I arrived home safely from Puerto Vallarta, MX. early in the morning. The weeks went by very quickly with so much activity in the time that we were there. What a blessing to serve in so many ways!
Now that I am back in the office for a short while I will be working on my May – December 2010 ministry schedule, do some songwriting and prepare for upcoming concerts that will be happening in San Diego in the next couple of weeks!
I look forward to hearing from you and keeping in touch!
This last Saturday Jake and I helped out with the Neighborhood Outreach at the Agape Home (for abused girls). I lead a couple of songs with my guitar and encouraged one of the girls who lives there and is very talented to sing with me. It was a wonderful time as the kids and adults heard and responded to the gospel message!
Sunday I helped the Worship Team at Paradise Community Center and did special music. Monday was our last day at the Orphanage before we leave Puerto Vallarta. We will miss the kids as I know they will miss us. Our mission and ministry efforts have come to end and we are looking forward to seeing family and friends back home! We’ll miss everyone in Puerto Vallarta and hope to be back!
The Worship in Paradise Church who has just changed their name to Paradise Community Centre had a Potluck after the Sunday service in their new facility. I sang and played as people enjoy the amazing assortment of food. There were approximately 189 people in attendance. On Wednesday the WOW women met, I led worship and it was great to see the women connect and be led by the Spirit in worship.
Jake and I are spending time at the Casa Hogar Orphanage on Monday’s and Thursday’s. We are having a great time with the kids, teaching them English on Monday’s and having a fun time on Thursday’s play day! This last Monday I went with my guitar and taught them a simple song called “When We All Get Together”. They were so excited to see a guitar and to sing along with me! It sure is easy to get attached to the kids and sometimes it’s hard to leave.
We arrived safely in Puerto Vallarta on Thursday, February 25th. We have been keeping busy with friends here on vacation, and ministry. Sunday I sang with the worship team at Paradise Churches new location, Jake helped with the sound and all went well, even without a previous practice! It was a great service!! Their new location is an answer to prayer! Monday we went with our friends Ed and Rita to help His Will, His Way Ministries teach English at the Casa Hogar Orphanage and love on the kids. It was fun! Tomorrow I will be going to a worship practice to prepare for Sunday’s service. Thursday will take us back to the Orphanage and Saturday we’ll be at the Agape Home for abused girls. Will let you know more soon!
