Praying for Darwin Jacksons

"The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another. In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

The book of Nehemiah is so powerful, exiting and practical to us these days. It seems every word speaks exactly to our situation. The work of missions is great indeed. Our churches here in Mexico are "widely spread" out, "separated"... "far from one another." Tonight, we are having a workers meeting at our downtown church where we will have the chance to "sound the trumpet."

We know if the Lord can convince our brothers and sisters to "rally" together consistently, "our God will fight for us." That is the reason for these letters as well, a sounding of the trumpet to pray, "our God will fight for us."

  • Continue to pray for the meeting of all our Sinaloa congregations on the 20th of January.
  • We had a great evening with Genaro and Carmen last night. Together we led our new sister Felipa to Jesus Christ. Now it's her husbands and three daughters turn. Genaro and Carmen will visit them again on Sunday with the hopes that Genaro can share with Felipa's husband and bring all of them to church. "Our God will fight for us."
  • Anahansi, Pastor Guadalupe's daughter is seriously pursuing her vision of becoming a missionary. She's investigating and praying about two opportunities given to her. One, going to Bolivia with our fellow workers as an intern in their work TV program ABC Kids (www.abckidsbolivia.cjb.com). The second is the idea to go to the AFLC Bible School in Minneapolis.
  • We had a very special week together with brothers Scott and Javier from Vision of Glory Lutheran Church. They have faithfully prayed and supported us for some time. It has been great to get to know them personally now and we look foreword to working closer together in mission.

Thank you all for rallying together with us to make sure God's Church is built up here in Mexico. "Our God will fight for us."

Darwin, Mary Ann and Gracie Jackson
