Onto Oaxaca, Mexico

What a month here in the NW! I was able to spend a week with my sending church, Sonrise Chapel, and to visit Seattle Bible College as well as spend time with good friends. It was so refreshing and encouraging to meet with people and pray and be prayed for. For the rest of April I was here on San Juan Island with family. My dad is now in full time care at the convalescent center on the island and he needed help getting his things in order. Especially now that my parents are trying to sell the Bed and Breakfast I have had the big task of separating all of my dad's things from the garage and storage units on the property in case they move soon. Note to the wise...don't be a pack rat!...anyways...I have gone through many boxes and we have had a couple of great garage sales!

This Wednesday I am off to Oaxaca, Mexico. My time in Culiacan in February and March was for an outreach to the migrant workers in the area where we distributed gospel recording materials to upwards of 140 different indigenous languages. In Oaxaca I will begin the official training to become a recordist. There are still many languages of the America's that need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ in their own heart language. Here is a little blip of what the training will entail...

The training that Gospel Recordings Network Mexico provides will equip me to investigate the needs among the ethnic groups, make contact with language helpers in the target language, transport myself and the equipment to the tribal area, record Gospel messages and discipleship material in the native language, edit the recording and produce audio CDs or other media as needed. I will also be trained in oral communication, a socio-religious survey, history and geography of the ethnic groups, transcultural communication, design and printing of material for other languages, and use of Adobe Audition software...phew!

Thanks to our Lord, Father, Savior, Counselor! I am in awe that Jesus loves and redeemed a sinner like me and that He uses us for His purpose and plan of reconciliation. Thanks for my prayer peeps and my support team! We are in this together.

Love in Christ,
Tiff

Please Pray:

That Jesus would shine brightly through all of us as vessels for Him.

That I would continue to grow in the Spanish language.

For His open doors of ministry among the people groups of the Americas.

For boldness to preach the good news and that God's Holy Spirit would draw many to Himself.

For my family here. That those who don't, would know Jesus, and those who do would thrive...and that the B&B would sell. : )
