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.

In July, about 30 of us went to Guadalajara where we celebrated Jesus with the “Fiesta de Libertad” Crusade. Pastor Bryan Parish from C.C. La Mirada traveled with us and was the guest speaker for the event. We were able to encourage the brethren from C.C. Guadalajara and many people came to Christ.

A dear friend and sister in the Lord, Yandi Pacheco, went home to be with Jesus in September. She had a long battle with cancer, but she won in the end!! We visited her and I had the honor of praying with her just hours before she went home to be with Jesus. We were blessed by her faith and her endurance until the very end. She has been and still is a true inspiration for my life. I will always remember her strong, solid faith and love for her Lord. I’ve known Yandi and her family since I first came to Tijuana back in 1996.

We had another all church mission’s trip in October to San Felipe. There were about 150 of us all together. We encouraged our missionaries, Octavio and Betty who started a Calvary Chapel there by having another “Fiesta de Libertad” (Festival of Liberty) crusade. It was an extremely hot day, but we all worked hard in service to the people of San Felipe. Like always, many children came to hear the message of how much Jesus loves them. Again, Pastor Bryan Parish from La Mirada, CA was the featured speaker, and there were quite a few people who asked for physical healing at the end of the message. As always, it was an HONOR to lead these beautiful people in prayer to receive Jesus as their personal Savior. There were tears shed, and joyful singing afterwards. Many joined us the very next day, Sunday, for our church service and beach baptisms, and LOTS were baptized. The Holy Spirit was flowing there on the beach, and all were blessed!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
• for a sister, Mary, from CC Ensenada who lost all three of her children in an auto accident. She tried to resuce them from the burning car, but was not able to.
• For Pastor Chris’ health
• That the Lord would continue sending funds for the renovation of C.C. Tijuana
• Blessings for all the teachers of CC Pedregales and CC Tijuana, and for more teachers to be called to the ministry
• For the construction going on at the ranch in Ensenada, (men’s discipleship home), for safety with all the workers, and wisdom in the building of the new dorms.
• For the Lord to bless our Christmas musical that the children of C.C. Pedregales will be presenting, and that the parents of the kids will be reached with the gospel.
• For the Lord to continue to provide for all of our needs in these hard economic times.

Thanks to all for your contined prayers for us; they are truly cherished!
