Mexico bound- June 2nd

On June 2nd I leave for Mexico, and I am so excited.  I am still currently raising monthly financial support, but I am taking this step of faith in trusting that the Lord (Jehovah-Jireh) will provide.

I will be returning to Mexico City for a week to spend with one of my best friends, Alicia.  Even though I have only known Alicia for a little over 2 years, she knows me better than anybody.  I love her sincerity, her transparency, and her heart that longs after Jesus.  The Lord has blessed me tremendously with our friendship and I am so excited to spend this time with her to learn and grow.

After that week in Mexico City I will return to Guadalajara.  We will have various team meetings that first week that I am back.  I am so excited to get back to the orphanage (Fundación Emmanuel).

I cannot wait to see all of my kids.  Emmanuel,  Esperanza, Marcos, Nataly, Alondra, Linda, Julissa, Marisol and all of the other kids.  More than anything I am excited for the hugs, the smiles, the laughter.  I pray that God's love, truth, and grace would overflow in my kids' hearts.

John Piper- What does it mean to live by faith in the service of the fatherless?



1.  Love God more than life.
2.  Walk by faith in Jesus.
3.  Pour out your life for the fatherless no matter what.
