Hello, family and friends!
Back in business! Wohoo! I’ve missed writing newsletters to you all. I hope you are all doing well. I am beyond blessed that you have been with me in this journey, which began in Mexico and now has moved to the states. I want to thank you all dearly for keeping me in your prayers and supporting me financially.
Since being back in the states I spent a little over a month living in Yucca Valley, with my mentor Cindy. I am grateful she and her husband opened her home to me so that I may be able to pay off the rest of the Calvary Bible Institute tuition. I was able to work at Joshua Springs thrift store which is connected to the church and the bible college.
I am now in Yorba Linda. I can’t begin to tell you how God paved the way for me to be here, at a missions internship with Calvary Chapel Saving Grace. This church is the one who is connected to School of Missions. All the obstacles I had financially, spiritually and physically God brought a solution. When I was in most need for CBI’s tuition to be paid off to start the internship on time God made a way. When I didn’t have money for food, God made a way. When I didn’t have a car, God made a way. When I doubted if the internship was the next step for my life God made a way to direct me to scripture. God met my needs exceedingly. He was my provider in hard times.
In all honesty, it has been difficult to be here but I know God has a plan and a purpose for my life. This missions internship will show me the ropes of seeing all the details of running a church, getting equipped cross culturally to minister, disciple and plant churches long term overseas. I am thankful for the body of Christ who has been very welcoming beginning from the pastors to the church body and the interns. They have showed there love and care just as Jesus has commanded.

Prayer Request:
• For God to provide a job
• contentment in this season
I would greatly appreciate your continued partnership with me in prayer as the Lord continues to prepare me for cross-cultural ministry and leads me to a certain part of the world and people group. If you feel led to make a one time or monthly donation to my missions account for future mission trips and eventually for being sent out, that would mean so much to me. Saving Grace World Missions requires 80% monthly funding before moving onto the field, so any amount would be a huge blessing as I start this process by faith for whatever the future might look like. You can also partner with me directly through Zelle by using my phone number or Venmo aracelivcampos.
God bless you,
Araceli
