The Pomares                    May  2014 Dear friends, It is a pleasure to be able to write about what happened in our National Conference few weeks ago, thank you very much for praying for this time and what God did in our lives and in the students that participated. In total we had 144 people, 110 of them were college students and the rest were staff, friends and volunteers with the Ministry. Truthfully, this has been one of the conferences in recent years that has given us the most encouragement. This year the Conference theme was "Follow Me" based on the passages where Jesus invited his disciples to leave everything and follow him. Our desire was to see students growing in their desire to be with Jesus and follow him wherever He calls them.

One of our most emotional moments was when 13 students were baptized on the last day of the Conference. It was a special time and all that were there could see how God was working  greatly in the college students from Mexico. A story worthy of sharing is the story of the siblings Pablo and Ingrid. Pablo received Christ last year when he came to our Conference. When he went back to his city, he  was involved in a discipleship group at his University with Cru.  Throughout the year he was praying for his sister, Ingrid, that she would come to the Conference this year. The morning of last day of the Conference, Ingrid received Christ and that day that we had baptisms they both were baptized. Pablo was super happy to see his sister put their faith in Jesus and be baptized alongside of him. We were also happy to witness this take place. It is these kinds of stories that encourage us to continue to invest our lives in reaching college students for Christ. We also thank you because with you we are a team that goes together to transform Mexico and the world with the message of the Gospel. Here is a picture of them. As a family it was a challenge as Leah and Ian were sick during this time at the  conference, both with the flu. But by the grace of God, everything went very well. Prayer requests: That students put into practice everything God taught them during the Conference. That Cru staff give a good follow-up in our universities from what happened in the  Conference. Please pray for Leah’s health since she has not felt very well lately. .
