Ever since the garden of Eden, God´s enemy has strived to destroy “the apple of God´s eye”… Those tactics have continued to this day… The thief came to steal, destroy and kill… and even now, Satan doesn´t want us to know THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE… God says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” Ezekiel 22:30

God wants our eyes set on HIM… As we walk along THE WAY, that we encourage, uplift, exhort others in their walk… as well as: “standing in the gap”, “snatching others out of the fire”, “Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked,” and “deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.” Can you hear the passion? Can you feel it in the pit of your stomach?

When God shows you fruit...

“O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.” “…Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.” Psalm 71:17, 18b

For years we have often prayed over how to get our churches more involved with our families and our families more involved/comfortable with church… it has been one of El Jordan’s desires to connect, be the bridge in this gap, knowing that for our families to grow, we ourselves can not be the only ones to walk alongside of them. The strengths and support from a church family would fill needs (physical, emotional and spiritual) that we alone would never be able to do by ourselves.

Survival - An Update From El Jordán

I´ve known María Eugenia since she was only a couple months old… in her mom´s arms… on the streets… That was about 19 years ago… You might not recognize her name or her nickname… “Mamuka”… but you just MIGHT remember me telling a story about her… a story that 17 years later, still touches my heart…

Back then, social services wasn´t as active and babies and children would grow up beside their parents on the streets… I can close my eyes and see little Mamuka… dirty cheeks… blue corduroy overalls… two years old… living on the back side of a downtown market in Santa Cruz. It was as much home to her as anywhere else...

Today was another milestone for our family… both Keiden and Marlee are in school… third grade and kindergarten… Wow… it’s hard to believe… They are in a school (Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center) run by South American Mission… We appreciate the opportunity they have to go to a school where they have teachers that love God and want to encourage their students towards a growing relationship with Christ…  Pray for the school… that God would protect them and provide all of their needs…  For us, this privilege comes with the challenge of a lot of driving… especially since Marlee only goes half days…

A very quick update on a few people you were praying for:

Little Kevin Marco who was born with a cleft lip has already been to see the doctors from “Operation Smile”!  There is a possibility that he will be operated on in October… but it will most likely be in the following set of operations whenever that is ... Another answer to prayer is that Matilde shows a real love for her precious little one… and a desire to care and provide for him ... Pray for Matilde as she goes with her little baby to “watch cars” (making sure no one steals anything from your car when it is parked) and to wash clothes (for other people ...) ...  She has had some health concerns related to her cesarean…

Little Leyla… is doing well ... She is back home from the hospital again ... and her mom and dad are learning to take care of her health concerns ...
