Into the glorious unknown...

I'm very sorry this post is so very belated in coming your way. I will catch you up as quickly and concisely as I can.

- First of all this summer was amazing, incredible and life changing for all who were involved. Let me give you just a couple highlights:

Worship- the worship this summer was in a word deep. This summer worship was taken to a new level, a deeper level of intimacy with our Lord and Savior. Many people encountered the presence of God through private and cooperate worship, and lives were changed futures were revealed and bondage was broken.

Healing- the last clinic we had was incredible, we had something like 15 people healed. Praise the Lord! We also had about 5 people surrender their lives to Christ! Our God is so good. The best part is that the church planting team will be able to follow up with those people and hopefully disciple them.

-I was able to go home in August to see some of you (and re-new my visa) and fellowship/catch up with you all. If I missed you, I'm sorry and would have loved to see you had I more time. I'll see you at some point I'm sure, but would love to hear from you in the meantime (e-mail me at: leahbethjohnson@gmail.com).

- I'm back in Mexico at the GFM base. I am on staff now at GFM helping out with administrative tasks for the organization, discipling current mission training school students and continuing relationship ministry in the community. I will be on staff with GFM in Mexico until April, after which time I'm not sure what will happen, but I do feel that the Lord is calling me back to the United States for a time, however I'm not sure where that will be, for how long, and what that will look like. I would appreciate your prayers as I seek God on what's next, and that I wouldn't be consumed with the future but that I would seek God and live completely in today and what He is doing now. Thanks!

For now that's all that's happening in the life of Leah. I'll try and keep you better informed in the future. Love you all!

Yes as it says summer has begun officially here at GFM. Our first summer team arrived last Saturday with 15 participants. We started with 2 days of orientation for the participants and then we headed to Tepos to do outreach. In Tepos we had health camp in 3 different schools where we teach them about how to stay healthy by washing hands, brushing teeth, etc.. It's a great way to help represent the church in Tepos and show that the church there really does care about the community and to get their name out there. It was a great success the kids really enjoyed the lessons and hangin' out with the "Gringos" and the interns and participants really enjoyed playing with the kids and loving on them. The guys helped our Mexican brothers with their new church building. They are in the process of building a new bigger church and the guys helped pour cement which is a lot of work down here because it is all hand mixed. It sounds like it was a good time of fellowship for them all. Jessica, Lindsay and I were in the kitchen for the outreach, we will be handling kitchen stuff for each outreach this summer so it will be a learning, strike that it already has been a learning experience, but I've come to enjoy it.

We are back in Tlaxiaco we got back yesterday and the participants will be leaving tomorrow morning. Our next group arrives on Monday and we will do it all over again, my life won't be lacking excitement or activity for quite awhile. Well until next time...Lots of love from Mexico.
