Spinning Plates

Hi friends!

Here is an update on what has been going on since I arrived.  Horizonte Global is officially up and running.  There have been a lot of long hours of administrative work, but now we are getting to the fun and HARDEST part: praying, planning of missionary trips, and developing leaders.

Horizonte Global is the missions' ministry of Horizonte Ensenada, and our vision is to mobilise Mexicans to plant and support churches in Mexico and around the world.  We have a mission to plant 100 churches in the next ten years, fully convinced that God wants to move and do a work around the world.  Beyond this, being the missions' ministry of the church, there are short-term trips throughout the year with the purpose of equipping people and broadening their understanding of making disciples of all the nations.  There are meetings that happen every month in which we also talk about the heart of God for the nations and pray for different ministries.  Horizonte Global is a resource for individuals and local churches who want to know: how to do missions, how to plan a mission's trip, and how to better support missionaries that are already in the field.  

As you can see, Horizonte Global encompasses A LOT of moving pieces.  So here are a few prayer requests:

  • For God to send workers to His field.
  • For wisdom, above all else, that He would be the One guiding and directing me to make the right decisions about the ministry.
  • For continual provision of resources to accomplish everything He has put in our hands to do.

#777

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Mt. 7:7-8.


Welcome!!!

Thank you to all of you that prayed for me!! Less than a week after my last post I found a place to stay, and it is perfect.  It is two blocks from the church and less than a ten minute walk!! Praise the LORD!! He is good.  Want to hear something funny? When I talked to the landlady on the phone, even before seeing the place, I had a feeling I had found the place.  She explained to me how to get there and when to meet her, but she forgot to give me the number of the house… right before hanging up I said: “Wait, what is the number of the house?” “777”, she replied.  I smiled and thought, “Oh God, You are so funny.”

Now I pray that the LORD would use this place for His glory, that it would be a place where fellowship happens, where people feel comfortable, and His Spirit dwells; a place where His peace and power are felt.

May God be glorified!!
