Westwood men moving dirt in Chan Chen.

News from our volunteer missions leader Page Hughes

Thank you to all of you who prayed for ladies event today. It was a

joy to see and hear so many women who longed to grow in their faith.

Cherylyn was a beautiful lady who came needing a special touch from

God. She is a ministering leader in an English speaking church in

Cancun. Through a broken heart, she shared how there were power

struggles in the church. They were trying to work through them, but

their hearts were heavy. We prayed for the church and prayed for the

leadership of the church.

Cherylyn represents one of about thirty women who came today to hear a

word from God. God spoke through Liam, a Spanish-speaking friend from

the church at Playa as she sang. Our team gave testimonies and we

even had an artistic team member paint to the “Resurrection Song.”

The messages were well received as a each lady were challenged to live

out their walks with Jesus and lead others to relationship with Him.

Each lady went home filled with delicious food and a gift bag filled

with goodies in addition to a fresh word from God.

Please continue to lift up this team as tomorrow will be worshiping

with two churches here in Mexico.

The Hotel Worker's training Center taking shape in Chan Chen

It has been an exciting time in the small Mayan village of Chan Chen. Yes, we still have a long way to go but now we are beginning to see real progress. This is what we hope to see by the fall of this year, 20 High School students enrolled in our training program. This program will take students in their last two years of High School and teach them conversational English and skills

needed to work in tourism. It is our hope that at least half of these student would want to continue on to college in Playa where we will continue to work with them through the ministries of our church in Playa. The long term dream is that many of theses college graduates would return to their villages as missionaries to help educate and evangelize the next generation . We need your prayers, we are still so far from the finish line it would be easy to give up. Pray that the funds would come in and that God would start working now in the hearts of these future missionaries.
