God is so good!
He is our…(read on and see how good He is!)

Faithful Leader…Hechos was a huge success! We fed 85-90 daily and that was my biggest contribution this year! Allan
Hernandez and his group were such a
blessing.  Their teaching and drama training were top notch and we saw so many lives changed and transformed through the grace and power of the Lord. How great to be even a small part of it! Our teams worked the streets and plazas downtown and passed out food and the good news in a very poor area of Zacatecas. God used each and every one of them.

Faithful Healer…The doctor has not given me his blessings to return to Zacatecas  yet, as he feels my jaw is not healed enough. Lord willing, I will be able to go home soon for at least a month before
returning for one more surgical procedure. God has been so good as I was looking at a titanium jaw replacement at this time last month! PTL!

Faithful Father…August 2nd was spent rejoicing as Anissa married Dave Clutter in a beautiful ceremony in Wayzata MN. It was planned for Zacatecas but after Dave
developed a blood clot (he had recent knee surgery) he was told he could not travel for 6 months. So, change of plans. God worked it out with the help of many friends and lots of family. It was beautiful. Katy and Horacio and family were able to drive up for it and it was so good to have them here for a week. I will try to send photos next time.

Faithful Provider…we still need a teacher for this fall. We continue to rejoice in the truth that God knows every need we have…and just how to meet them!

May He continue to faithfully lead, heal, love
and provide for you in very real and deep ways.
Our love to you all,
Lee Anne, Katy, Horacio, Kasey, Ryan, Molly, Max and Sofie

April 2009 Newsletter

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

April was full of amazing weather and hard working people!
Blessings abound!!

MCA Team…These folks did a round of painting and other small work projects and then we had fun! They always bring so many wonderful things for us all. The clothing and gifts were all perfect and then they took the orphans shoe shopping and everyone got new shoes, too. Plus…pizza, parks, playgrounds, tacos and burgers. A great Easter week for everyone! Thanks to all who helped these young people make this trip. I listened to their testimonies and weeks end and am so blessed to hear all the things that God taught them while they were with us. PTL

Swine Flu Update…So many of my faithful prayer warriors have asked about the flu scare recently. That is just what is was…a scare. I cannot believe what the media can do these days! No one can assure anyone of their personal safety. We never know what the next day will bring. I have learned though, that we are only as safe as we are obedient. In other words, go in faith or stay in faith…knowing that is what God wants you to do. So, please continue to hold us up in prayer. For our safety, yes, but more than, pray that we will be obedient to God’s direction day by day.

Hechos…Plans are continuing for our summer outreach, July 13-22. We should have about 40 American teens and the same number of Mexicans who will be challenged and encouraged for the first 5 days of a mission conference. Then they will all spend 5 days on the streets working with local churches evangelizing their neighborhood. Everyone is a missionary! I love it! Please pray for those who will attend and the folks they will be reaching., as well as all who are/will be working so hard to make it all happen!

It is a continual joy and privilege to be in partnership with each of you…
serving the Lord together!
Our love to you all,
Lee Anne, Katy, Horacio, Kasey, Ryan, Molly, Max and Sofie
