Serving the LORD with Casa Vida y Esperanza in
Magdalena, Mexico
Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:23, 24)
Main Duties:
Teacher; Bible studies in the community
Prayer Requests:
For the Lords saving and mighty work in the lives of the CVE children (past, current, and future), their families, the staff, those who come to church here in Magdalena, and work team members.
For an increase in the understanding and knowledge of God and His Word, the fear of the Lord among the people of Magdalena.
For us to be clear reflections of Christ to all those around us; for the Holy Spirit to work powerfully in and through us in all that we do.
For our Spanish language development so that we can effectively share Gods Word.
For protection from evil and Satans attacks, his plans of destruction; for Satans lies to be exposed and replaced with Truth.
For God to be greatly magnified through the work here, that His name would be lifted up, and that all who see it would know that He alone is God.
