GRACIAS!!!

Henry Nouwen wrote a book entitled by this Spanish word for "Thanks" as a reflection of his spiritual journey to South America. Thanks to God and His community by whom we're given the opportunity of Christian service and, in so doing, the priviledge to mature in God. I'd borrow the very word here to express our gratitude to you all who have been, for the last 6 years, our faithful ministry partners for the benefit of the Ch'ols of Chiapas. Some have given us warm care in Christ which I'd say that now we are debtors in deth to Christ. We are especially grateful to every and all church's committed partnership to accomplish the great commission onto Mexico. Yeah, without each one of your mission interest and involvement we'd be unable to build up a kingdom of God in this country.

God is our King and we His people. Our lifelong task, therefore, is to make Him known His Kingship all over the world. Thus, we ought to put (outreach the unreached & preach the Gospel) the world under His leadership. It is world missions. He must be known as the One and Only King to all mankind. It is our way of glorifying God.

Thanks. Blessings to you all.

2006 March

March has come. Nahum was so happy as he flip over wallcalendar for his birthday approach near. We've made numerous church visits since the dawn of new year. We had great fellowship and it was pleasant opportunity to minister each other and come to term to work together for God's Kingdom.

PRAISE & PRAYER
1. God has granted us good time with our supporting churches and individuals: great fellowship and great potlucks. Though our nanana had to skip school, they enjoyed, regardless, building new friendship and, not to mention, playing on snow.

2. Elaine's brother Keith had a surgery on his right eye, and his doctor is pleased with its result. Unfortunately he couldn't get rid of double vision. However, he is able to see better and drive by himself. Thanks all for your prayers.

3. We are scheduled to visit churches in AZ and nearby LA counties. May we be a divine tool to call churches for more missions involvement.

4. Palenque churches (ALPREPA) seemed doing well and their ministry growing up day by day. However, Efren and Melina appear to difficult on cultural adjustment to Chiapas and its people. God blessed them with a babygirl Sara, first child. May the Spirit of God comfort them with this addition and encourage them to step forward in their ministry in Chiapas.

5. Please continue to pray for Reformed Bible Institute of Chiapas (Chol). For its leadership and new students. Pastor Jose (director), pastor Cristobal (teacher), pastor Francisco (advisor), and elder Cesario (teacher).

6. All Nations Church (CA) has prayed and is about to train 10 short-term workgroups to Mexico for 2006. It will be sometime in July covering from Tijuana to Merida to Michoacan. Abraham will provide them some tips to maximize their effort for outreach program.

7. Nanana is doing great and growing so fast. They are in their last school period, already. Their teachers have begun to mention that they will miss our children in next schoolyear. Pray that our children will gradually understand in depth the nature of having missionary parents and becoming MKs themselves. Also pray that they will find a suitable school (if not a perfect) in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Blessings on your knees. the Lees.
