Today was a clear day, and one of the few in which we can see the volcanoes from our side of Mexico City. So I climbed the pedestrian bridge right in front of the Seminary and took this picture with the Pro HDR app on my phone.
It seems to go with the verses that I’ve been reading lately. Psalm 8:1-4
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
What has reminded you of God’s glory lately?
The comment said, “Believe me Dennis that you have achieved it. For me your page is a useful tool. I bless you and encourage you. Keep going your articles, comments, and everything that your page reflects is a blessing. Oh, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this way. May God continue to use you, bro, you know that the reward comes from above. Greetings to you and your team.”
I think what happened sums up what we do in ministry. We do the best we can with what we have. We put in a lot of time and hard work. We look for ways to help others, and we wait to see if God blesses what we are doing.
My prayer for all of our ministry in Latin America is that we can be instruments to help propel others forward in their ministries.
Oaxaca is also a state in which opportunities for youth ministry training have arisen in the last few years. Juan, one of the graduates from the Seminary program in Mexico City, has returned to his home state, fired up his youth ministry at his local church, and has begun training youth workers for local churches starting with a certificate level program in Puerto Escondido.
When I was in Oaxaca at the end of December, Juan told me that there was an opportunity to start another certificate level course in the capital of the state, and we are looking into the possibilities to begin in February.
