Growth and Plans in the Deaf Church

Michelle Bonsell and her husband

We have plans for a deaf women’s retreat to happen in February.  But we don’t have much set yet.  We’ve invited a friend and former Rancho Sordo Mudo co-worker, Michelle Bonsell, to come and speak.  A request from the deaf ladies themselves.  She was dorm mother to several of the young ladies and is now working at another school for deaf in Los Mochis, Mexico with her husband and family. 

We have yet to book the place, or fund it, but with faith, we make our plans.  So we could use prayer, God’s anointing on the plans.  That God provides for this and that the women come, be ministered to, leave blessed and ready to bless others. 

  

Ensenada deaf congregation

at church

Carlos continues to teach with God given authority, and the congregation continues to grow.  We’ve had to move from the small meeting room to a much larger one in order to fit everyone.  And that is a good thing. Nevertheless, satan fights the growth, and people are people whether hearing or deaf.


So we have interpersonal problems/situation just like any other church that is made up of  people.  With that in mind please pray for a situation that involves hurt, feelings of betrayal, blame, and accusations. Pray that justice and healing happen among our community.

Important update for you, our supporters.

THE PFINGSTONS WILL BE MOVING SOON! 

With much prayer and consideration we are moving our home base to a small town in northern California. Though this will signify a reduced roll for us Pfingstons, Baja Compassion will continue on.         

As God provides, the Pfingstons will make trips down into Baja California for hands on ministry; signing, helping, building and counseling. From our new location we will continue organizing retreats, and other administrative tasks, inline with the ministry and vision as

God leads.

PASTOR CARLOS SUAREZ CONTINUES IN ENSENADA

The deaf church and ministry continues to thrive under the care of Pastor Carlos in Ensenada, Mexico. Pastor Carlos will continue to work under the umbrella of Baja Compassion.

The Pfingstons are moving mostly due to Lonnie’s medical needs and insurance requirements.

You have been faithful in supporting the Pfingston family through Baja Compassion Ministry and we are extremely grateful! There is no way we could do this without you!

While we do not expect you to continue support for us, should you feel led to give elsewhere, we would like to reassure you that your donations will continue to be applied directly to the ongoing ministry of Baja Compassion in Mexico

Baja Compassion Ministries, from our new home base, will continue as a means for Pastor Carlos to receive financial support, and all donations to Baja Compassion are still tax deductible.

Our new corresponding address is:

Baja Compassion Ministries 1000 Lake Davis Rd Portola, CA 96122

Since the beginning of Baja Compassion Ministries our vision has aways been not only to interpret for the deaf - but to bring the deaf of Baja California into a fuller life in Jesus. An abundant life - rich in His blessing.

Through the years you’ve helped us reach and love the deaf of Ensenada. Now in this time of transition, we are excited for the ministry that is still to come!

We are so THANKFUL for all you! Blessings on you!

Sunday service for the deaf Sep 26th

I'm starting to use some TECHNOLOGY! . . .

it's my first time taking my laptop and recording Pastor Carlos - it's all in Mexican Sign Language.  But I hope to be able to record and upload a higher quality video.

The deaf church has really been growing.  They have moved from the little room they gathered in to the larger double sized room.

Also - Praise the Lord - Deaf Ministries Worldwide gifted Pastor Carlos with a new laptop and projector!  That is what he is using in this teaching - it's WONDERFUL!

And if you do watch this video - I hope you see what we've been seeing - Pastor Carlos more at ease preaching.  It's been a long road here - where before he seemed to not have his footing, now you see a confidant and sure pastor!  It's wonderful to see.

I know it's because of the prayer support he receives -

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.

  
  

  I'd love to have your support in constant prayer! And if you desire to support financially, I'd appreciate your donation (:
