You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
2 Cor. 9:11

 

What’s happening!

Updated : December 26, 2007

The weather has cooled off considerably in Mexico! Cooler weather means more things can be done outside and we plan on being active this winter and spring.

Campo Animo We are busy getting ready to have support teams come to El Diamante.
In December of 07 we built an outside shower and toilet facility (will hook up the water soon); dug the hole for our 600 gallon water tank and hope to bury it soon so we can have running water; purchased a 220 meter and pole and hope to have it installed in early January so we can have electricity on the property. Future plans are to build a porch in front of our trailer so we can have shade when it’s 120 degrees during the summer; install electrical hook ups for our volunteers RVer’s when they come to do mission work; and put down ¾ rock to help control the dust and ruts in the driveway. We plan to hold a medical clinic in El Diamante in the fall of 08.

We would also like to bring work teams down to Sonora to build one home and repair two or more homes in 2008. There is an unexplainable joy that comes from working with your hands and being personally involved in a project changes the lives of families. Providing shelter for someone in need or repairing their current home is a project that can bring joy to the giver and receiver!

God is also leading our mission to include a focus on education and health. Education and training is one of the ways we can continue to under gird the local evangelical pastors. Health concerns include providing treatment, testing and prevention through vaccinations and education.

• We plan to hold three medical clinics in the prison in Puerto Peñasco, El Cereso, in 2008. The first one is scheduled for January 2008.

• We also hope to hold a medical clinic in El Diamante in the fall of 08.

• The pastor’s conference in December 07 was a success and plans are being made to hold educational conferences for the pastors and leaders every quarter in 2008.

These are just a few of the activities that are planned for 2008. The emphasis is on planned. When you are working for the Lord you can expect changes and adjustments, especially when working within a different culture. Manos de Dios will be flexible and will adjust to the changes and go in the direction God wants us to go in. We are in His service and we appreciate the variety of assistance we receive from our supporters.

We are praying for God’s direction and that we will only go where He would be with us. Please join us in praying this prayer that Moses prayed….

“Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us?

Exodus 33:13-16 NKJV

"Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage-to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they'll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life."
