I’m so thankful for you all! I’ve received a few envelopes from letters some of you have sent, and I just want to say THANK YOU, for your support, prayers and your love in so many ways! It really means so much to me, it’s such a strength in my heart to see that you trust part of your life in me, that you trust in my response to God’s call, that you have faith in what God is doing in and through me, that encourages me so much! When I read Paul’s letters I understand so much his constant encouragement and uplifting of spirit, it’s hard to be away from your spiritual family, and again I thank God greatly for you, His provision is so complete, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically.
I’m playing soccer again, I’m so happy for that! I’m playing Saturdays with the same team as I was before, and now we are even training on Sunday mornings, so I’m praying this time we are having together may provide with opportunities to minister to them. I feel we now have more confidence with each other, so I want to take another step and start praying with them and for their petitions, so please pray that God prepares their heart and mine.
God is uniting His people for His purposes in a powerful way, and we are experiencing that with a few friends, it’s such a beautiful thing, because we all attend to different churches but God has brought us together to combine our passion for Him and talents to serve Him. We all love to spread God’s message, and we already had a trip on December having a medical clinic, with free check up and medicine, puppet show for the kids sharing the message of Salvation, soccer game with the adult guys of the town, giving out food and gifts for the kids. We had a blast and praise God many kids received Jesus into their heart. We had a blast and we are planning another trip at the end of March, so please keep that in prayer.
I must admit I’ve been feeling guilty and paralyzed, for not having soccer outreaches or one-day clinics with the orphanages or even with the group of kids we got together every Saturday. It gets me back to recognizing that He is the one who makes things happen not me. I have all my desire to get more involved, help any way I can and more, and God knows how I long for this, so please keep this in prayer for God to provide his workers, for the logistic in schedules now with having a job, and for His right timing.
I started studying, a seminar in theology, I’m very excited, I’ll probably won’t be able to finish it all once I leave to Spain, but I have such a hunger to learn more, I know these classes will be a great blessing, and I don’t study for the title, but for God to teach me so I can apply it for His glory.
My family is doing so good, my mom saw this movie Facing the Giants, on her own, and she was so excited, telling me how she loved it and how it reminded her of me because of the coach and how he taught about God through football! This is without a doubt the work of God, and it may not sound as big, but for me it’s huge! I know it's God's way of preparing her heart, so she can understand a bit more of my heart for ministry.
I really enjoy my job, it’s been humbling how God has given me favor with the people there, I think sometimes we forget how much light we can be to people that have little or no relationship at all with God. And how many opportunities God gives us to be that salt and light He wants us to be, especially through unfair situations and how we respond to them. No wonder Jesus put the other cheek, this does wonders even in the hardest heart. I just stand amazed because I know who is doing all the work, and I pray I can continue to be a good testimony.
