. Dios Me Ve Ministries Dear brothers and sisters, we are at a lack of words when it comes to expressing how grateful we are with the Lord and with you for such an amazing partnership. We are so grateful to the Lord for all his countless blessings to his ministry of Dios Me Ve and to our family. During this month of October, we have had a lot of activities going on in the ministry of Dios Me Ve and in the community of the Colonia 89, where we could clearly see how God s all mighty hand was in control. We ask you to please continue to have all of us in your prayers as we daily serve the Lord with our lives in the vision that He has given us for His ministry of Dios Me Ve. On the 7 th of October God gave the members of the congregation of Dios Me Ve, the people of the community of the Colonia 89, our family and our brothers and sisters in Christ from Hands of Mercy the blessing of building three small houses for three different families in need of a home in the community of the Colonia 89. The three houses were built for three 5 member families that were in great need of a home as they each only had a small room for their family that they had built with whatever material they could find (tarps, pieces of lumber, rugs, cardboard, etc.). It was a long day of hard work as we had three construction projects going on at the same time in different parts of the Colonia 89. Everyone that helped showed nothing but joy and team work as they all came together to bless these families. It was such an incredible day of service; the families even expressed their gratitude by making some tortillas and burritos for all of us. The Lord was truly showing us all His love through the lives of these families and through all His children that were working hard as a body of Christ. Although we know what a huge blessing the homes were for these families in need, we pray that the testimony of love that was given that day by the so many brothers and sisters that helped would be an even greater blessing to their lives and an encouragement to seek Christ above all things.
This 14 th of October the ministry of Dios Me Ve was once again blessed with the visit of the students of the Calvary Chapel Bible College Campus San Miguel. The students came to bless the congregation and the community of the Colonia 89 with their amazing service. They lent a helping hand with one of the construction projects that we had and they repainted the plaza and retaining walls around the buildings of Dios Me Ve. Since early morning everyone was hard at work painting and mixing cement for the cement slap in between the church building and the children s building of Dios Me Ve. But of course their service didn t end here. While some of the students were working hard painting and doing construction others were with the kids of the community. Our brothers and sisters planned a VBS program for the kids where they had many songs, games and activities that the kids and some adults got to enjoy, they even had a fun skit for everyone. After so much work and fun we were blessed with some delicious hamburgers that some of our sisters of the Bible College and of the congregation of Dios Me Ve helped cook and prepare. It was such a blessing to see how the students from the Bible College and the members of the congregation were having a great time of fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with the kids and everyone that joined us on that day. We are always so blessed to be able to have these times of fellowship and service amongst each other.
On October 20 th, our brothers and sisters in Christ from Calvary Chapel Victor Ville, Calvary Chapel Redemption Hills and Calvary Chapel Apple Valley, blessed us with an amazing Parent s Seminar. In the Colonia 89 there is such a great need for biblically based teachings on how to be a parent and guide your children according to God s will, that this seminar truly came at a perfect time. The teachings that were shared by our brothers and sister in Christ were such a blessing for the parents that attended the seminar, as some of the topics and situations that were dealt in the teachings are very real to them for they are things that they are currently facing in their homes as parents. During the seminar there were many parents that had several question and doubts about parenting. Thanks to God some received the answers and encouragement that they needed to guide and teach their children like arrows in their quiver. We praise God for all that was said and taught that day as we know that He was in control of it all. Towards the end of the seminar there was an open invitation to pray for all those that desired prayer; it was during this moment where we could see how God was working in the lives of those that went. Some of the parents that attended the seminar are part of the community of the Colonia 89 that don t usually go to the bible classes at Dios Me Ve so it was a great joy and blessing to see them sit in through each one of the teachings and ask for prayer. After the seminar was over we had a great time of fellowship with an incredibly delicious taco dinner with all the parents and their children. We are always so motived and encouraged by the visits of our family in Christ that come to teach and spend time with the members of the congregation of Dios Me Ve, with the community of the Colonia 89 and with us. Please continue to keep all the families of the Colonia 89 in your prayers as there are many that have the desire to seek the Lord but are discouraged to do so by the many circumstances of their lives.
All through October we were blessed with so many opportunities to serve the Lord and share His love with the people of the community of the Colonia 89. On October 28 th we had the blessing of receiving the visit of our brothers and sisters in Christ from Living Truth Christian Fellowship for our yearly toy outreach. We were blessed with privilege of sharing the Lord s love with over 300 kids and over 100 women. Each child was able to receive a toy and prayer and each mother was able to receive a gift, a pantry and prayer. In addition to the toys, gifts, pantries and prayers, the Lord provided to be able to bless the people of the community with a delicious hamburger lunch that our sisters prepared with a great amount of love. Sincerely, there is always so much to do during this day as it can be very difficult to keep so many people in order and moving smoothly in and out of the buildings without causing trouble. We are blessed to say that on this occasion we had so many brothers and sisters in Christ working together, lending a helping hand and joyfully serving that things turned out great. We know that God was surely in control of all that was done that day as none of this would have been possible with our own strength. We are so grateful that as a family in Christ we were once again given the opportunity to be able to bring Christmas in October for all the kids of the community of the Colonia 89. There is still so much more that the Lord has in store for this community and its surrounding areas. We hope that you can all continue to keep us in your prayers as we move forward in the vision that the Lord has placed in our hearts. Thank you so much for another amazingly blessed month of partnership in the Lord s ministry of Dios Me Ve. We pray the Lord continues to bless you always; as for us, we will remain in the battle ground were the Lord has placed us faithfully serving Him in all things.
