My dear Brothers
and Sisters, we hope that you are all well and blessed by our Lord. It has been
such a great privilege to have been able to partner with you all in another
month of service to the Lord. Thank you so much for your many prayers and much
support. We greatly appreciate all that you helped us do in the month of March
for the honor and glory of God. Through this letter we hope to inform you of
some of the activities that took place in the Lord’s ministry of Dios Me Ve. We
also hope to encourage you to continue to be a part of all that the Lord will
continue to do in the Congregation and community of the Colonia 89.
On March 23rd we
had the great blessing of being able to receive the visit of our Brothers and
Sisters in Christ of Calvary Chapel Victorville. Our sisters planned a women’s
conference for the women of the congregation of Dios Me Ve and of the community
of the Colonia 89. The theme for the conference was “Mujeres Guerreras”; the
teachings and testimonies that were shared by some of our Sisters in Christ
from Victorville and from Dios Me Ve were such a blessing for the women that
attended the conference. Throughout each teaching our sisters spoke of the
importance of prayer and intersession for our family, friends and loved ones. It
was great to see how the Lord was speaking to the lives of each one of His
daughters and encouraging them to rise up as prayer warriors. While our sisters
were having their conference the men were helping with some construction work
around the buildings of Dios Me Ve. After the teachings we were all able to
enjoy a blessed time of fellowship over lunch. It was a truly blessed day for
everyone.
On March 24th
the blessings continued as the Lord once again allowed us to partner with our
brothers and sisters of Calvary Chapel Victorville to bless the children of the
Colonia 89. Our brothers and sisters prepared a special message and video for
the children of the community. As the children heard the message of the gospel
and watched the video that was prepared for them we could see that they were
all paying close attention. During the Prayer time some of the children openly
expressed their desire to know Jesus and accept the gift of Salvation. Lord
willing those children will continue to grow with that burning desire in their
hearts and devote their lives to serving the Lord where ever He may lead them.
After the teachings our brothers
and sisters had some fun games and activities set up for the kids. They had
competitions, three legged races, face Paint, sack races and so much more. The
Children were able to enjoy themselves and for a few hours forget about their
troubles at home. We were so blessed to see so many smiling faces that day. Even
some of the adults that accompanied their children were able to join in on the
blessing; we could see some of them laughing as they saw their kids enjoying
themselves. After all the fun that was had, both children and adults were able
to enjoy a great lunch prepared by the hands of our brothers and sisters in
Christ of Dios Me Ve and CC Victorville. Please help us pray that the seeds
that were planted in the children’s hearts that day can grow and lead them to
the Lord so that they too can have the gift of Salvation and escape that cycle
of drugs and violence that many of their families are living in. Please
continue to keep us and the children of the Colonia 89 in your prayers. Pray
that the Lord may continue to keep them safe and that He may guide us in our
discipleship and our efforts to try and reach the children for Christ.
