THANKSGIVING in MEXICO

 

The children were upstairs playing and another couple had to return to work, as Thanksgiving is not a holiday here in Mexico.

SHARING the GOSPEL

Wendy, a recent high school graduate whose family attends Mount Hebron has joined Stephanie and I on Tuesday soulwinning a few times. Pictured here are Stephanie and Wendy witnessing to some vendors in the town square.

Wendy goes soulwinning regularly with the youth on Friday nights.  Pastor Jonathan often joins them; he took this picture of Francisco and Andrew downtown.

MISSIONS CONFERENCE

There were many country displays to represent the various countries of our missionaries.  One team chose our Institute and featured pictures of graduates serving in various places.  They set up a little mini-airport complete with tickets to the mission field.  Lucas particularly enjoyed the airplane.

Here is a picture of after almost any church service.

MOVING DAY

Due to a property dispute involving the land of Mount Hebron, several of  us who live on the property are moving.  It has been decided that I will live at Jon & Jenny's for the time being.  Our long-term solution (subject to change) will be to take over the rent on the house of the couple in Language School (Stephanie, my soul-winning partner, and her husband).  Their house is 3 houses away from Jenny's.

While shared households can be stressful, we have decided to focus on the positives:  more home-cooked meals for me; more frequent free babysitting for them.  :)  Well, maybe that's really two positives for me: 
I love being "Aunt Emy!"

 

My new view of the beautiful mountain.

Addendum:  The church and school buildings are not involved in the proceedings.  We are having all regularly scheduled church services and seeing people saved and baptized every week.  We are planning to resume Institute classes in January.

MOUNT HEBRON CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

We are still having school every day. I believe it to be a part of my ministry to keep stability as much as possible for the children whose lives are a bit topsy-turvy right now. Jessica’s children have missed two days in order to pack and may have to miss more.  Francisco and Sammy's parents (who are on church staff, but live off property) have been working hard to help everyone involved.

Our last scheduled day before Christmas Break is Wednesday, December 20.  We are going to have a big party and a surprise for the students -- I think they are going to like it!

*ADDENDUM:  PTL!  Leo and Jessica found a place about 15 minutes away from the church and school.  They have been approved to move in on December 1st, but really would like to do so before then.
Some families are still looking.

PRAYER CORNER
Thank you for taking the time to pray for Mount Hebron Baptist Church and our ministries.  Please pray for 
Pastor Jonathan & Mrs Jenny and their children.  Please pray for Leo and Jessica, as well as several 
other families that will be moving.  Please pray for the Bible Institute to be able to resume classes in January.  And most of all, pray for souls to be won and lives to be changed.
