\n \tA New Year’s Greeting!<\/span>\n <\/td>\n\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

How was your Holiday (er, Christmas, just kidding!) season?<\/span><\/p>\n

We got to spend\u00a0 Christmas with\u00a0 our good\u00a0 friends Miguel and Socorro and show them around the Northwest: Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier.\u00a0 Besides that, it was great to encourage them and just be together.\u00a0 Of course it was wonderful to be with\u00a0 family here in Tacoma for the first time in six years.\u00a0 We\u00a0 are so thankful for\u00a0 God\u2019s\u00a0 gift of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year we are looking ahead to going back to Puebla.\u00a0 We have a schedule in place (see below) to visit our remaining churches to report on what we\u2019ve been doing.\u00a0 But we are most excited about sharing what\u00a0 we believe God has for us going forward.\u00a0 We\u2019ve mentioned our desire to work in Pueblo Nuevo<\/em>, the area we lived in, and how we feel it will be necessary to invest for long-term in serving the needs of the community in order to open doors to the gospel there.\u00a0 We are excited about what God could do through us, but also through others who are willing to give themselves to serving Jesus there.\u00a0 This year we want to highlight a few possibilities with the thought that YOU or someone you know could serve alongside us in Pueblo Nuevo<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with the idea of missions trips.\u00a0 One model of missions trips that we\u2019ve been encouraging churches is for the church to make a 5-year commitment to a place (<\/span>Pueblo Nuevo<\/span>, in our case!).\u00a0 The idea would be to send a group down for the next 5 years with the same leaders.\u00a0 Different people within the church could go, but having 2-4 leaders who commit to going each year lends consistency and quality to the project.\u00a0 As your church goes to <\/span>Pueblo Nuevo <\/span>over the years you\u2019ll see friendships open up, a more effective work done, and unique opportunities presented.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because of the investment you\u2019re making as well as the fact that people on-site begin to get to know you\u2014and with that comes trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s obviously more that could be said about the idea, but we invite you to dialogue with us about ideas and questions you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
