Overcoming obstacles

Last Monday I could hardly wait for the tech guys to come and install our internet. Finally, we would have world-wide access at our finger tips. I could install my Vonage phone and call my family. I could update our blog. I could catch-up on emails. The possibilities were endless!

But then the tech guys came. They saw. And they left.
A two-ton, (seemingly) immovable object parked in front of our house blocked access to the underground cables.
Alas, no internet. No access. No fun.

But what a difference a week makes. The obstacle was moved. The tech guys came back. And now we're ready to roll!

We stepped into ministry a week ago Sunday at a health fair hosted by Teen Challenge (Reto a la Juventud) and led by missionary colleague Sandy Kazim. Sandy put all my medical expertise to work by allowing me to take the height and weight of all the patients :)

Meanwhile, Stuart chatted with a 16 year old resident who has been with Teen Challenge for 6 months. He shared with Stuart his testimony and transformation, and Stuart likewise shared his. 

Here's a taste of the worship service attended by residents and family alike. 

We all face obstacles in our daily life. Obstacles can range from simply annoying (like our internet experience) to life threatening. Some can be moved with great physical effort (like the one in front of our house), yet others need the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome. As you can see, those who have experienced Christ's dramatic freedom from the obstacle of drug and alcohol addiction now know how to worship him in true liberty.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us in Mexico City. Your continued support helps us to partner with ministries like Teen Challenge so that all who seek liberty from life controlling obstacles may find their freedom in Christ.
