God's Perfect Timing

Dear Sweet Brothers and Sisters,

You have been so good to pray and be faithful; I cannot thank you all enough for helping to bring me safely back home. The trip home and all of the events of the month prior to my departure were so covered with God’s fingerprints the timing and the answers to prayer were nothing short of miraculous.

The problems with my health and other things which happened in Mexico demonstrated that the LORD was leading me back to the U.S. and that this was His timing. My family was ready for me to return, I had unfinished business here which needs attending and the LORD is giving me the time and the space to take care of me a bit. In the months since Abraham stepped down as pastor, my mission/church workload had doubled and I was giving out steadily with little or no replenishment. I thanked and praised the LORD every day for the Internet, Searchlight Ministries, KAPL, and Calvary Satellite Network because I was able to take in an average of three studies a day to help sustain me.

The spam email from Facebook coming from an unknown brother (Hector Velarde and family) who just happened to be interested in a ministry opportunity in Guanajuato and wanted to come and see what we (I) were doing; he and his family’s visit to Guanajuato to visit the congregation and others in Santa Teresa (who’d been turned away by our previous pastor) who were desperately seeking a Calvary Chapel in Central Mexico. Their prayers and our prayers and the LORD’s leading confirmed for them that it was right to take-over the ministry which the LORD called me to begin in 2008.

The careful knitting together the hearts of all involved and bringing almost everyone back to the body of believers who’d gotten saved or congregated with us at Comunion Cristiana de Guanajuato through the years I have worked in Mexico and He did it so quickly and easily, everyone was ready for new leadership. If I had had any doubts they all dissolved when Hector told me his wife “Jennifer is a huge fan of pastor Jon Courson and his matter of fact presentation of the Bible”. I did listen to him teach to be sure, but God did all the real work.

So I’m back in Oregon, doing well, starting the job hunt and to get my spiritual tanks refilled. I’m including a list of the expenses I incurred during the trip, praise the LORD for His protection and care along the way.

God bless you my friends!
