Hello everyone,
God is faithful. He continues His work in our lives and all around us and all we can do is stand in awe of Him! Lamentations 3:22-23 says, "Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." We'll share one way that God has shown His faithfulness in Chihuahua with CC Roca Norte and one way that He's shown His faithfulness here in the U.S. with Roca Norte Missions. After that I highly encourage you to check out the praise reports and prayer requests at the end as many of them are directly from Pastor Jose.
Although we could share many things about what God is doing in Chihuahua, one that has been a HUGE blessing for the church and Pastor Jose is the arrival of David Galicia to serve as an intern at the church. David graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College in Ensenada and will now be spending at least the next few months in Chihuahua serving Jesus at CC Roca Norte. David will be serving in a sort of Assistant Pastor role, primarily taking on the youth ministry and helping in many other ways around the church. I know David has been a great blessing to Pastor Jose and we're excited to hear how God continues using David to bring Christ glory in Chihuahua!
Here on the U.S. side, we have an exciting praise report! Roca Norte Missions has officially received it's legal 501(c)(3) status from the IRS! That was the final step we were waiting for and it happened much sooner than we thought it would! I've attached the IRS letter below. :) Please pray that the Lord would give us wisdom on how to best support and encourage the work in Chihuahua and throughout all of Mexico. If you or your church would like to support what God is doing in Mexico, you can contact me directly or find more info on website listed below.
Thanks for all of you prayer and support and may we continue to rest in God's faithfulness that is new each morning! God bless!
-Tim
Eph. 3:20-21
