La Navidad

She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord has said through the prophet: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel--which means, "God with us." Matthew 1: 21-22

During this Christmas season here in Mexico, we have been preparing ourselves for the second coming of Jesus which we celebrate now as Christians. Reflecting on Jesus birth and salvation and preparing ourselves for him to come again. Reflecting on what it means and how our lives would look if we really live and believe that "God with us" is exactly what it says. God is with us -- His power, His comfort, His forgiveness, His love, His faithfulness, His presence....

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Psalm 27:4

Praises!

Thank you to all of you who prayed for our Christmas Drama on December 16th. I just wanted to share a couple praises and answers to prayer for the Christmas Drama. Thank you again!! God does indeed hear our prayers!

• Many parents came to see there kids! There were especially a lot of new parents who have never come to see their children before; even though their kids had been in the drama in the past. I could see on the kids faces how much it meant if they had someone come to watch them. They were gleaming! The parents also were encouraging their kids throughout the drama when their child was singing.





• The Mexicans on our team shared that they were encouraged to see many parents because it shows that God is doing something in their lives. That though they have had the opportunity to support their kids in the past, they have chosen not to and this year it was some of the first times that parents had come into our church and will know where there kids go each week.
