Greetings from La Paz!
We wanted to thank you all for praying for us as we searched for a house. If you keep up with us on Facebook or our blog then you already know that great news of God's provision of a rental house literally within the first few days of our arrival. If you want the full story with all the details, check out the post below titled "Why Am I Surprised?" Please, continue to pray for us as we unpack and get more settled in. We are anxious to be done with unpacking and begin to focus more on ministry.
We have already met several times as a team with our new co-workers, Pete and Cher Gatto as well as others who are involved with the ministry here. It has been a blessing to be filled in all that God is already doing through the ranch ministry and making connections in the Marquez de Leon (MDL) neighborhood. Please pray with us that relationships already begun with individuals and families in MDL through the ranch's horse ministry and special outreaches will bear much fruit for the Kingdom. A team from California will be coming next month. They will be working with the health center/clinic in MDL and also hope to share some health related workshops in the school. They also plan to construct 16 much needed bunk beds for the ranch's dormitory. It is a blessing to have teams come to serve the Lord and the community. Please pray for safety and more connections to be made for sharing the Gospel and making disciples. An urgent need at the ranch is the completion of a roof for the bunk house. Please pray with us for the Lord's provision for this special need. If you want to get a better picture of what the Lord is doing through the ranch ministry, check out the website (link below) and read the blog postings by the summer interns. It will excite you what the Lord is doing!
Until we are ready to begin a more formal work in MDL, we will be attending TEAM's church plant here called La Paz de Cristo. They are holding an annual outreach tonight for Mexico's Independence Day. Please pray that the Lord will use this event to bring people closer to him. Please also pray for wisdom as there are many opportunities for ministering but we want to be sensitive to exactly what the Lord has for us and want to keep ourselves free to minister with the ranch and church planting in MDL.
Thank you once again for faithfully praying for us. We felt your prayers as we travelled back down the Baja and as we searched for the house the Lord had for us here. We are blessed to have you as our team.
By His grace,
The Eager family
