2 Aug. 2015 Newsletter Traveling now in the United States that I will share next month. This trip is for our ministry, and I will have surgery on my right shoulder. Beti is in Zihuatanejo and she will have surgery there on Sept. 8 th. Please keep both of us in your prayers. At the beginning of the month of Aug. I was in Zirahuen, Michiocan, 4 hours from Zihuatanejo. I stayed with some missionary friends who live there, but the purpose was to check out some churches in the area for three families I have been sharing Jesus with. These families are finding Jesus is the real deal and Who is our hope for our tomorrows, forever. The two churches are one large one that holds their services Sunday morning in Pascaro, 20 minutes from Zirahuen, and a small church in Zirahuen Sunday evening very close to where these families live. I had seen the church, but never met the pastors or any people who attended these churches. I made the effort to be away from Zihuatanejo Christian Fellowship, the heart of my life at this time and visited these churches as I wanted to know if they were solid churches in following the Bible and that Jesus was their head pastor. I found out He was like He is for Zihuatanejo Christian Fellowship. Jesus is our pastor and I, Pastor John, work for Pastor Jesus.
3 Cristian and Beti are handling ZCF along with all our other ministries. It is our slowest time of the year and even so our work is still very active in all our missions. Let's look at some photos in what happened in August of this year. God is opening hearts of many people; children, parents, seniors and and visitors to our churches. Praise the Lord. SS4square misión team Thank you Pastor Rob and Debbie Warner for the great team you bring every year. Thank you Brooke, Kaylee, Amanda, and Camryn.
4 Beti s Letter Assurely, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 Two little angels: Kailany and Keren. The pastor Gabriel and Miriam Pachuca from the 1 st Baptist church in Petatlan. He shared a powerful sermon in ZCF.
5 These kids are from colonia 6 de enero. We shared the message of salvation with the puppets we gpt from the brother Daniel Vergara, Foursquare Coordinator in Latin America. The material he gave us has been a blessing to our missions with kids!
6 Some of the children s mothers are getting involved more with us in some activities. These two ladies have come to Christ already! The Lord uses the kids to reach the mother s hearts. It is so important to celebrate happy birthdays!
7 I love to see them praying they know God listens to us Game day for the kids at the mission in Playa Linda.
8 The staff from the Hotel Azul in Ixtapa are visiting our missions with kids to encourage them to keep our beaches, our city clean. We have visited the Hotel to watch videos that showed us the consequences of the pollution the kids are more interested in our environment now. Thank God!
9 God bless you. Beti Sullivan Cristian s Newsletter This is Cristian Cruz wanting to thank you all for your faithfullness in praying and supporting my familyas we continue to serve Jesus in the gospel of life. Alot has been going on while we have been here. We have seen the faithfullness of God in new believers. Our church plant is getting bigger. People are responding great to the preaching. The church is working as a family. The ladies help like momms and the few men we have are like fathers. The youth group is getting big in spirit and in number.
10 There is a Young man named Alejandro who has surpprized me in his growth. He is hungry for Jesus and shows it in church and outside of church. Alejandro is testifying to his friends at school. In church he serves in anything he can. He is my right hand man and we spend allot of time with him. He has become as a son to my wife and me. Eduardo is a fourteen year old teen who recently in April gave his lfe to Jesus. He was hungry for paternity. We are priveleged to guide him into God s loving hands. He is beeing discipled and is standing firm with his faith even in the midst of his troubled home. Eduardo is a very loving Young man and he needs allot of love because i see my old self in him. He no longer uses marihuana and has found refuge in the youth group.
11 Jonathan is a teen from the dump who has been firm in his faith and is also a leader with the youth group. It is difficult for him as a Young man going through temptations like most of us but has decided Jesus is his only way to life. Even though he lives in the dump he has found courage to be different and not conform himself to the life style of a garbage picker the rest of his life. He started high school this month and then college Lord willing in a couple of years. There are many things that are beeing done like making relationships with their parents, seeing them in church and spending time with them. There are a Little over 20 young men and women who face adversities in their walk with Jesus because of their family and their catholic faith. Plese pray for us we need your help. Here are the names of most of them Wendy, Ruby, David, Ismael, Dany, Mitchell, Sandy, Adrián, Vicente, Sharon, Josué, Evelyn, Nery, José Manuel, Leonardo (has stoped coming), Elijah, Miriam, Pilo, Noé, Yasmin.
