Alan & the start of a new ministry

It has been an awesome joy to have our dear friend Alan here from Mexico. Alan is family to us and while he is in an intensive training seminar we are soaking him up every chance we get - we have enjoyed spending the past two weekends with him. Last week we took Alan to a very authentic Mexican area of Indy and enjoyed a Mexican meal. The Lord led Christian and Alan and some others from the training back to that same location today to share Jesus with the workers and to sow some seeds for future ministry. We praise God that three Mexican's accepted Jesus today through the groups efforts. We covet your prayers as we seek the guidance of the Lord for future ministry.

he gives his life to Jesus.

Mexico....

While we have physically left the beautiful country of Mexico, we have stayed incredible busy working with OMS over the past few months. We were excited to have four couples attend the three week cross training session that will be serving as missionaries in Mexico. We loved getting together with them, answering questions and praying over them. Steve and Helen and their baby girl Nisha came and spent a Sunday afternoon with us...it was lovely to get to know how we can be praying for them.

This past week we had the opportunity to speak at OMS chapel (Christian pictured below) and to share our hearts with the missionaries working at headquarters here in Indiana. It was a beautiful chance to re-connect and share how God is working in our lives. Robin stayed for a two day coaching seminar...watch for future updates about how the Lord is guiding her to use all she has learned.
We wrapped up our week with a supporter dessert on Saturday at OMS. Thank you to all who attended. We are humbled by your friendship and love. It was a wonderful time to re-cap our four years in Mexico.
