TECATE Day 4, Morning.

Everyone is in good spirits are we get ready for our third day of being with our families, working on the house, and our second day of VBS. We had a great evening session again last night where we shared God sightings, worship and reflected on God’s word together.

Last night in the session we thought about what it means to be God’s name bearers.


Mistaken identity is a big problem and can really get you in trouble... In the same way, many people who are looking for God, mistakenly think that all people who call themselves Christian’s are acting on HIS behalf. They bear HIS name
(“CHRISTian”...) so they must be acting in the way that he wants them too... like the pop-star who thanks Jesus for giving his album, full of songs about sex, murder, drugs and gangs, a grammy, many Christians need to think about whether it really is God who they are serving with their lives... The way they live is really given people of case of mistaken identity about God..

As we talked about this, we reflected on how awesome it is that God trusts us so much. He trusts us to be the ones who will make his reputation for him in the eyes of the world. People will discover who God is by what we do.

In Mexico building houses the application of this truth is easy... we are helping people here see that God is their provider and that he cares for them and all of their problems...

It is much harder to do at home... but even more important.

We talked a lot about how all of life is a mission trip, where God has sent us into the world to show people who he is by how we live.

AMAZING how much faith he has in us.

Please pray that we would bear his name well today!

COLOSSIANS 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
