When God Throws Wide the Door . . .


We must choose to walk through it. 

Our home Church, Meadows Fellowship in Las Vegas, sponsors missionaries to Mexico, Scott and January Wilson. We made a weekend trip to visit them in the Baja California state of Mexico.  Our purpose was to plan short-term mission trips from our church. We thought we were along for the administration side of it.

Unexpectedly we were presented with an opportunity to conduct an eye vision clinic in Mexico just 6 weeks from then. Our first hesitation was the shortness of time; company scheduled to arrive that same week; and all the logistics involved in planning our schedule and getting a supply of eye glasses.

The very next morning, the daily Bible verse confirmed to our hearts that this was God's will. “We will show mercy  to the poor and not miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others, for these are the true sacrifices that delight God’s heart.”  Hebrews 13:16 (TPT)

So here we go again! Another new country, another new adventure sharing God's love with those whose hearts are hungry and seeking for love and truth.

We return to Mexico April 27 - 30th.  The trip has multiple purposes:  to show Jesus’ love to the people who come to the community outreach – in a practical way through the eye-vision clinic as well as the ministry of the Word by local believers: and to begin training local believers who have a desire to do eye vision clinics in other parts of their Nation.

We covet your prayers especially during these next few weeks as we plan and prepare.  Please agree with us that all the logistical items will fall into place – provision, resources, physical strength. Pray that all the purposes that God has for this Outreach will be fulfilled in Jesus name.

Thank you for sharing this great adventure with us. Blessings - Pat & Gary

PS - it's a beautiful area on the Coast of Mexico, with delicious seafood and tacos!
