The Canote E-Notes - 10/16/10

:) Happy Saturday! :)
Here's a quick update from the Canote Family Circus...
We wrapped up a series of revival services on Sunday at the Armstrong Baptist Church in Armstrong, MO. The Lord laid a series of messages on my heart ramping up to Sunday morning, challenging the church towards renewal and a refocus on the basics of a fruitful and rewarding church family life with an emphasis on making an impact in their community and ultimately the world. We were able to share about YUGO's work in Mexico during each service and already have at least one committed to working towards joining us on the field in Acuna. The boys led worship for the youth group and the evening worship service on Thursday night with their contemporary worship style. The rest of the time we played gospel bluegrass doing an extended worship/performance on Sunday morning. The Canote family was VERY blessed for the experience! God is good!

Today, we are heading down to southeastern Missouri to the Gladden Baptist Church about 15 miles outside Salem, MO to share some Canote Family Gospel Bluegrass. This is one of those very rare occasions where we actually have every member of our family along with their spouses....ROAD TRIP! We are so blessed to be able to serve God in this way. Of course, we'll be sharing about Mexico and looking for who in the audience with which we can begin the stalking process of luring them down to Mexico with us!

Canote E-Notes 10/01/10

Happy Friday!
It's hard to believe another week has flown by and here's another Friday. Just a quick update on the Canote family here.

Susan and I are still riding the "spiritual high" of an amazing prayer meeting at church that happened on Tuesday night of this week. Sometimes you have an experience with other people where the presence of God's Holy Spirit is so overwhelming, it's difficult to describe. This was one of those times. We're so excited to see how God is working in and through church family, drawing us together, tearing down walls, and getting us ramped for.... well, we're not sure. The truth is, we don't need to know. We just know that God is moving in a mighty way in our church home and that's a good thing. God is good...all the time!

We are moving forward on beginning to implement some of the ideas I picked up during my visit with OM. We are currently pulling together all of the information for every church and individual who has worked with YUGO in some capacity of the last 10 years. The plan is to harness and maximize the relationships which already exist. I will begin the process of re-contacting these people to talk about the possibility of them joining us on the field in Mexico in the near future.

We have a couple of gospel bluegrass performances coming up in the next couple of weeks. I will also be preaching for revival services at Armstrong Baptist Church next week. Anytime we have an opportunity to be in front of a crowd, we always take time to share about how God us working in and through our missionaries "on the ground" in Mexico.

Have a GREAT weekend! Thank you for your support and prayers!
