Hello dear brothers and sisters! I am Lili and I serve in Calvary Chapel Acapulco. I feel grateful to God for this new stage in my life. After so many years of waiting and working in His service I can see the fulfillment of a calling that He made me when I was twelve years old.
I remember when I was praying on the roof of my mother’s house and looking at the sky full of stars. I remembered the passage in Genesis 12 when God made the call to Abraham and at that moment God spoke to me the He would send me to other nations to fulfill His promise. Then the tears began to roll down my cheeks and it was that moment where I felt the presence of the Creator of heaven and earth. I was a teenager and I did not really understand all that would Imply, but now looking back, I see that the Father had a plan. When I was a child, a group ofAmerican missionaries came to the village where I was born and that marked my life in such a way that God put the desire in my heart to be a missionary one day.
During the time of waiting, God was preparing me in His service. I got involved in different ministries of in the church and served in local missions. When I was 25 years old, God allowed me to traffic Bibles and serve with refugees in a country closed to the gospel. There God confirmed the call that He had made to me with the children of Ishmael. Since then, I have made short-term trips and this allowed me to have a greater understanding of the Promise to reach all nations of the earth.
Now several years have passed since my adolescence and God has forged me in different stages of life. I continue to learn about His character and what He demands of me, I continue to serve Him and fall in love with Him.
“He has declared to you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 NASB
Now I invite you to look together at the stars with me, those stars that are there but also those who have not yet been reached to show you this incredible promise that was completed in the Messiah, who came from Abram’s lineage. God’s blessing to Abram was not for his own good, nor for the exclusive good of the Jewish nation, it was for the whole world, for all the families of the earth through Jesus Christ.
‘And they sang a new song, saying; You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals; for You were slain, and by Your blood You have redeemed us for God out of every kindred and tongue andpeople and nation’ Revelation 5:9 NASB.
How wonderful it will be that day where we will all worship our one true God!! How beautiful it is to participate with the Trinity to reach that the last star. I hope I can count on your prayers and your support in this time of waiting, because the plan is to leave next year for the long term to the Middle East.
Thank you for reading what God put in my heart. I hope we will be in contact and if you have any Questions or comments please share them with me. You will be in my prayers.
Someday we will be like those who dream Psalm 126. Lili
