Wanna support mission, eh?

  This young lady and her family have been a huge help with the deaf church that meets at Calvary Chapel Horizonte, when I heard she was going on her first missions trip to CUBA! I became excited to do what we could to help.  So let me share her letter:
  
  
  

  Hi my name in Nora Michel and I've been serving the lord for over two years. I decided to dedicate my life to Jesus and that's why I joined the Missions Ministry of Calvary Chapel Horizonte Ensenada. I received His call about a one year ago and since then I've been participating in various local missions’ events.

  
  

  Today, God has opened the door to be part of a missions’ trip to Cuba in July!

  The group will be in Cuba to support Calvary Chapel Havana & serve with the youth, children & women of the church and the area it serves. There are plans for a youth conference in Diezmero, several women's conferences in Havana and in the countryside as well as a children's summer program.

  
  

  The group heading to Cuba consists of my friend Holly, our missions’ leader Lety and her daughter Monica and Tania Domingo, our Pastor's wife who will be blessing the Cuban ladies with several women's conferences.

  As a team I know we will be truly blessed by the Lord and the plans He has for us and for the people of Cuba.

  

  
  

  Our trip begins on July 21st where we fly from Tijuana to Mexico City for a 2 day Pastor's conference. On the 24th we fly from Mexico City to Havana. The plans are to spend time in the countryside of Camajuani to join the Calvary Chapel Downey Missions team and bless the people with Youth & Women's conference and then head back to Havana and spend a week with Calvary Chapel Havana serving and blessing them as well. On August 8th we fly back to Tijuana with a lifetime of memories & tremendous growth in the Lord.

Ciudad Juarez and the Deaf

The town was Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico and it just happens to be among the worst affected parts of Mexico’s drug-related violence. 

It also happens to be a place where the Deaf Pastor and Leaders Conference was being held.

After His wife passed away, leaving him with his two small children, Pastor Carlos seemed to be just keeping his head above water.  But in this last year we are seeing him really get his footing.  He is finding a maturity as a Pastor that is encouraging to see.

This conference was the first of it’s kind that he was able to attend in his history of being a Pastor.

You know how many other deaf pastors showed up? 

None.  Zip. Zero.

Just Pastor Carlos and the hosting Deaf Pastor and his church.  Be it for fear or for distance - because really - how many deaf Pastors are there in all of Mexico? NOT ENOUGH!   

But this translated into an intense meeting between God and Carlos, for a time of refreshment and edification

PRAISE GOD!  He needed it!

And he has returned. Safe and sound, and recharged.  It was a blessing! 

And THANK YOU to all those that helped him afford the opportunity! 

HE IS BACK~

After to Haiti - Lonnie tells me - Honduras is the poorest country in the world.

Lonnie has returned from Honduras!  Lonnie is well and happy to be home, but quite moved by his experience there.

He tells me that of the groups that came down while there, he knew the most spanish, so his spanish being as it may - he was the interpreter . . . .

His high school spanish teacher would be proud.

He did a lot of traveling in taxicabs as he was often sent out to find this part or other to build the orphanage - and Lonnie used that captive audience to share Jesus. 

He says that the people's hearts are open to hearing.  He doesn't know if anyone accepted Jesus as their savior, but as he was building a home for kids - he was also planting seeds for the Kingdom!

Look what Lonnie's doing!
