God is so good!

June is proving to be a month of many changes here in Guanajuato... 

Unlike MOST missions, the Central Mexico Mission of Guanajuato (which serves women and children who are or have been victims of domestic violence and has an evangelistic ministry as well) does not receive the financial support of any larger parent organization. 

The vision of this mission is to serve victims of domestic violence and their families with the end goal of washing these families in the water of the Word until they are through the healing process; however long it takes and be reunited as the healthy family unit. We never encourage divorce, we DO encourage prayerful healing, salvation, love and respect. 

Additionally, the LORD has opened up a new opportunity for me as a part-time professor at the UGTO teaching upper level English, He has guided me carefully in choosing the materials which we use and the topics which we discuss and write about and through that position I am able to share God's truths through the use of the Word. 

I tell people that I am only guiding them to the Water, the students are already thirsting for the Truth... God does the rest!  

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. Psalm 52:9

The pastor and his wife who have worked with this mission since April of 2009 announced on Sunday that they are stepping down and cannot say if they'll return to the ministry. 

Today I spoke with a brother, friend and pastor whose church has supported this mission since its conception in October of 2008 and because we no longer have a "pastor" or "church" his church (the last church) which has been sending gifts to me here in central Mexico is very probably withdrawing its support.

In truth my personal needs require $1,500. USD /month for living expenses, medicines, insurance and transportation. Apart from that I have always tried to help the women who I work with to meet some of their needs which is why I have a job outside the mission. My income from work is $600/month. God has always done the rest! 

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Sal 18:3  I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Psalm 18:2-3

The brother has left me with much to think about and pray for; maybe the LORD has finished with me here in Mexico. Please keep us in prayer, I would hate to abandon the women and families I have been working with. It would be fulfilling a prophesy given by a local pastor here 4 years ago who said "never trust American missionaries they come in offer salvation and promises and before the work is done they lose interest and go home."
God bless you my friends brothers and sisters.
