We Urgently Need Your Prayers!
|
Greetings!
We're heading down to Una Esperanza-Juarez for our annual Christmas outreach this Monday, and we need your prayers more than ever! We're looking forward to seeing God's hand at work, like we do every year, but the circumstances remain very different due to the ongoing violence in Mexico.
Mexico continues to be a very dangerous place, and Juarez in particular. Most ministries have completely stopped going to Juarez, and as was the case last year, we've had many thoughts of canceling the event this year altogether, but God has laid on our hearts that it is still in His heart to reach these kids, regardless of what we see around us.
Fear continues to be a very real, very raw emotion in Kilometer 33, as well as the rest of Juarez. There is no sense of security from the law, as the government is under siege by these same cartels. In the midst of this, we MUST bring the hope of Jesus. We believe that's where He would be (and is going to be) in the midst of this Christmas season. His perfect love has to be what casts out the fear. Toys may be just toys in some instances, but this year, they are bringing hope and love, that these kids have not been forgotten, that God has not abandoned them in the middle of this ongoing war.
We are so grateful for all of you that have responded in whatever way you can for this outreach, and we ask you to continue to pray for God's guidance and provision as we press forward. We ask you to pray for our family's protection while we are down there from the 8th to the 10th of December on our own preparing for the event, and for the team that will be joining us for the outreach event itself, December 11th through the 13th.
We ask you to pray that God's hand would be so evident to each child and each person involved in this outreach. We pray that God would lift some of the heaviness in the hearts of the people during this time, that they can be reminded that God loves them and that He has not left them, and that they are His Christmas treasures for which He gave His very own Son in exchange.
Thank you from Kingdom Flight!
