He said to them, "Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation."
Mark 16:15
I posted a picture yesterday and part of the caption was: "my heart is so full." How could it not be? Last week I saw a group of newcomers in México break so many barriers. The place where we built wasn't "convenient". It was quite a trek to the family and they were a family who had often been looked over. They weren't used to that many people coming to their home and the kids were weary of us at first. Christ Central Church helped the uncertain feel comfortable, made new relationships with people I had never met, provided a home to a family who otherwise couldn't have afforded it, and completely blazed through language barriers with their love for Christ. I am still blown away at this group from my hometown. For four years I have been going home to talk about Mexico after the trips saying "You just have to go and see it for yourself. I can talk and show pictures, but there's nothing like going." So they finally went with open hearts and open minds, embraced people I call family, and left with full hearts (full minds too). I think I can safely say Christ Central left pieces of their hearts in Mexico with their new friends and family in Christ. I saw God move to direct people to Christ and I saw him move in us- molding us into a beautiful people for his glory!
This group not only built a house, but they made disciples!
I love this picture so much!

Laying hands on this home for safety and well being.
New beds that just came in yesterday!
This family will no longer sleep on old beds or get wet when it rains. Three of them are being sponsored next year for school, and two accepted Christ. Praise God for that! Join me in praying for continual relationships and thank you Christ Central for helping us reach this family!
