It was as if the entire room was energized and it was a
feeling we would experience again during every encounter with the EGM-Mexico
Baja team. They were teaching the Model Children’s Worker (MCW) at a camp
called Agua Viva near Ensenada. Eric, Gabby, Leonora, Joni, Pati and Elva
taught with serious purpose, but also with joy, laughter, creativity and great
warmth. It is always an infectious training, inspiring attendees to see boys
and girls come to live life with Jesus. Their hearts were and are clearly bound
together by God’s heart for the children, but not just for the children in
Baja. Their desire is to be used of God to see children transformed in Christ
in all of Mexico and wherever else God might send them. So, they teach other
children’s workers, write curriculum, strategically plan, train new leaders,
serve in their church ministries to children, communicate God’s heart for
children, PRAY and GO! Recently, Elva shared a story of a man that God was
clearly calling to work with children, but he had not yet recognized that this
was God’s plan for him. He had heard about God’s heart for the children, had
even taken the MCW training, understood it, but thought it wasn't for him. Then
God placed him in an unfamiliar situation; a fair for children, and God kept
having children come to him for help. “My nose is bleeding”, “I fell
down” and he was the one ministering to them. Then he heard the still, small
voice of God’s call and embraced the call to see children transformed in Christ.
This is a very special and unique team. Please pray for them
as they serve the LORD by modeling lives who seek to do God’s will on behalf of
children.
