Before Now

"Exhort one another daily, while it is called 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin" Heb 3:13.

To All of You Out There, Somewhere:

God is directing me into new paths. At the beginning of this year, while in London, I met an English couple whose names are Tim and Ruth- they also have a two year old son, Ezekiel. I met Tim through a Christian ministry called "XLP", who has been a staff member for 6 years in said ministry. When I met him he shared with me that he would be moving with his wife and kid to Ensenada, Mexico, in September of this year. I shared with him that I had been to Ensenada and what my experience had been. He was very encouraged and invited me to go to dinner at his house later on that week to meet his family. When I met Ruth it was as if we had been friends and known each other all our lives.

They invited me to stay with them for as long as I needed while I was in London so I lived with them for about three weeks. Through out this time they shared with me their heart for God's work and I asked them what were some of the needs they had so that I could pray for them specifically. One of the major prayer request was someone to move to Mexico with them for three months while they took language and other ministry related classes with the program they are doing with YWAM. As soon as they said it my heart leaped and God spoke to me that I was to go with them. I prayed about it and asked God for confirmation which He did and as soon as I shared it with them they were very excited. They had been praying that I would offer as well even in the short time they knew me! So I'm going to Ensenada! We move there on Sept 19th.

The Lord has promised a lot of growth, an outpouring of His Spirit and love so I am looking forward to see the marvelous works He has prepared. Pray for safe travels, fast adjustments for ALL of us (Tim & Ruth don't speak any Spanish) and supernatural strength that I would be a good support for them while taking care of Ezekiel. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your prayers and support, they make an impact in the world for His glory.

Your sister in Christ,
AJ
