DIOS ME VE JUNE NEWSLETTER


Our dearest Brothers and Sisters; thanks to God we have concluded another month of service to the Lord in His ministry of Dios Me Ve. Here is a summary of some of the many activities that the Lord allowed us to do as a family and ministry during the month of June. We greatly appreciate all your prayers and support during this month, it has all been a huge help and such a great blessing. We pray the Lord continues to abundantly bless you all with the best of His blessings; the Lord grant you all abundant joy, peace, love and grace to continue to live each day in gratitude representing Him justly as His children.




During the month of June the Lord has allowed us to be blessed by the life of Enrique, who has recently come home after concluding the 2 year bible studies program in the New Tribes Missions Bible Institute in Chihuahua. During this month Enrique has been helping with some of the Bible teachings in Dios Me Ve; he has also been praying and sharing with our family in Christ the vision that the Lord has placed in his heart. Initially Enrique set his heart on only completing the 2 year bible studies program at the institute, after which he had planned to return home and serve as a full time staff in Dios Me Ve. However, during the course of his studies the Lord has changed his plans marvelously; He placed in Enrique’s heart the desire to do what few want to do, the Lord has called him to invest his life in sharing the gospel with an indigenous tribe. He has been called to live amongst the people of an indigenous tribe, to learn their language, to translate the bible into their language and to share the gospel with them. This of course is a life time of work for the Lord that he will need to better prepare for so, in faith, he has decided to return to Chihuahua this coming August to enroll in a 2 year missions program in which he will learn all the skills he needs to carry out the vision that the Lord has given him. Please continue to pray for Enrique as he seeks to fulfill the Lord’s will in his life.



This past month the Lord also gave me (Pastor Hector) the blessing of going back to Oaxaca, Mexico. Truly this trip was a great help and encouragement to my personal life. I would like to express my gratitude to all those that are our partners in the ministry of Dios Me Ve. You make possible these trips of discipleship and fellowship with all our Brothers and Sisters in the city of Oaxaca. It was sincerely a trip that was different from all the rest; I was able to see our brothers encouraged to receive our visit as they shared their excitement with us with words and actions of gratitude to God. Pastor Francisco from Tierra Blanca, Oaxaca told me “I knew you would come back brother Hector; the whole church has been praying for yours and Danny’s life so that you guys could return once again”. I thought about our brothers and sisters that partner with us in the Lord’s ministry of Dios Me Ve, all those who come with such a great amount of encouragement and enthusiasm to fellowship, serve and pray with us for all that the Lord continues to do; it is truly such a blessing.




During our trip we did some work on the 10 houses that we had built on our first trip to Oaxaca but even as we were working I couldn’t help noticing the great need that the ministers in those regions have, the same need that other ministers in all of Mexico might also have, which is the need to hear and know that we are not alone in the ministry that God has given each one of us in our distinct areas of service to our Creator. I know that God is with us and with every minister in Oaxaca but it is so great to receive a visit and be able to hear “We are with you in prayer and in whatever you need, God will continue doing His works, stay strong in your Faith”. It was an encouragement to see everyone motivated with a great gratitude to God for allowing us to fellowship and pray together for guidance and the fulfillment of the Lord’s will in our lives. If God wills it, we will return to Tierra Blanca, Oaxaca in the future to be able to see the faces of our brothers and embrace them. Thank you so much for your prayers and words of encouragement, I was able to see what they do in the face of the minister that needs to hear that he is not alone.



During June we were also blessed to have had the visit of some of our brothers in Christ from the congregation of Living Truth Christian Fellowship. Our brothers came to Dios Me Ve to bless us with their amazing service and skills in the installation of the electricity in the new restrooms of Dios Me Ve. Since early morning our brothers drove down to be able to help us with this need. They were hard at work all day in order to get all the electricity up and running so that the restrooms could have light for our Wednesday night services.




It was such a great time of work and fellowship amongst each other; we are so grateful to the Lord for the lives of our brothers in Christ, who leave the comfort of their homes to be a blessing to others. It is always such a great encouragement to have our family in Christ come and encourage us with their visits. Our dear family in Christ, we would like to once again remind you that we greatly appreciate all that you do in service to the Lord. We would also like to remind you that you are all welcome to come and visit us at Dios Me Ve ministries, we would love to be able to fellowship with you all and serve the Lord together.



This month the Lord also gave the congregation of Dios Me Ve the opportunity of being a blessing to others. During the month we received a call from our brothers of the ministry of Hands of Mercy, they asked us for help to clean and give maintenance to the ranch. We of course extended the invitation to the congregation of Dios Me Ve whom quickly gave a positive response and were more than happy to lend a hand to our brothers in Christ of Hands of Mercy. On that day approximately 40 adults and children headed out from Dios Me Ve to the ranch in order to help our brothers in Christ. While at the ranch each person was tasked with different activities, some cut down bushes and trees, others moved wood, tools and materials while others cleaned the various parts of the ranch. All this was done so that the ranch could continue to be safely used by the different ministries and congregations that visit it.




After a hard day of work the Lord gave us a great lunch and an amazing time of fellowship in the pool. Everyone was able to relax and have fun while the kids and some adults jumped and splashed in the pool. It was all truly such a blessed day for everyone. We too were blessed to see the great heart of service of the congregation of Dios Me Ve and their amazing willingness to bless others just as they too have been greatly blessed. Please continue to pray for the congregation of Dios Me Ve so that their desire to serve and help others may continue to grow.

Thank you all so much for sticking by us in another amazing month of service to the Lord. You are all such a fundamental part of all that we are able to do as a family and a ministry in the Colonia 89 and its surrounding areas. We truly hope you once again feel it in your hearts to continue to partner with us during the month of July.

With love,

Your family in Christ of Dios Me Ve Ministries.
