Hello from Wisconsin!
Elizabeth and I are here as we continue to invite more people to join our ministry support team. Currently we are at about 30 % of our monthly support goal, God has been faithful with us and we are very happy. Meanwhile, the staff team in Mexico City has already begun activities with the students for the semester. We hope to be able to join them in Mexico City soon. For now we would like to share with you Mitzi’s testimony, a student who got involved in the group last semester.
“I always wanted to be happy”
This is the phrase Mitzi, a Political Science student at the UNAM (University of National Autonomy of Mexico), uses to sum up her life before accepting Christ. This is the story that she shares with us:
I always wanted to be able to be very happy, without this happiness needing to depend on who was at my side. I just wanted to be happy for who I am and for what I have. For some time I thought I was immensely happy. I thought I had everything, a family that loved me and always supported me, friends to go out with every weekend, but most of all I had a boyfriend that I loved, and that loved me, and that made me feel very happy. When my relationship with my boyfriend started to unravel and come to an end, it was a very difficult time, because my boyfriend didn’t love me anymore and I could not imagine my life without him.
It was at this time I realized that I was empty, that the friends I had, all the parties, drunkenness, going out with different boys every week, and everything else that I was filling my life with was actually leaving me feeling more and more empty. Around this time I a guy from school started sharing with me about God, I liked how he talked about God and what he had to say. He told me that I was not alone and that God loved me in a way that nobody else could. Then he invited me to a retreat with Campus Crusade (Vida Estudiantil). I went, and it was amazing! I went full of taboos, but it was there that I decided to give my life to Christ. I experienced a happiness that I had never felt before. I felt His immense love for me, and I realized that He is always going to be with me. The happiness that I had been looking for in parties, alcohol, and men; I found giving my life to Christ. Having given my life to Christ has been the best decision that I could make, allowing Him to control my life is the most satisfying thing that’s come to me, there has never been a moment when I have felt alone or thought that life’s not worth it. Now my happiness and my emotional stability no longer depend on who is at my side.
Thank you for all your support, please pray with us for our monthly support, and than we can come back soon to Mexico City,
