Mexico Outreach Center

Dear MOC Prayer Warriors,
We have an urgent prayer need at the Center in Parras and are asking you to join us in praying for God to answer the need! See below for details….


“Spring up, O well.”

Prayer is a change agent—a catalyst of dynamic proportions. Prayer really does change things. When God’s people seek His face and pray according to His will, God moves. The Scripture declares, “You have not because you do not act” (James 4:2). Prayer moves God when we pray together in faith.

We have a prayer need on and around the Mexico Outreach Center property in Parras, Mexico. A large commercial tomato farm has moved in above the property farther up toward the base of the mountains. This farm is drawing tremendous amounts of water from the underground aquifer that supplies the wells of the people living in the valley and the MOC property. We have dealt with pump issues for a couple of years, but the water level is very low and the aquifer cannot supply the water needed.

We need a miracle, and our God is a miracle-working God. Therefore, we are asking God to supernaturally supply the aquifer with an excess of water so that those who need it will have what they need. God promised in Isaiah 44:3—“For I will pour out water on the thirsty ground and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessings on your descendants.”

A friend with whom I shared our dilemma shared this story with me. It seems that during the worst of the Civil War a large number of prisoners of war at Andersonville Prison in Georgia were dying due to contaminated water. The contamination was caused by the huge number of dead and decaying bodies leaching into their water supply. A handful of bold men began to cry out to God for fresh water. God answered, and a fresh, uncontaminated well sprung up out of the ground. If you visit that Civil War site today, that water is still springing up!

We are asking you to join us in praying very specifically these words from Numbers 21:17—“Spring up, O well.” God says we are to ask and keep on asking so we might receive. To seek and keep on seeking, so that we might find. And to knock and keep on knocking that the door might be opened.

This water and all water, belongs to God—not to “them” or “us” or “anyone else.” It’s God’s water! And His people need it. Therefore, we need to ask in faith, believing God will give us the water that we need to sustain, grow, and continue the life-changing ministry He has established in Parras. Please join us in this prayer until God answers!

Last week was a good week for discipleship and prayer! The newsletter should be emailed soon with details. Click the email link at the top of this page and ask to receive newsletters.

Please send us an email to be added to the newsletter. You will receive prayer request, praise reports, and details about each trip. Also, please let us know if you want more info about the 2023 trip schedule. We would love to have you partner with us.

I didn’t feel called into foreign missions, so I rejected several invitations. As a favor to a friend, I went on my first trip in July 2021. I thought I was going to make a difference in the community of Parras, but I was changed instead! Other than the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit has never moved in me like it did in Mexico. It’s like a spiritual revival each time I go. The missionaries before me have shared Christ and continue to disciple the current influencers in Parras, but the Lord has called me to start influencing the next generation. Not only the next generation of Parras residents, but also the next generation of missionaries willing to serve. God is asking “who shall I send, who will go for us” I hope you answer saying “here I am, send me”! Isaiah 6:8
P.s.
Here are 3 ways to get involved:
1) PRAY-sign up for the newsletter to stay current on prayer needs
2) PAY- financial support goes toward facility maintenence, missionary scholarships, and ministry needs like food and clothing. We have a full time family living there and ministering daily to the local needs.
3) PLAY- We encourage all ages from 8 to 80 to physically go to Mexico. No skills needed, no Spanish language, just an obedient heart.

Plan to stop by the MOC booth on Saturday!

Come out this Saturday. Free admission to look around. $25 to enter a vehicle into the show. Proceeds from cars and vendor booths benefit Mercy house ministry. I’ll be in the Mexico outreach center booth selling Mexican street corn (Elotes with chili lime sauce), hand made peso jewelry, hand made vanilla ice cream and other products using vanilla imported from Parras. Funds raised in the booth will help send new missionaries to the Mexico Outreach Center. All past and present MOC partners are invited to spend any amount of time in the booth and share your experience with guests. I hope to see you there in two days!
