Arrived Safely......and More

Dear Beloved,
Your team arrived safely in Vincente Guererro this afternoon at 4:00pm.   Our day started at 6:00am at Crossway and it was a long one.....but we rejoice in the Lord's protective hand in our travels and His power in the Gospel for His glory.

Thank you for coming out to the church at the break of dawn to pray with and see us off.  We remain humbly indebted to all of you for your ongoing support in every way.  We give thanks to God.

The travel down south was slightly blemished with a few wrong turns and delays, but in the end, we all arrived safely at the compound of Heart Ministries.  The only hazzard was a cracked front windshield due to a rock coming off of a truck tire.  No worries, all is well - which brings us to the power of His Gospel.

At our first stop in TJ where all 9 vans gathered at a rest stop to ensure that everyone made it past the border checkpoint, Ana Walker and Rosie Yokomizo had a God moment  with a woman who was weeping in the restroom.  She was full of despair due to the murder of her 14 year old son just 8 months ago.  Ana was there to share God's love with her, and the power of His love overcame this desperate lady.  She gave her life to Jesus and entered into an eternal relationship with God.  Amen.  And we were all reminded of the reason why we are called to serve in Baja.  Beloved, please pray for her and for us.

Part of the team made a special trip to visit the family that we served last year.  They welcomed us graciously and humbly.  It was such a sweeet reunion.  We also visited the family that we will be building a house for this week. They were equally grateful for us coming and our parting words were,"Hasta Manana" after we had the wonderful privilege of praying with them.

So we are safe and excited to begin our mission tomorrow morning.  Thank you for your love and prayers which sustain us.  Gracias !

And we will praise him.
Your Baja Team

The teams from Crossway and Community Christian Alliance Churches.  A big team and a big God.  We trust in all that God will do through us.  Amen.

Lunch at Costco's in Ensenada.  Just like in America except for a hot dog going for $50.....but it's really in pesos....around $2.

 Jonathan with the family that we will build the house for beginning tomorrow.  Humble, thankful, and amazed at such generosity from strangers......but not for long.  We already share a kindred spirit with them.  Praise God.

This is the family that we built a house for last year.  They were so glad to see us again.  How we love them so.  Your support in prayers and finances made it all possible.  Thank you.
