The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because He has annointed me to preach the good news to the poor. Isaiah 61:1
Who are we to choose who God can save, or who gets to hear the good news?? God is way bigger than the richest business man, the most gruff person, the biggest bully or the poorest- sickest beggar. He love them all the same, and wants them all to know Him intimately. This was the main emphasis from the morning speaker. I believe it hit the teens (and adults) right where they needed it.
As we go forward this week, we are reminded to claim the Power and Authority that Jesus has given us. Also, not to rejoice in this power, or the wonders it can accomplish, but to take joy in the awesome fact that we are God's children and our names are written in Heaven. (Luke 10)
I have to share an awesome moment from this morning. Our (your) students are showing great growth and maturity!
While we were having morning devotions on the oceanside, a young Mexican YWAM staffer came running out to the beach with an urgency, looking for Jason. When he found Jason, Jason immediately called one of the students, and all three ran off the beach without saying a word.
It looked very important - urgent - dangerous.
Without wondering, speculating or gossiping, the teens simply formed a circle, and with hands joined began to pray over the situation. I was so impressed, proud of them and deeply touched.
As it turns out, there actually was no extreme or dangerous matter, or if there was, God took care of the situation before it happened. amen!
Today - Thursday - is the last day with our worship band and our main am/pm speaker. It has been a great time of people pouring out their love, their hearts and God's lessons.
Starting tomorrow WE will begin to pour out everything we have learned up to this point. We will pour out all the love, all of our hearts and all the bible knowledge onto the people of Ensenada.
We have all grown in incredible ways in Jesus, and it is now our opportunity to go out and be Jesus to the hungry Mexican people.
Continue to pray for on ongoing filling of God's Holy Spirit - this is where the rubber hits the road.
For the team - Mark

Hi to the team! But this message is for Wyatt. Yay! Got it to work, finally!! Sry it's been so long before we could communicate. :( When we couldn't get the blog to work - I just resigned myself to the fact that there would be no communication till you were back in the USA. But being in contact with Mark, I realized it was my error the whole time. (I feel quite stupid.) Anyway, we miss you and pray for you every day (actually all day, every day.) Now I feel less cut-off from you. I've been checking the pics every day to see what you are up to. I even searched all 518 pics on the YWAM site, just to catch a glimpse of you. You look like you're having fun. We were a bit concerned when u didn't have your glasses in some pics, but then later u had them on. :) Saw u with a guitar-Hooray! Looks like things are going very well - I pray that you (and the rest of the team) will have a huge impact. What an awesome opportunity. Now that we know what we're doing, we'll blog often - Love you - Say hi to the team!!! Mom
Hey guys! looks like you are having a great time. I know God is going to do great things with all of you down there! We will keep praying, and we are missing you.
Thank you once again Mark for keeping us updated. I miss Brianna so much but I also know that she needs to be there and that the Lord is working within her to keep that beautiful spirit alive inside of her always.
Can't wait to hear what happens when you go out into the city. As always, tell Brianna that I love her and I pray for her daily.
