Please Pray


Here in the office, I watch Alfonso walk out the door to tell yet another family that they won't be receiving a home because the team scheduled to build it canceled. That will be the sixth or seventh team in the last month, just for our location. It's heartbreaking when you know that there are over fifty families on the waiting list. Some of them have been waiting for over a year, while others have had 2 or 3 teams cancel when their names came up.
Homes of Hope isn't the only ministry being affected. A DTS team from Ensenada on outreach in Columbia had their last month of ministry canceled last minute because the pastors were afraid to work with a team from Mexico. Mission Adventures had fewer than half the teams sign up for this summer, and some of those are cancelling.



Will you please join us in prayer for direction and for Mexico during this season? For wisdom and courage to obey as we seek what God is doing and what our reaction to that needs to be. Pray that the remaining teams won't cancel, and for additional teams to be inspired to come. For the finances of the ministry so we can continue to work here in Northern Baja. For the flu to stop spreading and for the families who have been affected by it already. For the families who still need homes.
James 5:16 NIV
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Thanks for praying. I'll keep you updated!
