What a privilege it is to continue being used by God to influence the lives of young people. We had a small group from Michigan with us in Mexicali earlier this month. They worked with a country church close to our Bible institute there, sharing the gospel and encouraging the people. One day during the students’ devotional time the area was hit with a 5.8 earthquake! Imagine asking God to reveal Himself and feeling the ground shake!

We think you will be encouraged by the testimony of one of the teenage girls:

Through this week I have received an opportunity to understand what it truly means to fear God, to feel His power and have Him literally shake my world. God changed my heart and soul so much, there really isn’t enough space to write it all. This week has taught me what it means to surrender all I am truly to Christ. God’s power cannot be contained, and His love needs to be shown to all. Thank you so much for this week.

We also want to say thank you to our financial partners for the part you play in making all of our ministries possible. Your generous support makes it possible for our staff to be a blessing to so many Mexican people who desperately need to see the love of Christ.

May God continue to bless you abundantly.
