Our July Prayer letter....

July 2010

What God is doing in our lives…

Dear Friends & Family,

Last month our family marked 6 years since we moved to Tijuana, Mexico following God’s calling for us to come and serve at Grace Childrens' Home. Six years may not seem like a lot of time, but when we reflect on all the Lord has done during this time, it often seems longer. It feels like we’ve built a lifetime of memories in these few years; but mostly, it has been amazing to see God’s hand at work.

When we moved here, George, our eldest had just completed kindergarten in the States. He is now 12 years old and has just graduated from the the 6th grade, which marks the end of elementary school here.. Eric, our middle son, was 5 and still very much a little boy. He is now 11 and has a heart for the Lord. Our youngest, Marcus, was 8 months old. He doesn’t know what life is like living outside of Grace Children’s Home or even outside of Mexico. It’s interesting to ponder how different their lives are because God brought us here.

In June, we celebrated Father’s Day. In the schools, I was able to celebrate a fun-filled morning with my boys as well as many of my children at GCH. It’s in moments like these that I realize what a privilege for us to be here.

On father’s day Sunday, we received another amazing blessing. Our church, Capilla Calvario Rosarito (Calvary Chapel Rosarito), held church on the beach. During the event, one of our eldest girls, Erika, accepted the invitation to be baptized. We remember when Erika came to GCH last July, and also when she prayed with us both to receive the Lord last October. And on this father’s day, I was able to baptize her in the pacific ocean!

What a joy it is to watch the spiritual journey of the children the Lord brings to us, including our 3 boys! We know God has so much more in store for us… but for now, we’re counting our blessings and enjoying what He has given us today.

Thank you to all of you who pray and support us in this incredible journey. We can’t imagine life any other way!!

Gratefully,

George & Stacey Palau
