"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.”

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 ,
as ever serving with joy ,
Jeanie Sue Phegley aka Juanita
