Hello and blessings from Transform Ministries! Thank you for your prayers and support through the preparations of the ministry tour in Mexico. On September 27th, Lacynda crossed the border into Mexico and we have been running on full throttle since! Each weekend, we have been immersed in evangelistic events, along with children's ministry conferences. Our ministry team here in Mexico has seen great victories for the kingdom of God in the last few weeks. Many children have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior through the evangelistic outreaches that we are holding every Saturday, and many teachers are receiving training in evangelism, discipleship, family ministry, and leadership development. Each conference has been molded to fit the needs of the local church where we minister, and we see that the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of many leaders. So far, we have received good reports from pastors who are now implementing an organized children's ministry in their churches, and who are excited about hosting a three-day conference with Evangelism Explosion for Kids (a.k.a. Hope For Kids) in the near future.
As a united team of Transform Ministries, we have some specific prayer requests that we ask that you keep in your prayers:
-- Lacynda has been battling with her health, manifestations of a strong attack from the enemy against this ministry. Please pray that the Lord surround her with health, strength, and wisdom as the tour continues.
-- Our team has suffered many moments of discouragement and frustration in the preparations of several activities. We are convinced that this is an attach of Satan against the work that we are doing for the kingdom of God. We find refuge and peace and strength in Jesus Christ, but pray that God renews our commitment to one another and that He overwhelms us with peace in midst of the storms. We are convinced of the purpose of this tour and are convinced that as we advance the Kingdom of God for the glory of Jesus Christ, we will continue to face spiritual battles. Pray that we stay focused and keen to the mission which we have begun.
-- Alejandro Mata is representing Evangelism Explosion for Kids in Mexico (Hope for Kids), and has been travelling from Guaymas, his hometown, to each individual conference in northern states of Sonora and Sinaloa, and then returning to attend classes at the university during the week. The bus trips to each city are long, tiring, and costly. Please pray that he remains encouraged in the mission, that he finds renewed strength in the Lord to continue with his studies through the week and pour his best into the conferences that he leads on Saturdays, and that the Lord provides all the finances necessary for these trips.
-- Fabian Mendoza is an evangelist and artist who has been a faithful ministry partner of Transform Ministries in Mexico for the last 5 years, and in the next year, will be making decisions about new areas of ministry and focus. Please pray that God guide his steps and his decisions and he moves further in his own personal ministries and continues to advance the kingdom of Jesus Christ with the news of the Gospel.-- Please pray for the work of pastors Hector Valenzuela and Ana Juana, as they pastor the church of Maranatha Temple in Caborca, Sonora. Pray that their children's ministry teachers be intentional in their presentations of the gospel. Pastor Valenzuela is organizing a regional conference to train all his subordinate pastors and leaders in effective evangelism of children through Hope For Kids. Please pray that he and Alejandro will be able to effectively organize and execute this event in the next spring.-- Sister Olivia is the children's leader for the northwest region of Mexico for the Assemblies of God. She is organizing a spring tour for TransformMinistries, to be carried out in 2014. Please pray that she is able to efficiently coordinate this tour and that God move before her to prepare the hearts of pastors and leaders to receive the discipleship training.-- For the next two weeks, Transform Ministries will be in Guasave, Sinaloa, ministering in two conferences for the churches of the Christian Missionary Alliance. These churches have had previous basic ministry training and are excited to take new and advanced courses. Please pray that God continues to mold and bless the CMA churches as they continue to create disciples for Jesus Christ and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in renewed directions of ministry.-- In two weeks, Lacynda will be travelling to a city outside the capital of Yúcatan, to preach in a children's camp and to direct several regional training conferences for the Church of God of Prophecy throughout Yúcatan, Puebla, Hidalgo, Morelos, and the Federal District of Mexico (Mexico City). Please pray for the sisters who are coordinating these conferences, and for the wisdom and direction of the Holy Spirit to guide and direct Lacynda as she prepares for this second leg of the tour.
Your prayers are invaluable to this ministry. Thank you for your continued support. We know that we are seeing great victories because of the prayer warriors who are lifting us up as we minister. God bless you and yours, and please know that God is doing GREAT things in Mexico, and we expect and wait for even GREATER things to come!
Your servant in Christ,
Lacynda Biggers
