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.”
From the Classroom to the Pulpit: A Powerful Trimester in Costa Rica
This past month marked the end of our first trimester in Costa Rica, and as we look back, we can clearly see God’s hand in every part of it. We have grown, been stretched, and had meaningful moments as a whole family.
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.
Life and Ministry in Costa Rica
Since early January, our family has been living in Costa Rica, where we are in a season of intensive spiritual, cultural, linguistic, missiological, and theological formation. This training season will continue through August, after which we will transition to Mexico City to begin the next phase of our assignment.
We Just Got Approved!
This last year has been quite a ride. To catch up, Kayla, our three young daughters, and I are selling our house, giving away our belongings, and moving to temporary housing while we itinerate. It may sound impractical to most people, but when you follow where God leads, He leads to incredible opportunities. And that is what we did: follow God.
