Hola Todos!
This week has been amazing! We have found a leader on the biggest campus here in Cuernavaca who wants to start a movement of Enfoque Mexico, the Campus Crusades mission here in Mexico, on his campus. He has a group of Christians friends who he thinks are interested in joining him. It is exactly what our group has been praying for, and God has been faithful and provided. Now we have the opportunity to pour into him, Mac, and his friends and help them start their movement. It is quite exciting and an awesome opportunity.
God has been faithful in ways we haven't even asked for as well. On our first day at campus we also found some guys who are training to become professional soccer players here in Mexico. Wednesday we had the opportunity to spend time with them by hiking up a mountain and going to see some pyramids. We had some great talks with them during the climb and at the top. I was able to give them some food for thought on how they could help change Mexico for the better with the influence they will have. Oh! I forgot to mention that 3 out of the 7 are strong Christians that we have been intentionally pouring into. Yesterday we had the chance to actually scrimage with them and I got to go through some of their drills. Their skill level is amazing. It was fun to watch them practice, and shooting around with them was well - undescribable. One fo the guys just started doing bicycle kicks as another was crossing the ball from the corner. Their precision with the ball made me sick, yet excited for the fact that we are getting the chance to challenge these guys that are Christians to step out in their faith - even as professional athletes. The coach is taking to us well too. Obviously since he let us participate in practice and drills with them yesterday. He wants to take us to some other pyramids on Sunday, and I'm hoping to get the opportunity to talk to him and get him to be a Christian influence on his players. A conversation like that could have a huge impact on professional soccer here. Please pray for that conversation. Again, God is amazing and is giving us more opportunities to impact Cuernavaca and Morelos, the state Cuernavaca is located, than I ever thought imaginable. Praise be to God!
I had to share the good news from Cuernavaca! Next week we plan on moving on to try and find some people who are interested in starting a movement on the second biggest campus here in Cuernavaca; while pouring into the people we've already met so far. Thank you for your prayers, they are working!
Regardos,

Caballero,
All this is just too amazing. It's not like it just started, but things are happening EVERYWHERE - Russia, Mexico, Canada. It's just awesome to be caught up in the mix of it all. Thanks for sharing your stories, and keep up the work for our Great Commander and Lord. Can't wait to hang out after our Projects are done, brother.

Hola,
I will be attending the Universidad Internacional in Cuernavaca this summer. Is there a christian bible study or Campus crusade for Christ there?
Gracias,
Blyth
Hola Blyth,
We did visit the Universidad Internacional while in Cuernavaca. Unfortunately, the atmosphere wasn't right for us to walk on as non-students and try and start a ministry or a Bible study of some sort on the campus. When you get there you will see that the campus is up and down a street in Cuernavaca in small little sections. However, I encourage you to start something with your classmates. We found lots of success just talking to the locals about faith and I'm sure with a little searching and guidance from the Holy Spirit you will be able to find what you are looking for. E-mail me if you have any more questions or want to know more about the Cuernavaca: jawing4UK@uky.edu. Good luck with your studies!
