We never know where the Lord may lead us, but through an intercontinental rabbit trail involving Coloradans with relatives in Mexico, messages to GAFCON in Africa, then to ACNA in the U.S., to Bishop Tighe in the Diocese of the Southwest, to a clergy retreat in Santa Fe, NM, to a business card left in my purse for 2 weeks before someone reminded me (whew!)– we are grateful to God for completing the connection! He led us to the city of San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Mexico, to worship with a group of ex-pats there. After we made contact, had a Zoom call, and agreed to drive the three hours to San Miguel, the group there assembled the funds to rent a lovely little chapel last Wednesday evening. May is a sweltering hot month, but we were 23 people together, excited at this kickoff of what may be a new Anglican Church in Mexico. It gave us a chance to make new friends, and the privilege to worship the Lord in our native language. Praise be to God! We are returning at the end of May to lead two services, one in English and one in Spanish, as there was much interest within the Mexican community.

Please be in prayer for this small, but dedicated group of Anglicans who are exploring the possibility of forming a congregation for the glory of the Lord and the extension of His kingdom in Mexico.
Last week we also ministered in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, and provided free tacos for Mother’s Day after the service. Tomorrow, May 16, we head out for a two-week driving circuit, visiting churches in the city of Puebla, and in Xalapa, Veracruz. On  the way back we will stop again for the group in San Miguel de Allende. Please pray for our safety as we travel the Mexican highways, and for the churches in Mexico that are forming under the challenges of economy, safety, and uncertainty. Pray also for the local church here in Aguascalientes as it restarts with a new generation of families. We are grateful to be a small part of the work of the Gospel through SAMS, and blessed to read the blogs of others here and realize how great is our God!
