Capilla Calvario/Horizonte (Calvary Chapel-San Vicente)

One of our biggest prayers answered through the years has been the establishing of a systemic Bible teaching church, here in San Vicente. Not only for our families but for our community. The Lord established Calvary Chapel-Capilla Calvario/Horizonte with our beloved Pastor Kiki. Before there was our own Calvary Chapel, we used to load everybody from Casa Del Pastor on the bus each Sunday and travel over an hour to Ensenada to attend a Calvary Chapel there! Now, with our own home church here in San Vicente, we can be much more involved! The church is on the move, in its physical location. We were renting three rooms in a building, but the owner asked us to vacate two of the three rooms. As you can imagine, the church has quite a large children�s ministry, so we needed more than one room total! Pastor Kiki called a board meeting and we prayed and discussed the matter. Well, a large warehouse was offered to us, free of charge! The Lord has his plans as always. He will lead and guide our church! The new property, that the Lord provided, is being prepared, and Lord willing, a floor for the sanctuary will be poured within a month and in another month, a church is planning on coming to install the walls for us. Finally, a roof will go up within four months! This is the schedule we are praying for, please join us in this pray request for our new church home! In the meantime, the church is going to meet in two houses temporarily. The Lord is good and it is our ultimate prayer that His will be done. It is an incredible thing to see His work here in San Vicente. He not only cares for our own families at Casa Del Pastor, but the whole town! I know that He has good plans for your too, always remember to seek Him

FM-3 Visa

Every year I need to get permission to remain in Mexico. For the first five years in Mexico, I had no idea that I needed this permission. However, for the past nine years, I have prayerfully receive this permission, called at FM-3 Visa. It took 3 1/2 years to receive the first permission due to many technicalities. It is that time of the year again. I need your fervent prayers. This paperwork takes a great deal of time and energy. Could you pray for this FM3, it makes a big difference! Thanks!



Sandra

She had come from Tijuana and is a mild mannered, quiet and gentle woman. When she arrived, over a year ago, she was very scared, worried mainly for her three children. The youngest boy, her seven years old, was so tramautized that he was incontinent, and the other two were terrified and not talking. Five years earlier, she had been at Casa Del Pastro because her husband had been involved with drugs. When her husband had gone to drug rehab and had seemed to be doing better, she had returned to him. When she returned to him, she�d hoped that he would remain clean. However, five years later, she came back, but the damage to her children wasgreat and only the Grace of God could heal her children�s hurts. Sandra was a broken woman and was seeking the Lord, for herself and for her children. One of the most important things we do is provide a peaceful and Godly atmosphere for the moms and children to heal. Sandra and her children have been with us for over a year. She is growing in the Lord and her children are settled and confident. There has been a big change in all of her family, the have "a hope and a future". God is changing lives here, please continue to pray and support Sandra and all of the mother�s and children here. You are involved in making a difference here in Mexico!.
