The Victorious

I have been praying about a name for the kid's center/daycare that I am starting and last night I was reading the Bible and praying when God reminded me of a vision He gave me back in February. This vision was about the kid's center, but what I saw was a road with obstacles, God was calling me to walk down this road persevere; at the end of the road stood Jesus with a sign that said "VICTORY". I knew that if i decided to walk down this road, God would give me the strength to get pass the obstacles and receive the victory! Last night as i remembered this vision i began to pray and ask God for a verse confirming this. I felt lead to read Psalms 108. The very last first, Psalm 108:13, says:

"With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies."

God showed me that not only walking down this road would I receive victory over the obstacles, but I would be victorious!

I believe that this kid's center should be called "The Victorious - Kid's Center" (El Victorioso - Centro de Niños). I also believe that God has great plans for these children's lives and they will be victorious as well!

Our call of Duty

Something on my mind...

I just watched a movie that brought tears to my eyes and agony to my heart.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a powerful movie about the Holocaust and an 8 year old boy who stands up for what's right.

It made me realize the desperate need there is in the world for the gospel. The amount of people that have yet to hear the glorious life-changing news of salvation.

I was reminded of a verse...

THE HARVEST IS PLENTY BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW!

Where are the workers? Why have we forgotten our call? We, as Christians, have been employed by the greatest employer in all the universe; just think, He sends us around the world and provides for our every need! So what are we doing? In what ways are we fulfilling the job we have committed to doing when we chose to follow Christ?

There are too many people dying in the world without the free gift that we hold in our hands. We've been called to give it away. We've been called to be the voice for those without one. We've been called to take a stand for what's right. We've been called to go against the flow, be on the flip-side of society. Why do we blend in so well? Are we making a difference?

I heard a quote from a book that said: "If Christianity were a crime, would you have enough evidence to convict you?"

Those who've been convicted of crimes have proof and evidence of what they've done; do we, as Christians, have proof and evidence of what we've done, of what we are doing?

WE NEED TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM!!! RESPOND TO THE CALL OF DUTY!

In Need of a Name

I need a name.

No a child has not been born.
No a new kitten, puppy, nor goldfish has been brought home from the pet store.

This is something that was conceived in the heart of God.
I have been thinking and praying about a name for this kid's center/daycare that I am starting.
As you may know, the idea of actually building came from a word from the Lord.

1st Chronicles 17 is the passage that lead me on this journey towards building a facility.

I am yet to have peace about a name for this place, and am open to ideas. I cannot guarantee that your idea will be used in the final choice of a name, but it may help in getting me a step farther!

I encourage you to pray about it and read 1st Chronicles 17, maybe you'll be inspired!

The building continues...

I now know how much money I need to raise for the daycare!!!

$30,000

Please join me as I take this giant step of faith!

This is NOT just a daycare...I want to make that clear. This is a life saving, life changing and family uniting way to change a neighborhood!

God has called each one of us to care for the widows and orphans (James 1:27).
The number of orphans is increasing and many of them are not "true" orphans, while they may have biological parents alive, they have become orphans due to a lack of financial income in the home, therefore leaving their parents with the terrible decision of releasing them into orphanages. This is no decision any mother should have to make, but without a job there seems to be no other answer.

But that's when I come into the picture!!! This daycare is a way to provide free care for children in order that their parent(s) can find work without the guilt of leaving a child home alone for many hours. This is a way of increasing the economical state in my neighborhood, keeping more families together, and showing the love of Jesus in a practical way!

Quick update...

Things are going well here in the states!

My knee recovery has gone amazingly well!!!
God has totally gone above and beyond a normal recovery time!
It's great to see how fast my knee has gotten back into shape, i'm bending it, walking great, and have increasingly flexibility!!!

Thank You Jesus for your love and mercy on my life! Love you!

Ramblings...

Life has been so crazy and nothing like i would have thought it would be...

I am in the US right now as i recover from an unexpected knee surgery, well i guess no one expects those kinds of things to happen, but it was not what i had in mind.

God has been so very gracious to me! His faithfulness continually amazes me, I mean, why would someone, who created everything, galaxy upon galaxy, even think about the little people He put on one of the planets amidst thousands upon millions of stars and planets that come in unimaginable amounts! Really, His love is so great that He gives me breath each day, He gives me a loving family who seeks Him wholeheartedly,He gives me visions, dreams and passions for the lost people of faraway lands, He blesses me with an understanding of a foreign language and the ability to adapt and embrace a culture different than my own. He wisdom to walk by faith and in patience. He teaches me about Himself and His love by showing me the poor who stand on the road in dirty clothes and hold cardboard signs.
He reveals me things like this:
I have been praying, for over a year, about working with the kids in my neighborhood in Mendoza. God has shown me many things and I'm starting a daycare! WOW! I have been praying for a place to build the daycare, but haven't really been at peace until after a conversation with my mom i began praying firmly about building the daycare on the YWAM base, in the very spot that i had spent many days, nights and hours praying for these precious children! Wow God has a way of revealing His plan and purpose!

Anyway, God is faithful, never doubt it! He moves mountains when we choose faith!

I am so excited to see all the things that Gos has in store for me as I walk with Him, holding tightly to His hand, on this journey reaching out to little kids in Argentina.
