Fellowship


We've had two very relaxed days catching up with people and recovering from our 38 hour journey. "How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!" Psalm 133. This afternoon I went to see a house being built for a poor family, it's looking good!
Sam went to a session for women at the church "Vida Abundante" in Tuxtla where we are based for this mission.
We're preparing to reach out to some families in a nearby village where we want to plant a church. It's a little bit hot but we're having a great refreshing time with friends.
We will soon update you with some action in the field!

Introduction to what we're up to...

Both Sam and I are very excited about this new chapter unfolding in our lives. We are very expectant as to what the Lord has in store for us as we help with outreaches, church-planting, dance ministry and begin plans to open an orphanage.

There is still a week to go and well... what can I say? We are leaving behind in England a well paid job, a prosperous, comfortable and growing ministry in pursuit of God's calling. I initially saw "men moving like trees", but I can now see deeper. Sam is working very hard in her last week at work, and as for me there is a lot of painting to do in the houses. We'll fly on the 20th and once there we intend to write as often as we can. Our desire is to update you on the mission progress with pics and videos, so that you can also be encouraged and share in the same joy we do. Bless you!! Mario
