Recently my Pastor, Mike Vincent, taught a Sunday sermon about the END times! It really got me thinking. Do I believe the world will continue forever? (no!)
But whether the end is near or far, I began to meditate on a couple questions:
- What is my purpose?
- What should I be doing?

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” – Matthew 24:42
My purpose
I believe as a Christian, (and not just because I and my wife are missionaries in Mexico) that my purpose in this life is:
“To know HIM (Jesus Christ) and to make HIM known!”
and as I fulfill this calling I reflect on the love of God and how I live it out daily:
Jesus said the greatest commandments are
“To LOVE GOD and to LOVE your neighbor as yourself!” (Matthew 22:37-39)
How do we do this ?


Calvary Tecate – Pan de Vida!

Pastor Mike and the church planting board took a vision tour on April 7th to Tecate near the southern border in Baja California! I still mentor students and am part of the board!
Tecate is about an hour east of Tijuana. Our friends Gilberto & Beatriz Ortiz and their family are going to plant a church there this Fall! There is big potential in this border town where they manufacture the Toyota Tacoma! Tecate is a city of over 100,000 people! We spent the day praying , touring and planning! It is so exciting to see the faithfulness and growth of folks in our church planting class!
Biblical Counseling Ministry
If you follow our blog regularly, you’ll see us posting cool photos of our many ministry activities as a Pastor and pastor’s wife in our local church, Calvary Rosarito. I love photos! A picture is supposedly worth a thousand words! But, my main ministry, Consejeria Biblica (Biblical Counseling) can never be photographed! For two reasons! The obvious reason is confidentiality! The second is because, how do you show the inner transformation in a person’s life?
Everybody has problems. When they get too big, people often seek help at our church or ask for counseling. We have a very welcoming, loving church. We welcome all people! One way we can love people is by listening to them and praying for them! This is part of every counseling session but also something we get to do constantly as we meet and speak with people before and after our church services. And, since Calvary Rosarito is the largest Christian church in town, we have mane many opportunities to listen to and love people!

Mentoring young men
Our young friend Ramon came to church a few years ago and we just love this guy! He came to Mexico a few years ago with his mom and two brothers (they are triplets – trillizos!) Cristian says he is like a brother to him! Since he is now a fulltime, live in student in our Antioch Discipleship training program, I have had the opportunity to mentor him officially! He is 18, and I realized, he needs to be taught how to drive!

Men’s Discipleship group
I meet with about 10 men every Thursday night at 6:30pm while Claudia her ladies have the “Women of Worth and Purpose” bilingual Bible study. I figured since I’m there anyway, I might as well do something useful. THe guys and are forging friendships as we study through the Book of John together.


Our recent travels!

The Women’s Bible study is amazing! God continues to bring new ladies every week!

I taught a workshop on Biblical Counseling at the Saturday men’s conference on May 31st.

And then, a divine appointment!

At the Saturday conference at Riverside Calvary, I happened to meet Dave Robertson, who offered to drive me to North Vancover on Monday to see my uncle Dale. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Dave’s wife Dawn used to live across the street from my uncle!
Poiema returns from Peru


to receive Christ as her savior! Poi is now quite fluent en español!

Family Time!
June 28th is nearing! My daughter Natalie is getting married to her “prometido” Marcus Salinas here in Rosarito at Las Rocas resort! The young ladies got together for a second Bridal Shower (Fiesta de Despedida) for Natalie and her family and friends in Mexico.



Claudia, Poi and Cris visited the gravesite for a little maintenance and quiet time.
Jesus said watch and pray!
In conclusion, I believe the best way to get ready for Jesus’ return is to be BUSY about the Lord’s business. There are people to reach, love and help! Every soul matters and is precious to God! Claudia and I have the ministry, and calling to reach out to people who are hurting and struggling and love them with the hope of Jesus Christ here in Mexico. It fills us with joy as we realize the goodness of God and what a great honor it is to be able to serve the King ✝ !
