Our Time in Puerto Peñasco 
We had a really busy, but very productive trip to Puerto Penasco, México.  We arrived on Friday afternoon and began meetings with the leaders two hours later.  That first weekend, we spent about 13 hours in meetings with the leaders and Leon also preached the Sunday morning service.  The time with the leaders was excellent as we all developed a deeper relationship with one another while looking at the kind of leadership character the Lord wants to develop in His leaders. 

On Monday, Pastor Stan and Becky Tedrow and Pastors Joe and Laurie Pacheco all arrived and we met with the pastors, elders, ministry leaders and congregation throughout the week.  The conference, Prospering in a New Season, was Wednesday through Saturday evenings concluding with the Sunday morning service.  It was very well received by all.  We are so blessed to see the growth and health in the congregation after the difficulties they went through just two years ago.  

On a personal note, it was such a blessing working together with the Tedrows and Pachecos, whom we have known for about 40 years and about 30 years respectively.  The six of us form the pastoral counsel over PCF to assist and encourage the leadership team there.

,Cynthia is coming! 
We are looking forward to Cynthia Alexander from Chennai, India being with us for a week in July and sharing at Living Waters Fellowship.  We have been working with her family since 1988!  This is Cynthia's first trip to the U.S.  Anyone interested in helping with her travel expenses can donate on our donations page on this website under Alex and Hilda's name and note that it is for Cynthia.

Prayer Requests
As we mentioned in our last update, Leon is at a place that he will be making some rather major decisions concerning treatment in these next few weeks.  There are several options, most of which right now will be integrative or natural medicine treatments, which translates into out of pocket expense.  Please pray for wisdom for him to choose the very best option and for the Lord to anoint it to bring the maximum results.
