Serving With Joy In Piedras Negras

Greetings in Jesus' name from Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. There have been some changes in my life recently, including a move to the big city near the border.

I am living in a little house about 15 minutes from a border crossing, and it has opened my eyes to the urgent need for more of a witness in this border town.

'The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.' We need to pray for more workers for the harvest, as it is true all over the world. As believers, we are supposed to be light and salt, always ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us.

I pray the Lord uses our lives in a way that brings Him glory.

Thank you for praying for the ministry, the people and especially for the Agua Viva Rehabilitation Center. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

By His grace,
Toni

This is the local jail in Piedras where we share the gospel with the detainees.
Most are only held 24-72 hours. The first time we went, there were over 80 men and women. 
We served sandwiches and juice to each of them, as well as the Word.

Every time I see this wagon, it gives me delight. In this fast-paced world,
seeing this rig makes me remember how things used to be,
the slower pace of the world. I desire to take time to listen
and really hear people's hearts, and be a light in the darkness here in the big city.

I enjoy helping Sister Veronica when it's her turn to transport them.
