THAT'S RIGHT!!! GOD IS MOVING IN MEXICO

It has been several days since I have personally posted on this page, although a few people from Hulls Grove Baptist Church shared some of their thoughts. It's not because I didn't have anything to say, oh contra, there is to much to say and I didn't know how to shrink it into a few paragraphs. The team of eleven arrived last Sunday night and we headed to Mx, met the family, prayed with them and started building the house and God started building His Kingdom. It only took two days to build the house, thanks to Carmelo, Eliazar, Arturo and of course Inosensios' family and his uncle Carmelo. Wednesday morning we cooked 250 hot dogs before we went to Mx to give to all who would come in the afternoon. We had backpacks, school supplies and the team brought bibles and health kits for everyone as well. It was shaping up to be a great day with everything WE had planned. BUT GOD, was moving in the hearts of many people as we dedicated the house. Inocensio,his wife Sylvia, their 17 year old daughter Joanna, their other daughter Zuchil who is 8 and Uncle Carmelo all accepted Christ as Victor gave his testimony, Bobby shared the Gospel, and several of us also shared about Gods Love for them. Before long we all prayed and the whole family changed their eternal destination right before our eyes. The subject of Baptism came up and they all expressed a desire to get baptized that day. Nick was a member of the team from Hulls Grove Baptist and said that he hadn't been baptized since becoming a believer 2 years ago so we said, " why wait, today is the day to obey". So he said " LETS GO". While stopping at our house to pick up the food for the colonia, Arturo stopped me and expressed a desire to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. We prayed right then and there and we told him we going down to the canal to baptize 6 people and He was welcome to join us. He agreed and while down by the canal, his "wife" Carla was weeping as Arturo was getting baptized because she had been away from God for years and to see Arturo accept Christ and get baptized, she was ready to re- commit her life to follow Jesus and we baptized her as well. We had been sharing with both of them for years, in fact they live in the little shack on our lot and have for a few years. So is it worth it to invest your life and Gods resources in a squatter dump with people living under the oppression of poverty and the lack of the things we enjoy in America? Paula, Lynnea, Alan and I would shout a resounding YES after such a great day. In fact we shout a resounding YES every day, because we know, that we know, that we are all exactly where God wants us to be, and God rewards faithfulness!!! How about you? Are you where God wants you, doing what God wants you to do? Don't delay the call on your life, we don't have to much time left. Deny yourself and pick up the cross that Christ is asking you to carry, death to yourself is the only answer that will bring meaning and purpose to your life.
