Update on the Earthquake & the Violence
Many of you have called or emailed us regarding the earthquake that hit Mexicali and shook surrounding areas, including Tijuana. Thank you for your concern and prayers! We are grateful to say that GCH, our children and our homes are all safe and sound. It appears everything is fine, thanks to God.
Ironically, the earthquake hit 10 minutes before a big outreach event we had planned at GCH. We had a meal prepared, games planned, and the message of Jesus' death and resurrection was going to be shared. We wondered if the earthquake would scare people from coming... but it didn't!
Over 50 adults, plus all their children packed our play areas. They ate, played, and 11 adults received Jesus for the first time!
Others of you have asked about our safety or the safety of teams coming to serve at GCH, in response to the reports in the media. Thank you for your prayers!
While violence does exist in our city (as it does in most major cities), we are grateful to say that not one of our GCH family members or any team member that has come to serve here has ever been hurt by this violence. We clearly sense God's hand of protection over GCH and those that come here.
We know the enemy would like to use earthquakes and violence to scare or discourage us. We also know these are signs of the end times and Jesus is coming back soon. Knowing these things spurs us on all the more to keep serving and sharing about Jesus.
Thank you to all of you who partner with and pray for GCH! We appreciate your care, concerns, emails, phone calls, & especially your prayers.
