Created to worship

Forty Days of Purpose continued at Reto a la Juventud (Teen Challenge Mexico) as co-director Alejandra Martínez preached this week on what it means to truly love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Each week the teaching is recorded and later aired on a local cable channel. What an opportunity to spread the message of hope and purpose to a wide audience! 

So remember, as we learned this week, we don't need to pretend with God (no necesitamos fingir). He simply wants you to be you (quiere que seas como eres). So just take your everyday life - your rest, your meals, your work, and your comings and goings - and give it all as an offering to God* (Toma tu vida cotidiana, la vida de todos los días - tu descanso, tu comidas, tu trabajo, y tus idas y venidas - y ponlas como una ofrenda ante Dios).

Please continue to pray for Alejandra and Gamaliel as they present this teaching week after week through October and disciple the residents of Teen Challenge day by day.

Thank you for your prayers, we have secured a new language tutor! He arrives twice a week for two hours at a time and already we feel the linguistic juices flowing more freely :)

Created for Purpose

Yesterday at Teen Challenge Mexico (Reto a la Juventud), Director Gamaliel Cerda began a new series, 40 Días con Propósito (40 Days of Purpose). Everyone received a bookmark that outlined the teaching points for the next few weeks and a workbook to follow along.

You may not know this, but Sunday services are are not just for Teen Challenge residents and visiting families, they also include individuals from the surrounding community. In fact, I've noticed a couple of familiar faces these last few weeks from those who participated in the health clinic last month. However, this particular series will also serve a wider audience as it is being filmed to show every Thursday on a local cable channel.

Please take a moment to pray right now for Directors Gamaliel and Alejandra and their staff at Teen Challenge. Pray for a clear presentation of the teaching, a receptive audience, and that people will find their purpose in life by finding the God who created them for a purpose.
