Christ is building His church in Mexico! Even though it is the world’s largest Spanish-speaking country, it is also home to hundreds of least-reached people groups. As you know, through Ethnos M\u00e9xico, we lead and equip with the hope of seeing thriving churches among Mexico’s least-reached people groups. We consider it a huge privilege to be a part of what God is doing in this incredible country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our last blog mentioned planning a one-year ministry home assignment to the United States. We shared that one of our purposes for this time is to reconnect with supporters and supporting churches and to trust the Lord for new ministry partners.<\/p>\n\n\n

For the past nearly fifteen years as members of our mission organization, we have been supported by a group of individuals, families, small groups, and churches. These supporters make it possible for us to pay for groceries, gas, rent, utilities, medical bills, and the other expenses of day-to-day life. Some support us bi-weekly, others monthly, some quarterly, and others yearly. Some give a special gift occasionally to help offset our sometimes higher expenses. God has always provided for our family through these partners, and we are so grateful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mentioned in our recent email update that it has become necessary for us to plan for support raising again. With inflation and the decreased value of the dollar in Mexico, our current monthly support level is significantly lower than what our organization recommends monthly to live and minister here in Mexico, and we are feeling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are trusting the Lord to lead us to more people who are passionate about missions and who desire to join our ministry team by becoming monthly supporters. This will be one of our goals and prayer requests for our time in the United States. We appreciate your prayers in this area!<\/p>\n\n\n
