“To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, Amen!”
We have just arrived in San Luis de La Paz and already we’ve seen the Lord doing immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine!
We left the MAC parking lot at 4 a.m. Friday morning in two vans, excited and ready for what was ahead but not sure why we were leaving so early – now we know! We made excellent time and by noon were at the border ready to cross. We stopped and prayed before entering the immigration line and immediately began praising the Lord when we got the green light to go ahead. We did have to get individual visas (which you can only get there) and the permits for the vans. We were almost through when we discovered a problem with the papers for one of the vans and had to return to San Antonio! No one complained, we prayed that the agency would remain open until we arrived, they did, and we got the papers and drove off as they closed their doors!!
We arrived back at the border before they closed down for the night and arrived at our hotel in Saltillo at 2:30 a.m. Again we stopped and thanked the Lord for His guidance and protection (Phil Davenport said that his prayer life is up to date for the next year!) After a good night’s rest and a wonderful Mexican breakfast we began our adventure of this day.
Already we’ve had good fellowship and lots of laughter as we practiced our Spanish choruses with the accordion in one of the rooms at our Hotel (the manager didn’t think it would be wise to use the lobby) and then with Pastor Alberto and his wife, and Sara – our doctor—and her husband, as we discussed the plans for the week.
We will begin our day tomorrow by going to the “Lord of the little Mountain” statue to pray over the city. Many years ago this city was claimed for the devil but tomorrow we will have the opportunity to claim it for our Lord, as so many of you have already been doing these past few months. What a joy that time in prayer will be for us. From there we will go to the church and celebrate the Lord’s Day – and Father’s Day –with them, and then on to the Chichimeca Mission to Prayer Walk that area and prepare everything for Monday.
We are so thankful for your prayer support to this point but we ask you to pray even harder as we face the days ahead. We found out tonight that we might have as many as four doctors working with us and that is “exceedingly above” what we were asking or thinking! God is good ALL THE TIME!
In His service,
Your Chichimeca Team
