October and Where I’m At

At the end of this
month all of the staff and stu-
dents of YWAM Mazatlan will
be heading down to Guadala-
jara to celebrate the 50th An-
niversary of YWAM. It’s called
the Jubilee and the theme is,
“The Flame Goes Forward.”
While on my Out-
reach in Nigeria, I celebrated
the Jubilee in Port Harcourt
with the base there. I’m ex-
cited to go and see what the
celebration will be like in Mex-
ico, and with my own family
and close friends. I feel so
blessed to have the opportu-
nity to attend two of these
celebrations!
Not only will I get
to go to another Jubilee
Celebration, but my brother
and his family are also going
to Guadalajara to share it
with us! Which means I’ll be
getting to see my beautiful
niece again. The family and
I are excited to be re-
united :)
I’m doing okay
when it comes to my fi-
nances right now. I have
just enough to pay for my
trip to Guadalajara and
staff fees for a few more

that starts next summer and
also for the rest of my staff
fees. My goal right now fi-

USD by the time I leave staff
here in June
Please pray and
consider partnering with me
in reaching this goal! It would
be wonderful and a huge
blessing for your support in
either, or both areas. I am so
glad for to have everyone of
you praying and supporting
me. I couldn’t do this without
any of you!!!
 Strengthen the weak hands,
And make firm the feeble knees,
Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong! Do not fear! Behold,
Your God will come with vengeance.
With the recompense of God;
He will come and save you.”
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped,
Then the lame shall leap like deer,
And the tongue of the mute sing,
For waters shall burst forth in wilderness,
And streams in the desert,
Jazmin, a little girl I got to The parched ground shall become a pool,
know and play with during
the house build. And the thirsty land springs of water;…
Isaiah 35: 3-7
