Building Strong Foundations...

The coffee and cookies were served, people were seated, and as the call for sharing homework was made, shy whisperings and laughter were heard around the room. It was the third week of meeting together with the married couples of Colonia Sinaloa. Each week the couples have been more and more willing to open up about their marital issues and share during the counseling sessions. The homework of the week was to identify “seeds” of life or death that each spouse had sown into the other, and what sort of “harvest” they were receiving as a result. Little by little the couples began sharing and recognizing the different "seeds" in their marriages. It has been an amazing experience thus far and we are eager to see what will happen in the coming weeks.

Part of Ywam Mazatlan’s goal in the communities where we work is to focus on the family, building it up through biblical principles in order to have strong families as the foundation of a strong community. Through our friendship with loving and wise counselors, Doug and Jan Taylor, we have been able to start a weekly marriage conference within Colonia Sinaloa, a community where we are currently building homes with our Homes of Hope ministry. Our heart is to see transformation in these communities and we are excited to see the fruit that it will produce!

Hope for Haiti

In light of everything that has been going on in Haiti after the earthquake, Haiti has truly been on our hearts. After the hurricanes there in 2008, we sent an outreach team to work with the YWAM bases in the country. They had the opportunity to serve the YWAMers and Haitian people, help with hurricane relief work, and make lasting connections with the people of Haiti. Then, in the May of 2009, we received an outreach team from YWAM Haiti St. Marc that stayed with us for a few weeks. They shared…

The festival begins on February 11th and ends on the 16th. There is a lot to plan, so we will keep you posted as it all unfolds. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for the event.

Mexico City Outreach

The outreach team in Mexico City has been busy reaching out to the masses in bold and relevant ways. They have seen God's hand at work through the joining of churches uniting together to reach out to the people of their city and they have had the chance to help the Haitian embassy in Mexico after the earthquake in Haiti. They have had opportunities to work in two different high schools where they have been able to go into the classrooms and share all about God and the importance of knowing Him.…
