In the Battle

I truly believe God has some radical things in store for this country in the coming years. And I love Jesus and expanding His reign here. That's probably what really disgusts Satan. So it would make sense that I haven't slept through the night once since I returned to Mexico City three weeks ago. Thankfully my body feels rested, but I continually experience strange dreams and wake up at odd hours.

Almost everyday (no joke) we have some amazing experience. This morning David Bedolla (our Mexico National Director), Craig and I connected with Benjamín Rivera, a pastor who has walked the long dusty roads of Mexico City (figuratively speaking) for over 20 years to bring Jesus to thousands of his countrymen. This guy is really amazing. He explained what he sees God doing right now and how we can play a role in that. We just gained another incredibly valuable ministry partner and friend.

You can bet Satan spits when he sees Jesus' followers truly start living and acting like the body of Christ. I think he's losing a little sleep himself.

I'll be praying that you'll be able to sleep through the nights, Joe. I've had that problem myself, and I know how un-fun it is. It's exciting hearing how much Jesus is moving in Mexico!!

Hey...I love this. You're a huge blessing to those of us in the states who WISH we could be there!! I'll be praying alongside Amy for your sleep and your entire ministry. You're a blessing.
