For we walk by faith, not by sight

-
Hello everyone, God bless you. We want to share what has been going on with our family. The last time we sent an update was in April, and we were in Sonora awaiting the arrival of our baby.

• Elisabet • 
Our baby was born on May 14. We thank God for her life. She is a very healthy, beautiful, and joyful girl. 

•Ensenada• 
God provided a job at CCBC (Calvary Chapel Bible College), the place where my wife and I studied 10 years ago. Since June 1, we have been here serving God. I am helping with the construction of a new building and also sharing devotionals and Bible studies with the students.

During this time I have had the opportunity to share the word of God in different places. 
Every week we drive to Rosarito to congregate at our church. I have been able to support some Sundays in the ministry for new believers. It has been very encouraging to return to our church. Our children, Israel and Abigail, have enjoyed it very much. 

We are very grateful to God for this time in Baja California. It has been very good for the whole family to spend these months here serving, seeking direction, and being encouraged by the word.
Three years ago, my family and I went to Aguascalientes for a conference. There, I was introduced to some people, including Pastor Elias Lee, a Korean missionary who has planted three churches in the city. Since then, we have been in contact and I have had the opportunity to visit his church, preach, and meet the congregation. 

A few months ago, when we were still in Sonora, he called me on the phone and invited me to serve alongside him as a youth pastor. I was honored, and I told him that I would speak to my wife and we would be praying.
• Aguascalientes • 
After praying and having confirmation from God, we have decided to accept the invitation and move to Aguascalientes. I want to remain faithful in what God has called me to do and always have a heart ready to plant churches. As I have learned from my pastor Mike Vincent, I believe with all my heart that the main way God uses to reach cities is through reaching families in the local church. At the end of this month of November we will be sent by our church, CCR. They will pray for us to go out and begin an adventure of faith in this city of one million people. 

• For we walk by faith, not by sight • 
This is a verse that we have embraced and are literally living. Three weeks ago, we bought the plane tickets, and we are going to move on December 7. Our church will support us with an offering, which we are very grateful for! Moving to Aguascalientes requires a lot of expenses to settle in. We still don't know how God is going to provide, but we are trusting in God's faithfulness. He is faithful, and he always will be! We have always seen it in our family. 

Thank you very much for reading this. We ask you to continue praying for us and for Aguascalientes. If you would like to support us financially in any way, please contact us. 

God bless you. Eduardo, Linda, Abigaíl, Israel and Elisabet.

Dios es bueno

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
