It is such an honor to work along side of other missionaries that have the same passion and assignment from God. Roy and Rebecca Busby had a team that wanted to spend a week in the colonia, but because of limited funds, they could not build a house. Well because of the grace of God working through a businessman back in the Chicago area, the funds were available to build a house, but we didn't have team. So Roys group built the house that came from one of our generous donors. They had the house built in two days in spite of 100 plus temperatures. Paula and Ruth put together some things to decorate the house and I ordered 4 new beds for the family. While they were busy decorating, we were joining in some praise and worship songs.Before we handed over the keys, Winchester shared with the family about how this house is a miracle from God and the people that built it, give all glory to Jesus. Doris has two teenage daughters Rebbeca and Reyna. Reyna gave here heart to Jesus the day before yesterday, and today her older sister Rebbeca melted into a pool of tears as we shared the good news of the Gospel with her. All forty of us knelt on the ground as the girls prayed to receive everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ.
That afternoon, the two girls came by Roy and Rebbecas place and told them of their desire to start a new way of life following Jesus. They confessed the way of life they had been leading, being sex slaves to some very unsavory people and they were going to go and tell them that they would no longer be offering their bodies up to them. This could very well mean that they could be placing themselves in harms way, but they feel led to do it. Oh how we need to pray for their protection for their bold stance!!!
As many of you have read on our blog and are aware of our friend David Laras cancer battle, he is home and in a coma and unresponsive, but we still pray that Gods voice would pierce the darkness and touch him in a way that only God can. We are helping Angie with all of the loose ends of their business that is coming to an end, without David running it. Please continue to pray for them as we try to move forward with all that needs to be done. I almost feel like we are not walking in faith as we prepare for Davids home going, while he still lives. It's so hard to watch this unfold and we cry out for Gods Mercy everyday.
Gabe, Roy , Andrew and me went and help load Dawn and her two kids belongings into my trailer as they prepare to move to Waco TX. Nothing more enjoyable than loading furniture when it's 104 degrees outside and 120 in the trailer. It almost all fit, and Dawns brother will come and take the trailer to Waco in a day or two. I almost decided to take it up myself, but we have to much to do in Mexico the next few days.
