CDP NEWS FROM SAN VICENTE ,BC,MEX. SUMMER 2013

   cdp 8-2012 by jeaniesuep

      "Living for Christ in the home is an acid test for any Christian. It is far easier to live an excellent life among your friends -when you are putting your best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion - than it is to live for Christ in your own home. Your own family circle knows whether Christ lives in you and through you.  If you are a true Christian you will not give way at home to bad temper, impatience, faultfinding, sarcasm, unkindness, suspicion, selfishness, or laziness.  Instead, you will reveal through your daily life the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering and all the other Christian virtues that round out Christian personality.” (by Billy Graham)

       That being said, we played the mom card this May 2013.  Lisa and I were called to Casa Del Pastor to share Jesus with moms who are abused, abandoned, and violated.  In this ministry there have been moms who could not continue as "mom", so we were called to be single working moms due to these unforeseen situations.

            A week ago, we drove three days there, and three days back across Mexico to be with her oldest son who was married to a sweet Christian girl.  Andres entered into marriage in Bachinivia, Chihuahua with Magali. It was a sweet wedding, and they make a beautiful couple. They both love the LORD and are hoping to be a part of the ministry here in CDP some day in the future.

>Please pray for their lives to glorify JESUS as a couple and individually. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

     While we were away, we accepted a few more moms so our numbers are up to 16 moms with 49 children who live in the CDP This does not include the moms who have their homes and we do childcare with their children plus the childcare of the single moms and low income families who have their children with us during the day. We feed over 110 children in the course of one day, along with the moms who live in CDP.  As you know that feeding that many people is a giant task! I admire her and I would like to ask you to pray for our house manager Nati  Colotzin who does a wonderful job at figuring out how to feed so many people nutritional tasty yummy food and within the low budget!!!!

             When I received my deposit in the middle of May and then had to buy food for CDP this month, my mind flooded with doubt. My mental conversation went something like this:

   ME: "It is impossible! I can not do it!"
   JESUS: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil. 4:13

I ask for prayer for finances, as it is at an all time low. But HE keeps me at peace in knowing He has a plan ... Matt. 6:33 and 34 is in full blown living color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I love seeing the LORD at work!   I want to take this time to say thank you for the prayers for my health!! To God be the  Glory!!  I see Him in all things and I thank Him for the health improvement that I have had over these past few days. It was getting a bit crazy being not able to breathe or get around without a puffer (the little med inhaler that asthma users have to have)   However that has changed drastically!!

After the meds took effect I can now think and move and know the LORD is at work in my health!!!!!

Thank you one and all for those prayers!! Don't stop praying, keep at it!! Thanks!!!!!

“It truly is a blessing when friends come to visit. Although we need to be able to do what we do no matter who comes or doesn't come, it just makes things so much more pleasant and easier when we get people coming along side of us here.  I believe that it's the same way with the Lord. He is going to accomplish His will and He is going to complete the work that He began. There is no doubt about that. But what a blessing when we can be a part of that work and come along side Him to walk with Him in what He is doing.” (By D.  JONES)

 I wanted to share this part of his newsletter with you.  It does express my thoughts towards the teams that come to San Vicente. They come and do so much in the Lords NAME!

We are approaching the team season and I want to ask for prayer for the Lord to bring whom HE desires to Mexico and to open door to share HIS great love and salvation with the folks of CDP SVCC, the Camps, and the people of SAN VICENTE.  I am hosting one team in June and they have been along side of me for over 17 years. We have a long standing relationship and I am looking forward to see what the LORD will do with this group. Thanks for praying for The Great commission to be lived out in and through the groups that come!

I am looking forward to a busy summer.

I remain His forever.

