Dear Friends and Ministry Partners,
Greetings from Mexicali! Praising God for His Provisions and I’m so grateful for my air conditioner cooling my little cozy place! It’s been hot here in Mexicali. We had been in the high 90’s and a few times we reached 102F degrees. Summer is just around the corner and we’re halfway through 2023. It felt like we just greeted the New Year yesterday, but pretty soon we’ll be getting ready for Christmas shopping. |
Ministry Update:
Time flies! I’ve been here in Mexicali for 9 months now. I’ve been helping in the Seminary’s library cataloguing books and we’re still working on them. They were books that was donated to the Seminary. |
![]() In February, we welcomed Rev. Dr. David Wheeler, one of our MTS (Masters in Theology in Latino/a Ministries Program) Professors as our main speaker for a 3 days conference the Seminary hosted here in Mexicali. Then, the next day, I drove Dr. Wheeler and the Seminary’s Director, Pastor Gregorio Gamboa to Ensenada, and on the 3rd day of the conference, we went to Tijuana. For the three days of conference, we had very good attendance, and it was so nice to see some of the MTS students that live in Tijuana. From Tijuana, the following day, I drove Dr. Wheeler back to the San Diego Airport. In March, I drove again to Tijuana. I met with Adalia Gutierrez-Lee (my area director), Sarah McCurdy (IM’s Education Coordinator for Iberoamerica and the Caribbean), also with Deliris & Moise Carrion-Joseph (IM Global Servants in Tijuana). We spent time talking about how we can help meet the needs of the Deborah’s House Ministry. At this time, the proposal for the project still needs to be written and approved, and also the budget needs to be raised.
Rev. Dr. Wheeler |
