Calvary Chapel Pedregales summer update

Dear friends, This summer has been extremely busy with many ministry events back to back. We were blessed to be able to minister to the youth, adults, and children with many special events. In September we had the purity conference for all the young ladies, and the women’s conference. These have become annual events. It’s nice to see all of the different Calvary Chapels in north Baja CA come together and participate in these events. I was honored to share at the women’s conference about Miriam the prophetess. The theme of the conference was, “Mujeres Virtuosas,” (Virtuous Women), and each one of us spoke of a different woman of the Bible that was used greatly by God. ...

June Update

THE LATEST, FROM CALVARY CHAPEL PEDREGALES AND TIJUANA Hello to all! Well, these months are just flying by! It seems that I am always apologizing for being so late in writing my monthly (well, it has lately become my bi-monthly) updates. I am sorry, again, for the lateness of this newsletter! Every month seems to be a holiday or an event of some kind that we are doing here, and May and June brought us Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We always like to do something special, as we have so many kids who come alone to church and these events bring their parents out, so we like to take advantage of that and share the gospel with them. ...

April 2010 Update

EASTER CELEBRATION, 2010 CALVARY CHAPEL PEDREGALES / TIJUANA “Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead.” Matt.28:6-7 Christ is risen indeed! We celebrated on Easter Sunday with what has now become our annual sunrise service. We all gathered at 6:00 a.m.to worship our risen Lord, just as Mary and Mary Magdalene came to the tomb more than 2,000 years ago to see Jesus. It was a glorious day. The dance group from Pedregales danced a beautiful dance, and about 30 people made decisions to follow Christ. We held the service outside in downtown Tijuana, so that as the sun was rising, we would be hearing the message of our Lord’s great love for us in dying on the cross and rising again three days later. Some people from the area came and joined us, most of which are drug addicts, as this area is where they are all living. Although the sun didn’t come out much that day, the Lord held back the rain which we were so thankful for! Here Is a link to the dance if you would like to watch it. The kids worked hard and did a fine job. The song is in Spanish and talks about the Victory that we have in Christ, that “no longer am I going to cry, I have Jesus in my life.” (Easter Dance–Calvary Chapel Pedregales; Tijuana, B.C. video) ...

Pico Rivera Outreach I am writing to thank each and every one for your prayers for us this past weekend that God would hold back the rain and He did!!! He is so faithful! Calvary Pico Rivera was here, all 21 of them for the weekend. It rained for most of the time they were here, but for the outreach that we had planned in San Antonio de las Minas, a tiny little village on the outskirts of Ensenada, mostly consisting of indigenous people, it didn’t rain!! It was trying to all day, and the sky looked pretty scary. Well, we set up the tarps, and instruments, and began the outreach. It was so nice! I heard that everybody from the whole village came out. We sang worship songs, the dance group performed, and Pastor Danny gave the gospel message. ...

December / January 2010 Update

Well, Christmas has come and gone. We celebrated together the birth of our Savior here in Tijuana, and it was beautiful! There is nothing like fellowship with the brethren. There were SO MANY events this past month and “Gracias a Dios” we accomplished everything that we had planned. December started off with our first annual Mission’s Conference. It was a blessed night with so many of the church in attendance! It was designed to help the saints “catch the vision” of getting involved in the area of missions, and help support those who have gone out from our churches to serve the Lord through prayer and financial support. It was a beautiful night! A dear brother provided for all of our missionaries to be there! Also, Pastor Bryan from Calvary Chapel La Mirada and Jim Hodges from Royal Paper Box in Montebello were guest speakers and encouraged all of us through the Word to get involved. All were blessed, especially the missionaries! ...

OCTOBER / NOVEMBER, 2009

These last couple of months have been so incredibly busy, and at the same time, BLESSED!! I apologize for this getting out so late. God is so good, and continues to show His awesome power in the changed lives of so many people! We were honored to share at Calvary Chapel La Mirada, and Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills what the Lord is doing here in Tijuana at our churches. Pastor Chris and I each shared a video and it was so nice to see old friends and meet some new ones also. So many hearts were touched as they watched the videos, and many are excited to be a part of this ministry. ...

August/Sept. 2009 Update

Well, summer has come and gone, (or has it)?! It is hot here, and we are basking in the Son! I’ve enjoyed a two week vacation this summer, visiting family and friends, and now am home and ready for another school year! I am moved into my new house, along with Meagan. James, Monica, and their son, Christopher, share this beautiful home with us on the weekends. I am thankful to my Lord Jesus for giving me this home. ...

September, 2009 Update

May/June 2009 Update

Hello to all! As I ponder the words of Charles Spurgeon: … “The limitless fullness of His all-sufficiency is as free to the believer as the air he breathes. Christ has put the cup of His love and grace to the believer’s lip and invites him to drink of it forever; if he could empty it, he is welcome to do so, but as he cannot exhaust it, he is invited to drink abundantly, for it is all his own. What truer proof of fellowship can heaven or earth provide?” I can’t help but think of how much GRACE He gives me, and how I want every day to be more of Him and less of me! ...
