Hello Family and Friend,
I’m finally in Mexico!!!! I’m beyond grateful and excited to be here. I want to start off by saying thank you so much for all your prayers and support. I appreciate each and every one of you deeply.
On Saturday, July 6th we had orientation. I was able to meet the rest of the team and our leaders explained in more detail what was to come for the next six weeks. We spent some time in worship and sought the Lord together. I personally asked the Lord to help me mentally prepare by removing any distractions or temptations I would face while in Mexico.
The following day, we attended Sunday service at Calvary Chapel Saving Grace as the congregation prayed over us before we left. We made it to Rosarito that afternoon. To my delight, we were welcomed with delicious authentic tacos. I was beyond excited because this is not my first time in my parents’ home country and I missed the food.
I started my Monday morning around 5:30 am with devotionals. I chose to get up early and spend quality time with Jesus. I was going through one of my favorite Psalms. Psalm 63 – “A psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” I love this psalm because it reminds me of how much I need the Lord and how His lovingkindness is better than life and therefore I will praise him forever. If you knew me before I came to Christ you would agree that I lived in so much sin. Knowing what life is without Christ and what life is now with Him, I can 100% say that His lovingkindness is better than life. The peace I have found within His presence is unlike anything you can find in the world, the unconditional love I was longing for I have found in Jesus. There is power in the mighty name of Jesus. The person I am becoming is all by the Grace of God.
Our pastor’s first teaching was about complete surrender. I want to succeed in the call God has for me, therefore I must first surrender what I now think God has for me. Any plan I have that starts with me will end with me, while any plan that starts with God will end with God.
I intend to allow the Lord to work through me. Everything that I willl be doing will be by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Please pray for my team and I’s safety while we are here in Mexico doing God’s work. It means so much to us.
I would also like to ask you to pray for my mental health as I have been having moments of uncertainty.
Please private message me if you have any prayer requests. I would love to keep you in prayer as well. I would also love to be able to keep you updated in real time on what is going on here.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. If you feel led to partner with me and the work of the Lord going on in Mexico, my current need is $2,300. Thank you for all your support! I’m excited to keep you all updated.
For his Glory,
Katia
