Ocean Breeze and Mariachi Band

The ocean breeze and sounds of a mariachi band drifting through my window are a few of the sensory things that I usually experience on a normal day in Tijuana, Mexico. I live an extremely blessed life. As I revel in my  peaceful surroundings, I'm also searching for answers to questions that I and others have about the bible. Sometimes I get worried that I won't ever be able to amply explain and teach others the exciting things I have found in studying the bible. But as I keep studying and plugging away at it, I realize that if I am searching out truth and truly being humble about what I find, God will work through me whether I can't create a great power point or if I can't eloquently communicate my work. Gods word will not return void. (Isaiah 55:11)


My days have recently been filled with classes on the inductive method with the book of Genesis and personal study on the book of Exodus. I'm preparing a teaching on the Plagues, the Passover and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart (Exodus 5-13). The subjects are packed with so much meaning and are pivotal in the history of the Hebrews. I'm excited to study them and then be able to share them with the CSBS class.
I feel extremely blessed this week with the prayer and support that has been coming in. I can't thank everyone enough for their encouragement and willingness to make it possible for me to teach the bible here in Mexico.

Weekly Prayer Requests....

  • Wisdom on how to present my teaching/ confidence and understanding for any questions the students might have. 
  • Peace 


Thank you for reading!
