Preparing for Nicaragua

-
We are very happy to share with you our updates on this blog. I work six day a week at the church along with five interns. We are in charge of maintaining the church for the bible studies and services throughout the week and helping different ministries. Truly, the time is going by quickly. The last three months, my wife and I have been very busy serving and learning in our church, Calvary Chapel Rosarito. 

We have been working alongside the youth pastor and this summer I have had the opportunity to teach the youth on Sundays about the seven churches in the book of Revelation. It was a blessing to learn about Jesus, his love, exhortation and encouragement for the church, not just in this time, but throughout all time. 

Sharing Christ in a Cross-cultural Context
We began this class together a few weeks ago and it is helping to prepare us for the mission field. Basically, it is about how to communicate the gospel effectively. We are learning the importance of this verse, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Even when the culture is different, the message of salvation remains the same.

Church Planting Class
I am studying the book of Philippians. Every week I have to prepare a fifteen minute study and teach it to the class. I also have an hour of study with Pastors Mike Vincent and Michael McDonald. The focus is “to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:12). 

We had the opportunity to go to Calvary Chapel Bible College Ensenada and share our experience as students there. It was a very special time where we also spoke about what we are doing now, and the calling that God has given us for Nicaragua. Without a doubt, God is faithful. 

NICARAGUA
In December we finish our time serving in Rosarito and we leave to visit our families in Sonora and Guadalajara for two weeks.  Our desire is to be in Nicaragua by Christmas time, begin to familiarize ourselves with the people, form friendships and assist in the ministry ready to begin 2015. 

“Prayer Requests”
·        For the trip, that God will continue to prepare the way. 
·        For Campo Gonia (“Camp Cornerstone”).
·        For provision for our time there.
·        For the Nicaraguan people.

This is a message from Jaime, the pastor in Nicaragua:  Campo Gonia is coming together little by little.  Thank you all for your prayers and support.  We continue with the battle for souls.  Various men have shown the desire to be a part of the discipleship program.  Our next step is to build the first dormitory.  Please keep us in your prayers. 

Would you like to Support Us?
We are all called to missions, whether it be to send or be sent. We want you to invite you to be a part of what God is doing through prayer, economically or a visit. We believe that God has a very special love for the people of Nicaragua. God uses every-day, average people to reach out to others with the purpose of bringing glory to his name.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
God Bless you
Eduardo and Linda Fernandez

Lo primero que quiero compartir en esta actualización es que Dios es bueno. Mi corazón está muy agradecido con las personas que nos apoyan en oración y económicamente para servir a Dios en Guadalajara. Gracias!! Algunas de estas personas hablaron conmigo y me dijeron que podrían ayudarnos a establecernos y apoyarnos por un año. Un tiempo que ya terminó. Después de orar y pedir dirección a Dios, sabía que necesitaba trabajar para no solamente proveer para mi familia, sino también para poder ser generoso y poder ayudar a personas necesitadas que Dios ha puesto en mi camino. Hice un plan de negocios que compartí con mi pastor y el me animo con estas palabras: es un gran plan, es normal para un pastor tener un trabajo. También es verdad que eventualmente la iglesia debe proveer para el pastor y su familia. Pero eso toma tiempo! Así que compartí este plan con 3 personas que siempre han creído en el llamado de Dios para mí y también han sido muy generosos con mi familia. De esta manera tuvi

Hello everyone, on this occasion, I, Linda, am writing this blog update.  I think that it’s important to share with you a little of our testimony –what God has done, and what he is doing in our family, since there are new people following our blog, new friends and family in the faith. “I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.”   –Daniel 4:2 Eduardo was born and raised in Guadalajara.  Afterward, he lived in the United States.  His life was filled with bad decisions and he didn’t know Christ.  At twenty-four years old, he came to Ensenada, Baja California to Rancho Poema, a place for discipleship.  That is where he surrendered his heart to Christ and got to know His love.  He is now thirty-one years old and has seven years walking with the Lord.  I am from Sonora and since I was a little girl, I had the blessing of growing up in a Christian family.  But at the same time, I was a youth who was filled with fears and insecur

Hello everyone, we are very happy to be able to share this update with you.  This month of November we complete one year at Grace Children’s Home.  It has been a time where we have learned to love and to serve these children, and without a doubt, we will miss them.  But at the same time we are content to know that God has guided us to this point and we will take them with us in our prayers and in our hearts.  Thanks to all, we love you!!! On the 22nd of November, we will travel along with our pastor and some friends to Guadalajara.  We will be there a few days praying for the city and seeking God’s direction for a good place to start the church, Calvary Chapel Living Hope, in February of 2017.  Can you pray for us? –That God would open doors and that we would be able to see what God wants to do in this place!  Pray for the people who have heard the gospel, that Jesus would shine in thier hearts. The 26th of November, we will have an informational meeting where we will be s
