Passover, Exodus, Zion and Resurrection!

He is risen!  Hola from Mexico!

It has been quite eventful around here lately!  The Zion Church (our home church in Didsbury, AB.) youth team arrived last Wednesday and got right into our first church camp in Árbol de Vida!  We held the camp right in our church with many staying over from Thursday to Saturday.  We had an adventure travelling through the Exodus.  Thursday night, some missionary friends of ours lead us all through an authentic Passover meal with all its amazing symbolism for we who know the Messiah.  Then on Friday and Saturday we learned may other lessons on slavery, deliverance and faith.

Friday night was special as we had a fireside service with a call to put faith in Jesus for salvation.  A young man, Memo, attended and put his faith in Christ along with some others.  Memo said this was the first Easter week he could remember not spending it drunk or in jail.  At the end of the service one of the other new believers, Alejandra, had an absense siezure and we couldn’t wake her.  We loaded her up in our van and took her home to this little house in a needy area.  Her mom said that she didn’t normally get this bad.  Memo was along and helped pray for this young lady.  Colin (pastor with the Zion team) and I said to each other that we were praying that Memo would see a sign to confirm his new faith.  And he did!  Alejandra woke as we prayed and she wanted to get back to the camp at the church. 

Sunday was an amazing day too as Memo, Alejandra, Jorge (another gentleman that recently put his faith in Christ after a life of prison and addiction), Bryan (a great young guy in our youth group and friend of  Talson) and Victor (another great university student that put his faith in Christ last year) were baptised.  What better way to celebrate Jesus´resurrection than with the symbol of death and resurrection with Christ in baptism.  What a wonderful day!  For more on these stories you can read Lane Elliott’s blog at http://www.laneelliott.blogspot.com/

God is doing amazing things and it is exciting to be part of it.  Please pray for us in the coming days as we need much wisdom and direction from the Lord for many things.  Thank you for praying.  God is listening and responding.

Joyfully serving the King of kings and the ones He came to save in Mexico,
