Cell Church Workshop

After looking back through pictures we realized we did not tell you about the Cell Church Workshop that our team held in November for Baptist pastors and lay leaders in Puebla. We asked our co-workers Tommy and Beth Larner in Tijuana to come to Puebla to lead a one day workshop explaining what and how the Cell Church structure works. We had about 75 people show up for this event and we were ecstatic! It began at 8:30am and ended at 4pm. The day included a coffee and tea break around 10:30 and then a quick lunch that consisted of typical Mexican lunch (mole poblano, tortillas, rice, beans, sausage and boiled pig skin).

At the end of the day everyone was asked to fill out a questionnaire about the workshop and what kind of interest they had in partnering with us. We received very good feedback with quite a few pastors and leaders interested in starting cell groups in their churches. Since then we have been busy starting work in the different areas that the Lord has led us to work in. Below are the pictures of the workshop plus some pictures taken from our roof of the four volcanoes that surround Puebla. This is our favorite part of the landscape here in Puebla: Waking up every morning and seeing the magnificent handiwork of God! You will not want to miss these or the few pictures of the girls! Have a great week in the Lord.

We were blessed this past Christmas to have been able to spend it with family and friends in the States. We made the 28 hour trip back in a VW Euro van to the border first and then switched to a rented Chevy impala for the rest of the way. We could feel so many prayers going up on our behalf during the whole trip as we never had car trouble and we were never stopped by the police. We were able to have some quality time as a family and then time where we, as a couple, could talk and catch up on life. We also had the opportunity to speak in two of our supporting churches and gained a few more prayer partners. It was a very long trip in the car and very tiring but worth every minute. God is good! Below are a few pictures from our trip and then at the end a few random pics from before we left that are just now getting posted. Thanks for checking them out. Have a great day in the Lord.

Christmas Play and Parties

Last week the girls' last day of school before break consisted of a Christmas Program. Evie was a shepherd and Mylee was an angel. I thought the program was very well put together and each child was given adequate spotlight time. In the picture below are videos of each of the girls'! It was so wonderful that throughout the program parts of the Christmas Story were told by some of the children.

Also included in the group of pictures are pics of our team Christmas party, a group picture of our cell group and pics of the biggest 3 year old birthday party we have ever been to!

We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Catholic Baptism

Part of getting to know people here in Puebla is you kind of become part of their family. We have noticed that they are quick to invite you to many things to include you into their culture. One of the things we were invited to was a baptism of two brothers, ages 4 and 5, at a local Catholic church in our neighborhood. This is a family that we have been getting to know that lives 2 doors down from us. They are a very nice family that we are looking forward to getting to know better in the future. Below are some pictures from the baptism, plus some other pictures that we took of the girls and other interesting finds.
