A First Step...

No, I am not referring to Chase taking his first steps...although he is getting very close to crawling! I am actually talking about what happened last night in our work here. Benjy and I, along with Stephen (one of our AIM student - apprentice missionaries) witnessed a "first step" and very important step in the growth of our ministry here in Mexico City. We were invited into the home of Luis Espinoza, our most recent brother in Christ, to share in a Bible discussion with his mom and uncle. The exciting thing is that Luis lead the discussion - which has great implications for the direction we want our work to go. It is impressive for a number of reasons: firstly, our prayer is that last night might serve as an open door for a new group of believers and we are convinced that it is really important that it began from the first time to be lead by a Mexcian Christian. It will save us the often difficult transition from missionary-lead leadership to Mexican leadership. It is also exciting because Luis is full of faith and excitement in his new journey with Christ and we do not consider it a small thing that he is sharing his faith with his own family in such a direct way. Please pray for the journey that we believe God is beginning with this family.
