Support their ministry here!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Concerning the country of M\u00e9xico, probably the most frequent news you are receiving through the media is focused on “the wall”! We won’t go there in this newsletter, for obvious reasons. I would, however, like to tell you about some exciting events in the East M\u00e9xico Conference.<\/p>\n Recently, 67 ministers and key church leaders convened on Emmanuel’s campus for a week of classes (CURSUM). The invited speakers were: Rev. Joaqu\u00edn Quesada, Rev. Melvin Rojas from Costa Rica, and the Director of this in-service training for ministers, Rev. Martin Guerra of Mexicali, Mx. The majority of those who attended this event are graduates of Emmanuel, so aside from the challenging classes, this was a time of recalling their days as students on campus. (Note: Emmanuel only has bed capacity for 40 people, but lots of space in the dormitories, so many slept on mattresses on the floor!)<\/p>\n When Emmanuel\u00a0 celebrated its 50th year, it was as if the Lord said \u201cturn the page\u201d and we began to challenge the District Bishops of this Conference to open an Extension School in their area. Now that Emmanuel has just celebrated its 55th year, we are happy to report that we have eight Extension Schools in six states of M\u00e9xico. In this system, there are classes on Saturdays so that those who work are able to attend. In the majority of these centers, the teachers are ministers who have graduated from Emmanuel. (Note: Pictures speak louder than words, so included are scenes from some of the classes.)<\/p>\n We have an upcoming trip to Tamazunchale in the state of San Luis Potos\u00ed, with a group from Abundant Life in Durant, Oklahoma; this is the 22nd consecutive year that this missions-minded church has visited! This time there will be a great celebration of the dedication of a church which they provided through their offerings. What an inspiration! In that area, construction materials are more costly than in the city of Monterrey due to the challenging delivery into this village, high up in the mountains. God bless their group leader, Roger McCoy; Pastor Chuck Barrineau; and the group of brave young people who joyfully share their Spring Break ministering in M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n Rub\u00e9n would like to thank each of you for your prayers. He is successfully receiving hemodialysis three times a week. We are participating in a new challenge through these trips to the clinic: ministry to other patients and relatives we meet there. With love and much gratitude to you faithful prayer warriors and generous givers to God’s work in M\u00e9xico,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Judith and Rub\u00e9n P\u00e9rez Support their ministry here!

No vamos a entrar all\u00ed en este bolet\u00edn, por razones obvias. Me gustar\u00eda, sin embargo, como para informarle sobre algunos eventos emocionantes en la Conferencia de M\u00e9xico Oriente. Recientemente, 67 ministros y l\u00edderes de la iglesia convocaron en el campus de Emmanuel como una semana de clases (Cursum). Los oradores invitados fueron: Rev. Joaqu\u00edn Quesada, Rev. Melvin Rojas, de Costa Rica, y el director de esta formaci\u00f3n en el empleo para los ministros, Rev. Martin Guerra de Mexicali, Mx. La mayor\u00eda de los que asistieron a este evento son graduados de Emmanuel, por lo que aparte de las clases desafiantes, este fue un tiempo de recordar sus d\u00edas como estudiantes en el campus. (Nota: Emmanuel solamente tiene la capacidad de camas para 40 personas, pero un mont\u00f3n de espacio en los dormitorios, por lo que muchos dorm\u00edan en colchones en el suelo) Cuando Emmanuel cumpli\u00f3 50 a\u00f1os, era como si el Se\u00f1or dijo \"pasar la p\u00e1gina\" y comenzamos a desafiar a los obispos de distrito de esta Conferencia para abrir una Escuela de Extensi\u00f3n en su \u00e1rea. Ahora que Emmanuel acaba de celebrar su 55\u00ba a\u00f1o, estaremos encantados de informar que tenemos ocho escuelas de extensi\u00f3n en seis estados de M\u00e9xico. En este sistema, hay clases los s\u00e1bados para que los que trabajan son capaces de asistir. En la mayor\u00eda de estos centros, los profesores son los ministros que se han graduado de Emmanuel. (Nota: Las im\u00e1genes dicen m\u00e1s que las palabras, por lo que se incluyen escenas de algunas de las clases.) Tenemos un pr\u00f3ximo viaje a Tamazunchale, en el estado de San Luis Potos\u00ed, con un grupo de vida abundante en Durant, Oklahoma; este es el a\u00f1o consecutivo 22 que esta iglesia con mentalidad misionera ha visitado! Esta vez no ser\u00e1 una gran fiesta de la dedicaci\u00f3n de una iglesia que se proporcionan a trav\u00e9s de sus ofertas. Qu\u00e9 inspiraci\u00f3n! En esa zona, los materiales de construcci\u00f3n son m\u00e1s costosos que en la ciudad de Monterrey, debido a la entrega de un reto en este pueblo, en lo alto de las monta\u00f1as. Dios bendiga a su l\u00edder del grupo, Roger McCoy; El pastor Chuck Barrineau; y el grupo de j\u00f3venes valientes que comparten con alegr\u00eda sus vacaciones de primavera ministrando en M\u00e9xico. Rub\u00e9n quiere agradecer a cada uno de ustedes por sus oraciones. \u00c9l est\u00e1 recibiendo con \u00e9xito la hemodi\u00e1lisis tres veces a la semana. Estamos participando en un nuevo desaf\u00edo a trav\u00e9s de estos viajes a la cl\u00ednica: el ministerio de otros pacientes y familiares que nos encontramos all\u00ed. \"A fin de realizar el valor del anclaje necesitamos sentir el estr\u00e9s de la tormenta\" (Corrie Ten Boom). En el mes de febrero esta tormenta apareci\u00f3 de nuevo en la forma de c\u00e1ncer. Pero el ancla de mi vida tom\u00f3 el control y en una semana estaba de vuelta a sus actividades normales.

\n\u201cIn order to realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the stress of the storm\u201d (Corrie Ten Boom). In the month of February this storm appeared again in the form of cancer. But the anchor of my life took control and in one week I was back to normal activities.<\/p>\n
