We're back!

We arrived back in Queretaro late Tuesday night again tired after more travel but excited to be home and see Sandy's side of the family. Sandy's parents took us out to eat tacos - our favourite Mexican food and they were delicious! We got straight back into things as Phil had an urgent ministry task to do on Wednesday and Sandy lots of support to give in getting groceries and starting to tidy up the house. We have been busy unpacking but we are very excited about the next phase of our ministry here. We visited the uni on Wednesday and saw lots of young people who need to hear about Jesus.

God bless guys, we'll be in touch soon!

Enjoying Australia

Just a quick update to say we are enjoying Australia and having a lot of fun. God is amazing and has given us the opportunity to experience new things, try new foods and see the diversity and richness of His creation. We have also been able to use the time to make good connections and share about what God is doing in Mexico. We are very excited about the next steps in ministry and our Lord is opening up the doors for exhilarating new opportunities. Please keep praying and more news soon!

We are currently on the Gold Coast staying with some of our dear friends and partners in ministry and we have been to visit AMT today. More updates when we have a good internet connection.

Sharing at Canterbury Gardens

Hi all,

We are having a great time here in Australia and seeing and doing lots of things as a family. Today we went to Canterbury Gardens Community Church and Phil was interviewed about our work in Mexico. He shared about our passion for making disciples and the new project we are planning to open a cafe and art gallery space for uni students to connect, express and learn about Jesus.

We have almost 600 photos already, so I will try and find a few highlights to blog over the next little while.

Take care!
Phil, Sandy and Romi

Hi all,

It's late, we're tired and the cases are still open with things popping in and out. We are very excited to be travelling to Australia tomorrow and can't wait to be on our way! Please pray for us as we travel over the next 48 hours and arrive in Melbourne on Tuesday morning at about 8am. We will be flying from Mexico to LA and then to Melbourne. Please pray for our health as we've all been down with a cold and also that God would protect and guide us every step of the journey.

Our desire is to be a blessing to those around us and to bless others in our trip to Australia.

Take care and see you soon!

The Soccer World Cup... a link to the good news

Last week we started sharing some great little booklets that have been produced by a youth ministry here in Mexico with students in the UAQ university. The booklets contain a plan of all the soccer matches during the world cup in South Africa and also the good news of Jesus with a testimony of a famous soccer player.


We have been inviting these students to our weekly outreach Bible study in the university. Please pray that God would prepare the hearts of these young people as we share a message of hope with them and that God would grow our Search group in line with His will.

Hasta luego!!

Hey all... on Sunday night we had the chance to reconnect with a great friend - Nano (Bernardo) who has been studying and volunteering in Chicago. Nano and I shared an apartment last year for about four months and we shared great times in the word of God too. It's been an exciting five months for him also as he just got engaged to a girl from the church he attends in Chicago. We got to meet Ellen who is a great girl, studying to be a doctor and with a vision for serving God.
I don't know if there's something in the coffee, but it seems the guys I have been investing in are all getting married (and all to foreigners!). I assure you that this ISN'T the focus of our discipleship times, but it is a joy to see these guys growing healthy relationships with Christian girls who have a vision to be disciples and make disciples.
So congratulations Nano and Ellen - we continue to pray for you both and God-willing we would love to be at the wedding!
