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.
