News!!

All rightie! A new month has come, and with it some exciting news:

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)

I so identify with that verse right now. In the best of ways! I had plan to spend the second half of the year in Colombia, learning about communications for the Kingdom. Well it seems that Papa’s plan was along the lines of communications, but quite in the way I thought.

I just got an internship position at Bethel Church in Redding, California, to help translate all the material of the School of Supernatural Ministries! This is a huge blessing and a dream come true, as I have a deep respect and appreciation for this church and the way their community brings His Kingdom. It is also a chance to extend this amazing revelation to the Spanish speaking countries, which is where my heart is.

I’m really excited about this opportunity, and I ask you to pray with me for the things that need to be worked out so that this calling may be fulfilled:

• The grace, favor and skill to do all that’s required of me as I fill this position. I’ll be working with the group that coordinates the planting of new schools at Bethel, so there’s more to it than the translating.
• The timing and logistics to work out. I might need a different kind of Visa than the one I currently have, so please pray with me that I can get it and that it would be ready on time for me to start my job.
• The finances. This is not a paid position. This is one of the biggest challenges for me, since life in Latinamerica is much cheaper. Right now I don’t have a specific amount of how much I would need, but I’ll let you know as soon as I do. In the mean time, please pray with me for Daddy’s provision. He’s always been so faithful at that!

I’ll let you know more details as I find out more of the specifics… Thanks for taking the time to read this and share this joy with me!! Please let me know what you’re up to and how I can pray for you as well.

Be abundantly blessed!

I Can Do All Things...

Very famous verse: Philippians 4:13... 


Not so famous context: 
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:12-13).


Riiight! So, even tho' I've used this verse many times as an encouragement to get over situations. I think it can work like that too... but, God is giving me more and more revelation of what Paul meant, and what that means in my life. "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty..." Such is life! Specially the life of a missionary to the Nations. Don't get me wrong I don't think having a "misery mentality" is what Paul is talking about here, and neither am I. 


A few weeks ago I was in Santa Fe, Argentina having lunch with a family from a local church, and they asked a friend and I if we'd ever been "in need" while travelling. I've experienced God's faithful provision for many years, He's taking me to amazing places from Africa to Europe, to South America... so I could never said I was in need! But no, I usually don't stay at hotels, nor do I always eat food that I would prefer, or even have greatest accommodations. ...so my reply was, -people always give us their best- and it's true.


Everywhere I've had the privilege to go, the body of Christ has received us with the best they have. So while that might mean a hut in an indigenous community (been there), it might also be a room all to myself in a home house (done that too). Thus, I prefer The Message's version of Philippians, just because it's more what I've lived:


"I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am". :)
