Hey there everyone, how is your summer going? Summer time is a busy time here and full of opportunities. There are teams from Canada and the United States along with the teams from the Mexico to Mexico training that we raised funds for with the perogy and sausage supper fundraiser in Canada. These teams are coming to help with home builds and with child evangelism, youth sports outreach along with women's and men's ministries also.

       Our house is emptier as Leah has moved to the ROC ( Rosarito Outreach Center) for the summer. Leah has been blessed with an opportunity to serve the Lord as the worship leader throughout the summer. When Leah was asked to take on the position of worship leader this was her response:

"she was pretty pumped up-- eyes all big-- she told me in her reading a little while ago about how in once instance God put singers and musicians in front to lead the troops into battle-- she felt like God was moving her to do that and she was really excited to do that if asked-- so now she was asked to lead the singers and musicians--- she felt it was confirmation of what she read and that God really was talking to her about it."  

      Mari has started going to a ladies Bible study on Friday mornings, she has also started meeting with a couple of ladies with children close to Jaxon's age every Wednesday afternoon at a park. It is such a blessing for Mari to be able to get out of the house for these two events each week.

       There is something that the Lord has placed on my heart over the past while and I just cannot get it out of my mind or off my heart. There is a feeding kitchen we were introduced to just a while ago, there are about 120 kids fed there between 6:00-9:00 A.M. five days a week by this couple that are using their own finances as well they are trying to feed their own family and pay the bills. This feeding kitchen to function properly needs $10,000.00 per year. I am asking you to please pray for the funds to come in to have these 120 children fed properly at least once per day. God has put this on my heart for a reason and it has been burnt or branded on my heart.

     Jaxon turns 4 on July 1st and just like Mari, Leah and myself he is changing as he grows. Thank-you for all your prayers for our family as we continue to minister here in Mexico through your prayer and financial support. 

      2nd Corinthians 13:11 "Finally Brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you."

       2nd Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
