October Recap

Good morning Pastor Pancho, and our family in Christ,

We left of with CCM (Oct 17-19th) as they left back home we received on the 19th CC Grass Valley.  An adult  w/ family group with 14 in all.  This group brought down dental equipment to install in one of our children ministry room.  A brother from their church had a dentist office and so he donated all the equipment to LP so that when Dentist doctors come down, they have the right equipment to work with.  So we were blessed to have them install this equipment which also included the compressor, dentistry vacum, cabinets with sink. This took them around 4 days to install everything.  They worked hard.

CCGass Valley also did an outreach here close to LP, at a local basketball court.  We had games for the children, balloons, face painting, puppet show, worship, and one brother fixed the swings for that court so the children were really happy that they were able to use the swings again.

The group also went to visit an orpahange in La Gloria where the group played different games, loved on them, fed them, did a bible study, worship with them and even cut their hair!

CC Grass Valley left on Friday the 24th and we got ready for the big event (Womens retreat) with C. C Moreno Valley.  As every year we are blessed to have this group come down and do their womens retreat in Spanish for the ladies in Mexico which included Rosarito, San Vicente etc.  This year we had a smaller group of around 70-80 ladies. Some slept here at LP and we took a bus full to sleep at the womens shelter.

 This year's theme was in Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God".  

All of us ladies were not only blessed with the delicious food that was served, the fellowship with the ladies, but most importantly, the word of God, giving all of us ladies a reminder that God  our refuge and strength and we just need to be still and know that and the theme was such a perfect timing especially in the difficult time that we are doing through in Mexico and we needed to be strengthened and reminded of this. There was also a time of prayer and counseling as well as crafts for the ladies. The ladies left in such a different spirit as when they all came down.  More encouraged and strengthen and in love with Jesus. What a blessing.

After CC Moreno Valley we had CC Childrens Ministry come over for a one day turn around trip.  Now as you all know Victor and I were not here, but we did hear that their trip was a blessing. They went to visit the children at the orphanage Tribe of Jesus.  They fed them, played games and baseball with them, did a puppet show,  crafts, worship and a bible study.  They stood here from 11:00 - 5:00pm an all day visit with the children.

After the group went to go eat tacos and they returned back home to CCM.

God bless you all!
