Here's something you could pray about...

The link below is to an article that addresses an issue we are dealing with as a Christian ministry working in Mexico. As I'm sure you well know, the media has had a lot to say lately about the "violence in Mexico". Unfortunately, the American public is not really getting the whole story and it's really hurting Christian ministries working in Mexico. The reality is not quite as "sensational" as what we've been getting reported.

I myself listened to a news report just yesterday on Fox News that, had I not listened to the entire report, I might have missed some pretty important information.

I.E. The city of Juarez, Mexico has been touted in the news as having had a "blood bath" over the last couple of years. And we're hearing that law enforcement officials in U.S. border towns are "worried" the violence will spill over into the United States. However, El Paso, TX, located just north of the border from Juarez, Mexico is still rated as the "3rd safest city of it's size" in America!

The truth is, there is violence all around us all the time. It's also a fact that the Great Commission doesn't actually mention anything about "safety" or "security". We're trusting in the Lord and we're not the least bit concerned for our safety in Mexico.

Please take the time to click the link below and read the entire article. This will help you pray specifically, not only for our ministry efforts, but also for all the Christian ministries working in Mexico.
