Week two of Mexico

        Its only the begining of week two of the world race and God is breaking my heart for his people already. Its hard to be in a place where you cant speak the same language but you still try to convey the love of christ to a hurting place. Today was our first offical day of actual ministy. We went to a church service and lead some songs, spoke and did a drama. Mexico has very little envangelic christians so it was refreshing to meet with people who believe the same thing.

   

       At the church the service lasted over two hours long. Imagine a two hour long service and then imagine a two hour long service not speaking the same language. It was very hard but there was something about the power of the holy spirit there. It was real. There was a blind lady and we prayed that she might see. I have complete faith that some day the lord will give this lady sight. He wants here to see the beauty of his creation. 

   

       My prayer for the last few weeks is that God would break my heart for what breaks his. That line is a line in a song by Hillsong united. I want to see the world through Gods eyes. The people here are hurting and want the hope of christ.

      

       This might be my last blog for a few weeks because my team is going to be venturing into a remote village in Mexico. The people of this villiage dont speak spanish even, so its going to be very challenging. We have to speak spanish to a translator (Marcous) who is going to translate it to their language. Its hard because i cant even speak spanish well. In this villiage we are going to they dont have electricty. We have to live out of our tents and eat whatever they cook us. The people of this villiage have been persucuted for their faith. In the 90´s rebeals came through and killed any christians they could. It is going to be a very strethcing week but im ready for God to do some big things. Please be praying for my team as we do this journey.

    

    The lord has really been speaking to me as well about my confidence. I never really relized what lack of confidence i have in myself. I put fears of the world above the fear of the lord. In the bible it tells us the fear of the lord is the begining of knowledge. Im not scared of the world anymore. Im going to use this year to be bold for the lord. I will have to be bold to share the gospel.

 

     I also found out where we are going next month. We are going to a city on the Carribean coast in Guatamala. I heard its beautiful there. There something about the beauty of Gods creation that gets me. We will be working with an american contact. He has a radio station there so we get to do that and work and work with children. Im really excited but when i know more info i will inform you.

Just of few pics……