Thank you  for your  prayer and support 
as ever serving with joy ,

APRIL 2013 NEWS

It is April and the sun is shining in the day time but nights are still really cool here in San Vicente.  I am really surprised how quickly time is going and yet each day is full of activities and trips to Ensenada. As the chofer of the casa I often spend my days in the van driving to and from Ensenada. Since my return to Mexico in January we have been going back and forth for the mom from Morales named Esther and her sick son Ezri. He was in and out of the hospital and finally after 4 monthes of life and death situations it was found that he had an infection in the blood and that was inhibiting his regaining his health.  Now we at the point of weather the mom will return back to CDP. Please pray for her decision. She needs to be the one to choose where she will live . She needs prayer because she really has a difficult time being positive and trusting the LORD .

Yesterday I said goodbye to my son Pancho . I woke up and went to his room to see if he had gone to work. (this has been a ongoing situation with him because he was not being consistent in his work ethic nor being honest about where he was spending  his days .)  He was packing and I said,  “Oh so you are leaving? “ And he looked at me with crocodile tears in his eyes and said, “ I going to my moms.”  I asked if he had to time to come to the kitchen and talk . HE did. While talking he expressed uncertainity and doubt as to what he really wanted to do in his life. Which every 19 year old shares and has not a clue as to the realities of life.  He asked for me to pay his way to go to his bio mom I agreed.  IT saddens me to see him go but I told him he is welcome to return to CDS.  As most of you moms and dads know sometime you have to let the child fall out of the nest so they can fly and experience life.  So join me in prayer for this new adventure for my Pancho. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

>Also would like to ask for prayer for Itzel.   I raised  her and was  in my home for  a number of years. She is really separated herself from the Lord and wants nothing to do with JESUS. Prayer for her to be miserable and to seek Jesus again.

> Pray for my little brother Mike who is tired of the snow and cold in Colorado and wants to come south for a time. Please pray that he comes to know the Lord in a personal way

*****>Pray for Diana ( a youth in my youth group ) who tried to take her life with pills and her mental state and that she feel  loved

Thank you for your prayers nad support for me and Casa Del Pastor,

I can not express how special each and everyone of you are to me .

Well the world did not end in 2012!
I heard a joke which really had me thinking.  One Aztec says to the other Aztec who is chiseling away on the calendar, "Why do you think that the world ends on Dec 2012? The Aztec replies "Oh, it does not end—I just ran out of room on the slate!"

I wanted to let you all know how 2012 ended for me.
First we all know that Jesus is in control of what happens in our lives. I trust HIM and am blessed to be in Mexico, but I was away for nearly 9 weeks. For those of you who know what happened my brother, thanks you for your prayers. For those who are not aware, my brother has been through horrible personal loss and he is still in recovery and seeking to live each day at a time.  I was with him during this adjustment in his time of loss.
     Now I am back and very happy to be here!  Within a few days of my arrival home, I got a call from a sister who was one of the first ladies I met here in Mexico 22 years ago. I was delighted because I had been disciplining her last year and she wanted to continue, so we met the next day and had a wonderful time talking about the blessings of following the truth of the Lord. 

Let me give you a little side information for those of you who do not know. We at CDP want to be self sufficient someday, and along with that goal, some very dedicated brethren have come along side of us. For the past few years we have been developing a Ranch of fruit trees and other produce. However, it all fell down and almost failed because of various reasons which are sad but unnecessary to go into detail.  But here is the best part! I had never told my friend any details. However, she recalled it in a prayer we had over three months ago and shared that prayer with her son. He had just graduated and had gotten a certificate for working in agriculture.  So, he asked her if we would want him to help us for free as a service to the LORD.  The Lord answers prayers and now he is in living in the ranch we call Piedra Vida, "LIVING STONE".1 Pe 2:4-5  To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God and precious, Ye also as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.  

We are so excited and looking forward to see how the Lord is going to use him for the next few months.  I want to give Jesus all the praise and thank you for coming along side of me and believing what the LORD is doing here in Mexico.

I pray HE blesses you as you bless me.

Serving with JOY in San Vicente,

Jeanie sue Matt 6:33

I would like to pay tribute to our brother in Christ James Schultz, who went home to be with Jesus on Nov 15 2012. I will miss him, but I am also very jealous. He went home 1^st. RIP my dear brother, love you lots.
