Missionary Update – Pete & Cathy Dyck
EL MONTE UPDATE, Sunday morning, 12 Feb 2012: Pete and Cathy & family remains safely on the property but El Monte has not yet been restored. 15-20 “comuneros” continue to rotate on and off the land. They are literally at a “Mexican stand-off”, though not a violent or aggressive one. A federal judge is acting on the request for intervention and will rule on the illegality of the invasion, hopefully by the end of February.
Pete Dyck writes, “Isn't our God great and wonderful? I love my Mexico!. I have developed a bit of a friendship with a few men here and have shared some Scripture with them. Two agreed to join me for a Bible study. One dozed off soon, but then another walked by. He made some silly remarks but listened from a short distance away and finally joined us. The napper woke up and started to like what he was hearing. As we ended the first lesson they seemed to like it. Yesterday was their day off but today three of them returned. After shooting the breeze for a bit, I offered to share lesson two. You should have been there! They were so excited and stayed right there with me to the end of the lesson. Later that afternoon I went up to feed the fish. As we sat talking I asked them to spread the word that I had lost my hammer on the road and would give a reward to whoever found it. At first they did not want any reward, but then the “napper” said: “You know what kind of reward I want? Another Bible study!” Hallelujah! Now I would like to do this Bible study with the whole group!” WE STILL COVET YOUR PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION, UNITY, HEALING, PRAYER AND WORSHIP DURING THESE DAYS, AND THAT ALL OF GOD’S PURPOSES WILL PREVAIL. Thank you so much!
