We have been so blessed over the last four years here at
Grace Children’s Home! The Lord
continues to bless and do great things through our children and staff. The ministry is at the beginning of a great
season filled with some awesome teenagers!
With our new directors in place, and our awesome staff, we
have enjoyed a new stability in the ministry of GCH since the Palau’s
resignation. This stability has allowed
us the freedom to really examine ourselves and our primary ministry emphasis
here in Mexico. Through this process, we
believe the Lord has called us into a new phase of ministry. God’s calling for Melissa and I has always
been to teach. GCH has been that outlet
for the last four years; and now we know the Lord is calling us into ministry
in the local church. Our time at GCH has
given us so many insights into ourselves and into the hearts of the
hurting. We are so grateful for the
privilege to have served there. God is
good. We are resigning from YUGO and GCH
near the end of June (the 19th) and will begin as volunteer staff at
Calvary Chapel Rosarito (CCR) a month later.
Santa Cruz Bible Church will be our new sending organization handling
all the financial contributions and administration. Our new jobs will consist of teaching, learning
and doing. We will be teaching classes
at two Bible Colleges (Ensenada and Rosarito), facilitating some Adult
Education classes at the church, learning at a church planting class, and
facilitating outreach trips through CCR.
Please consider coming down and working with us!
We have mixed feelings about our move because we have come
to love the children and staff at the home and the groups that come to visit us
at GCH. We will continue to trust the
Lord to provide for all their needs and ours as we step away. We will still get to see the kids on Sundays,
but it is not the same as living there.
We are so grateful to all of you who have supported us
through your prayers and giving over the last four years, and would ask that
you continue on with us into this new phase of ministry. My next newsletter will contain instructions
on how to switch your gifts over, through Santa Cruz Bible Church. If you would rather continue to support GCH
with your gifts, we understand. Contact
me via phone or email so I can point you in the right direction.
