we get what organization can do; when we rely upon education, we get what education can do; when we rely upon eloquence, we get what eloquence can do. And so on. But when we rely upon prayer, we get what God can do." Dr. A.C. Dixon
Since moving to Mexico, we have seen this truth fleshed out in daily life; not only in our own lives, but in the lives of other missionaries that we have come to know. Education and eloquence are blessings and can be used as instruments to bring glory to God... as long as they don't cause us to rely more on ourselves than we do upon God. Far more important is the time spent with the Lord at the beginning of each day, followed up with a humble submission to His leading throughout the day.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35
Our purpose is to serve the people of Mexico and Laredo, TX through education, discipleship, and Christian literature that testifies Jesus Christ as "the way and the truth and the life". John 14:6
