFHM ..Doug and Kathy in the gardens and myself at the Learning Center with the kids. I was glad they had moved into the new building as not seeing the faces of Javier and Feliciano was very difficult. We had a great time giving a Quinceanera for Maria who had turned fifteen. Loved being with old friends doing God's work. We are now at " The Station" our new home with Enrique and Ellie. It is only about 17 miles north of FFHM so we stay very connected with everyone there. In the pictures you can see what a lovely place it is. Ellie and Enrique's house, our two RV's, dorms, men and women's bathhouses and fellowship and kitchen. Landscaped beautifully by Pastor Mayito along with sheds and our vehicles. Have been very busy with two projects. First the organic Lasagna gardens…3 of them. They will feed us but more importantly be a model for FAITH Gardens (food always in the home). 2nd we are holding a Health Fair at the elementary school in Colonet on Oct 22nd. This includes a free dental checkup and 7 booths on nutrition, exercise, handwashing etc., which involves games and of course Lucy (Ellie) the clown. The teens from both the Colonet Church and FFHM along with women from the church and some of our friends will be doing the teaching. This is a major step in introducing CHE to the community. Although we are not able to talk about God we will be representing Him. Pastor Enrique is pastoring at both churches…here in Jaramillo and Colonet. So we are at church almost every night. On Mondays we lead a women's nutrition and exercise class at the Colonet church…with a spiritual core. We are seeing a good turnout. Enrique also teaches at the Bible School and preaches at two rehab canters, we love visiting there and seeing lives transformed by Jesus. So as you can see we have re-entered the ministry and lifestyle in Mexico. Please pray for us and the people we are working with. The enemy is always attempting to kill and destroy…but our God is Victorious! Enjoy the photos and God willing I will try to post often:)
