Upon leaving the house sometimes we will go perhaps less than three blocks when someone will come up to us presenting a need that they have. On ocassion with tears in their eyes they will share that they are out of gas and have no way to cook, other times they may be out of food, or there is some medicine that they are out of and cannot afford. Or it may be that the roof on their house is falling in. Still at other times the need will be spiritual. they have family problems, or something has happened and they are in need of prayer or counceling. There is neither end, nor limit to the need that we see around us day to day.

 

Though we always help when we are able, there are occasions when our hearts are broken as we listen to their request, and we stand there knowing that this time we don't have the ability to meet their need. Paul and I pray and ask the Lord that we would not fail in anything. That God would use us to be a blessing in the lives of those we meet. Our desire is that as we are able to meet their physical needs, that it will be an opening in the door to their hearts to meet their spiritual needs as well. This I think is the ultimate goal. To touch lives and bring them into the kingdom of God.

 

I want to tell you that we are so grateful for all the many people who have answered the call of God to come down to Mexico and share in the work of the Lord. We have been so blessed to know so many people who come to share with us their time, their God given talents and abilities, their finances, and the wisdom and knowledge that the Lord has placed in them. To all of you I say, "Muchos Gracias!"

 

We know you pray for us, we thank God for your prayers, and I want you to know that we also continue to pray for you. We pray that God would multiply his blessings in your lives as he has in ours. Together, we will continue to be about the Fathers business.

 

God bless you all,

 

Teresa
