The Pomares Family                    June  2014


Dear friends,
It´s a pleasure to share with you again what has been happening with us and our ministry in Puebla.This time we want to share a little bit of Jessi´s story, who is a student leader now at  BUAP, she studies environmental engineering and is close to finishing her studies.
We met Jessica almost 3 years ago when we were starting the ministry in her university, she had recently received Christ through an aunt in her hometown. She was studying far away though so she had not had the chance to be helped by someone in her walk with Christ. Liz began to meet with her weekly to help her grow in her faith, soon we saw how God was working in her life. Jessica began accompanying us to our local church, and 8 months later she was baptized in our church.
Also whenever she had vacation, Jessi traveled to her village where her family lived, which is about 8 hours from Puebla. Each time she could she shared with her ​​mother and siblings what she was learning about Christ. Gradually, her family began accepting Christ. First one of her sisters, then her younger brother, her older sister and more recently, her mother.
Over the years we have seen how God has been using Jessi not only to win friends in college to Christ, but also her family. And this last Sunday we had the privilege of watching her two sisters, who now live in Puebla, also got baptized in our church. We noticed the incredible joy in Jessi's face when her sisters were baptized.
In the pictures below, the first is a photo of Jessi being baptized two years ago, Leah was only a few months old. The others pictures are from this past sunday of her ​​sister´s baptism.
It´s  a real  privilege to see how God is working in the lives of the students like Jessi, who want  to know and make Christ known to the people around them. It is a joy for us to be used by God to see more and more students from this university committed to Jesus.
On the family side, Leah has become much healthier, thanks to God. Leah is learning new words fast and as well as she is learning two languages. It  ​​is fun to listen when she mixes the words or choose the easiest words of the two languages ​​to answer.
Ian, on the other hand, has grown as well and weighs 20 pounds now. Recently, he started to crawl and now we have to keep an eye on everything in the house so that Ian does not get hurt or he puts everything he finds in his mouth. ;)
Thank you so much for teaming with us to see stories like these. Your prayer and financial support is vital to the task that God has given us. We go together to transform our countries one student at a time.

Prayer requests:

For Jessi and her family to continue to grow in their walk with Christ.

That God allows us to keep seeing more students knowing Christ.

That our children are healthy.

 

Luis, Liz,Leah, e Ian Pomares
