February 2016 Dear friends, Of all the activities we hold every week, one of the most enjoyable ones is that every Friday I meet with 5 students who lead a missional community in their faculties.  Their areas of study are as follows: Josué - electromechanical Engineering, David - Physics, Gabo - Electrical Engineering, Uriel - Environmental Engineering, Israel - Electronics.  I get together with them for our discipleship study, which is a chance to invest in their lives, pray for one another, and encourage them to keep touching the lives of their university friends.  It has been really cool to see how they’ve been growing in their faith and how much they want to reach their university in the role of leading a missional community through which they invite other students to know Jesus. In the picture from left to right is Uriel, Israel, Gabo and myself, Josue is not in the picture this time.

As far as our family goes, we had an excellent end-of-year vacation, where the kids enjoyed visiting with our relatives. They just got over the sniffles, that may be because it’s been pretty cold here lately.  Liz has had a few health setbacks, too: sometimes she has tried to eat a food that she thinks is safe but turns out not to be.  Accidentally eating gluten has made her sick, so we’re still continuing treating her thyroid issues and the celiac disease with the help of doctors. The last 3 weeks she is feeling so much better, she recently went to a doctor appointment and her doctor said she is doing great.  Thank you so much for praying for her health.

We are grateful for each and every one of you.  Thanks for partnering with us to continue bringing the message of the gospel to the university students in Mexico. Prayer requests: - That we would be able to continue investing in the lives of the student leaders that we are meeting with regularly, that we would be given deep wisdom as we help them to know and serve Christ better. - That God would continue raising up student leaders in the universities in Mexico. - For Liz’s health, that God would strengthen her body and her immune system. Also we are very close to our National Student Conference for Vida Estudiantil (CRU) in Mexico. The name for this year is "MULTIPLICADOS" or Multiplied, will be from March 20 to the 24 in Puebla Mexico. We are very excited about the conference and we want a lot of students to come but some times the money is a issue for many of them so if you want to support a student to come let us know, the price for each student is 130 usd.
