Searching for the beginning

A few months ago, we began our uncovering of God plans for the Los Heroes de Tecamac community.  We wrote a bit about how significant this journey was for us.  And we asked your prayers for our neighbors in this place.  Now that we’ve had the opportunity to get to know the people and listen to their needs, we see that the work is much bigger than we first anticipated.

As much as we’ve wanted to take things step by step, we realize that we’re still running too fast.  That is, with each step we take, several smaller steps are needed.  With each person we’ve met, there is a greater need to spend time with him/her to listen to him/her, teach him/her from the Bible and even walk alongside him/her during these first stages of their new life and relationship to Christ.

So, what we need are your prayers for the new friends that we’ve met and for the new ones who are just getting to know Christ.  Also we want to ask you for your help in prayer for our mission team and our great desire to follow Jesus in this great adventure.  In addition, we’d like to ask for your petitions of prayer in favor of the growth of both, the mission team and our new friends, so that God will give us the understanding and the actions to do all that is possible to follow him together.

Why searching for the beginning?  I believe we have begun well to meet the people of this community, but we are missing the beginning “of the thread” of God so that this becomes a family of God.
