During a trip with the Director of World Outreach for the Advent Christian General Conference, Rev. Tim Fox said that it is relationships that are important.
How true that is!  One of our local Mexican pastors (and a long time friend), Pastor Idelfonso Garcia Luciano, recently suffered what appeared to be a heart attack at 43 [...]

Reminder of Passport Needed for re-entry.

After receiving notification of conflicting information on the date of implementation for the Western Hemisphere Initiative, I did some more checking.  The date for implementation is 1 JUNE 2009. After that date the passport or the passport card is required for re-entry to the United States from Mexico.  As I have said before, Mexico has [...]

Pioneer Bible Church Welcomes in the New Year in San Felipe

99 Plus 1 was pleased to have the Pioneer Bible Church  welcome in the new year in San Felipe.  It was 1 year ago that this team delayed their return home by a day in order to pour the floor for the Serenity House.  This year the Lord allowed them to begin the trimming out of the second floor.  While part of the team worked on the trimming out, the rest undertook the task of putting down a new layer of roofing material on the original mission house.  It had developed leaks in several places and was long overdue.  As well the roof over the group kitchen, which has leaked forever, was dismantled and re-constructed.  The group conducted a 3-day Vacation Bible School at a new outreach location for the Unidos en Cristo church.  The program was rounded out with puppets, crafts, games  and a lot of love.  Sister Diana did the lesson since it an outreach of her church.  It is always a blessing to work with her.  The themes were creation and salvation.  She will be starting a “Good New” program for the neighborhood children using the VBS as a springboard.  Some friendship building took place through the 2nd international Pioneer vs Mexico soccer match.  Although it was mostly “gringos vs Mexicans”, there was definitely crossing of national and cultural lines.  I don’t remember the score and it really doesn’t matter.  I enjoyable time was had by all the players.

The Serenity House Roof is Sheeted.

Today the international team (Canada, France, US, Mexico) finished the sheeting for the roof of the Serenity House.  We are planning to have the metal roofing material soon and complete that portion of the project.  Meanwhile on the first floor all of the grid for the drop ceiling is in place and ready to be leveled and lighting installed.  Frenche and Luis are putting the apartment bathroom together now that the sewer system is connected to the city.  God has been so awesome as we continue to move forward with the project.  Please join us in Praising His Name y giving Him the Glory!

A Very Merry Christmas Indeed!!

I don’t think Bonnie and I could have asked for a more Blessed Christmas.  The Lord allowed us to have all of our grandchildren with us in San Felipe for Christmas.  Although our youngest son, Micah, and his wife Erika couldn’t join us for the holiday his children were able to come down and spend about a week playing with cousins.  The children baked cookies one day and delivered them at different local merchants caroling as they went as well as caroling from the back of the pick-up.  They were able to spend an afternoon at the “Casa de Fe” orphanage playing with the children there.  We hosted a Christmas Eve dinner for our Mexican and biological family with about 32 in attendance.  Dinner was followed by opening a gift Bonnie had arranged for each and every person.  THANK YOU LORD!!

Serenity House Continues Towards Completion

It is exciting to see the walls being stood up on the second floor in preparation for the roof structure.  Meanwhile the plumber has finished all of the rough installation for the first floor and lines are “stubbed up” for the second floor.  All of the second floor drainage system is installed and connected.  The last of the downstairs electrical is being brought as far as it can be until the rest of the false ceiling is up downstairs.  We pray that you will continue to rejoice with us as the Lord works His project.
