A New Season of Ministry in Mexico
What a busy few weeks it has been! Since our last update, we have had opportunities to preach at churches, serve fellow missionaries, travel to other communities, and continue building relationships here in Mexico City. We are grateful for every opportunity and excited to see how God is leading us in this new season.
Ministry Highlights…
Saying Goodbye to Costa Rica, Saying Hello to Mexico
The past several weeks have been full of transition, celebration, and new opportunities for our family. We finished our time of training in Costa Rica, moved to Mexico City, celebrated Naomi’s birthday, and made a quick trip back to Texas for my ordination. Now that we are settling into life in Mexico City, we are excited about the ministry opportunities God is opening before us. As you read through this update, we also ask you to keep an eye out for an important prayer request at the end.
God Is Faithful
Thank you for continuing to pray for us during our time of preparation in Costa Rica. Each month, we are reminded that God is faithfully shaping our family for the work ahead in Mexico City. Here are a few highlights from the last couple of months.
At the beginning of June, we had an opportunity to learn from missionaries and church planters serving throughout Latin America. One of our mentors challenged us to continually align ourselves with what God is already doing rather than asking Him to bless our own plans.
We were reminded that church planting is not a one-time act, but a lifelong commitment of sowing, trusting, and faithfully following the Lord. As John 12:24 says: “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”
Running the Race Together
Each month we are reminded how much your partnership matters, not only in the big ministry moments, but also in the everyday experiences of learning language, building relationships, and discovering how God is opening doors in unexpected ways.
We're Commissioned as Missionary Associates!
We are thrilled to announce that our missions sending agency, Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM), officially commissioned us as Missionary Associates in June! We spent two and a half weeks in Springfield, Missouri, along with 100+ missionaries, receiving training that challenged, equipped, and inspired us to continue pursuing God's call to reach Mexico with the gospel.
God is Good, and So Are His People
We use this phrase quite often in our home; it sums up our experience with God and the church. God is inherently good. He's a loving father full of love, compassion, and mercy. We have experienced His love and presence firsthand.
Though the church is made of imperfect people, it is the conduit God chose to make His name known. Kayla and I are both children of the church.
