Cinco de Mayo

May 5, 2005 in Culture, Mexico, Prayer by Dave | 2 comments

Greetings from the road! We are on the road in De Soto, Missouri, where we celebrated a wonderful Wednesday night service.

Today is the National Day of Prayer, and I hope that many people will be spending time praying for our country and the leaders that govern us. Also, today is Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican celebration that commemorates the temporary turning back of the French occupation at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, a celebration that signifies the Mexicans? determination to defend themselves. More recently, it has become celebration of Mexican culture, and a time each year that an increasing number of Americans can sample the Mexican fiesta.

It is our hope that in the midst of the celebration, each one of you will take the time to pray for our neighbors to the south. As you pray, ask that the Holy Spirit would be able to break down the Mexican resistance to the gospel, to allow them to open their eyes to the opportunity to have a relationship with God and the blessings that come when they make Jesus their Lord.

Where have we been?

Well as the song goes, ?We?ve been everywhere man.? All over Missouri that is. I recently did some tabulation and realized that we have been in over 140 meetings and services over the past year, sharing with a number of our churches all over Southern Missouri.
More recently, we had chance to hold services on April 27th in Cuba, Missouri at Calvary Assembly, where we had a great time answering the congregation?s questions about Mexico.

This weekend, we were at Bethel Assembly in Springfield Missouri, where the congregation invited Dave to participate a celebration honoring the May birthdays in the church, even though his birthday is April 22nd. You can view the pictures included in this post. We also had the honor of being the very first world missionaries at a new church plant in Rogersville, MO, called Grace Church.

We appreciate the opportunity to share our burden with each congregation, and we are extremely grateful for each one who has committed to pray for us, and give sacrificially to see disciples made in Mexico.

Thank you to First Assembly of God in Ft Myers Florida.  They are the most recent members of our support team!  Their monthly commitment places our support at 61% of what we will need in order to leave for Mexico.  We appreciate each gift and, more importantly, the prayers that accompany them.
