Life Update
November was an excellent month full of growth, excitement, and spiritual development! We had an awesome time with my parents who came the last week of October and got to meet the granddaughter. Maria and I celebrated 31 months of marriage and Mia celebrated 3 months! I also had a good 33rd birthday and surprise party on the 21st. Last Wednesday we had a Thanksgiving dinner with Maria’s parents, her nephew, and another couple. Maria had the opportunity to talk with one of our neighbors and pray for her and the Lord responded quickly to Maria’s prayer.
Maria and I are enjoying being parents and are also being stretched and grown (at times uncomfortably) through the process. We know God has big plans for Mia and we are trying to instill a love for God, His Word, and others in her. God has been challenging us to raise our level of faith to believe and receive all that we are hoping and praying for. We are continually being challenged as leaders, parents, and spouses to lead in a godly, loving way as well as have a deeper longing for intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
Ministry Update
A few weeks ago Maria and I had the opportunity to have a time of ministering to our staff. God did awesome things and refreshed us with His presence! Our 12-week discipleship program Hope for Kids has ended at our Divino Niño site and we proudly graduated 21 kids! We have received about $600 so far towards our Christmas fund. We have our year-end celebrations on the 13th and 21st, and are awaiting a few more donations from the U.S. and Colombia and preparing for those events. Next February we will be receiving a volunteer from the United States who will be with us for three months.
“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well.” - Matthew 6:33
In Christ,
Jonathan, Maria, and Mia
