We are so grateful for your partnership through your financial support, prayer and friendship. We are continually amazed that God would allow us to serve Him to reach His children and their families with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 

We started the month in Rosarito, Mexico by working with SOW Ministries, Sierra Bible Church- Truckee and Calvary Chapel Rosarito to train 8 new churches coming from Ensendada, Rosarito and Tijuana. We finished the month on the Navajo Native American Reservation in Tse Bonito, New Mexico working with Awana Missionaries David Hilderman and Jerry Berheim to host a "4-14 Pastors Conference" (Age 4 through 14 window) and shared with Navajo Pastors how God values children, how children are most open to the gospel from ages 4 through 14 and how children's ministry is a great way to reach children and their families. We will continue to develop this ministry to reach Navajo children with the love of Jesus. 

Along the way, we got to attend and share at Awana outreach events in Reno, visit 5 existing Awana clubs to encourage and thank Awana leaders for their service and even met with a pastor and church leaders at a Chinese Church in Las Vegas who are considering using Awana to reach the Chinese community in Las Vegas.

The training in Rosarito, Mexico was bi-lingual. Here is our training team. Marigrey Francis was our Spanish trainer and Jenny Howard served as our English trainer
5 churches signed up for our training and 8 actually attended from Ensendada to Tijuana. We estimated that 500 new children in Mexico will be hearing the gospel weekly because of this training.

Gametime training at Calvary Chapel Rosarito. Games are what draws kids into club so the gospel can be presented.

After our classroom training, on day two or our training, we invited children in, and our training attendees actually executed a live Awana club. Gametime, Large Group and Small Group Time
