Update from January 30th

It's starting to warm up outside - a few days this week is has been in the upper 70's (24-26). It is beautiful weather.

I want to say "Thank you" to everyone who has been praying for me. I am so grateful for your support and believe that your ministry is SO important. We have an enemy who is very real and seeks to destroy us. Please keep standing in the gap. For those of you financially supporting me, Thank you also. You make it possible for me to stay here in Mexico and not worry about finances. You are such a blessing.

We are now into our 3rd week of Spanish after the Christmas break. People are settling into routines again, and it's going well. Two families are new this semester, making the student total to 17!! It will be super cool to see all the tribal teams moving into unreached tribes in about 1.5 years when they all finish Spanish!

I have been invited to a missions conference at my aunt & uncle's church to share what the Lord's doing in Mexico. So, I leave tomorrow, to work my way up there. Please pray for me as I drive. I will spend the weekend with my sister, Elisabeth, worship at TBC in Weatherford, TX and watch the SuperBowl, continuing on to St.Louis on Monday. Then, the following week, after the missions conference, I'll head to NTM's misson training in Camdenton, MO. I'll again get to present what the Lord's doing in Mexico in the different tribes where NTM is present and also present the need for workers for the still unreached tribes.

Besides the trip, would you be in prayer with me for a partner, also? For me to be able to work in a tribe here, I will need another single female to partner with. This is for security and cultural issues, as well as just a good team principle. (Ecc. 4:9-10) Please pray for wisdom and patience. I will be able to meet some of the single students at the training center who are graduating, so please pray for that visit.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in the Weatherford area on Sunday and all of you in the Camdenton area in about two weeks!

Take care & God Bless,
Rachel
