Prayer time with our Sunday School Class In Asheville


Pray for Pedro, that he too will accept Jesus.


This is Mimicka, she has now found her Savior!



Isaiah 11:6 ...and a little child will lead them.
This is Migue and Pepe and I think this verse is perfect for them!



This is Mike when he was here with Petra and Prisiliano. They were at our house today when Mike's class did the video prayer time. Prisiliano was so touched to have Mike pray for him!

Prayer time with the BBC class.


I love that God called us to be missionaries at a time when technology is so advanced! It makes communication so much easier than it was for those who were on the field years ago. Today we had a video prayer time using Skype, with our Sunday School class at Biltmore Baptist Church. It was awesome to be able to connect with them and help them understand a little bit more about our lives here in Mexico. We had some of our believers present and they were really surprised that you could actually communicate through the computer. Keep in mind they don't really understand email, so imagine them trying to understand how they could see people and talk to them through the computer. It was neat! I took a few pictures while they were praying, ( I was praying in spirit, but had to capture the moment for all of you to see!) It was so neat to hear their prayers in 3 different languages, Purepecha, Spanish and English. I know God had to be smiling! It meant a lot to us all that Mike took us back to our class and has made us come alive to them. I know our believers here were touched to see so many Americans praying for them. Especially since they are sometimes treated as if they aren't important.
Then tonight our friend Mimicka came over and shared with us that her children had come home after our Bible study on Monday and had explained to her that they had made decisions to follow Jesus. They told her that they understood that they were sinners and wanted to accept Jesus as their Savior. So they told her that during our study on Monday night that they had prayed to invite Jesus into their hearts. I taught the class on Monday night and so I knew that this could have happened and I was wondering what she was going to say next.
She then explained how her oldest (8) had told their dad he wanted him to stop drinking and that he himself was going to start obeying. She then told me she too wanted to invite Jesus into her heart. So after going through a short Bible study she too invited Jesus into her heart. She then asked Greg if he would come by their house this week and share this message with her husband Pedro. Please pray that Pedro would receive this message well too. We are PRAISING God tonight! It has truly been a great day! Thank you ALL for praying! Missy
