Into the Unknown

Hola!

     Earlier today I returned from a ten day trip to visit friends and share about my upcoming mission work in Mexico.  My travels took me to Tennessee, Nebraska, and Ohio.  Along the way I got to see many great sites including the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Creation Museum near Cincinnati.  Each place left an impression on me, but the Gateway Arch was my favorite.  The Arch symbolizes the westward expansion of the United States.  When Lewis and Clark explored the American West in 1803-1806, they did not know what they were going to encounter.  The explorers faced many dangers, including freezing weather, grizzly bears, mountain lions, and disease.  It would have been easy for them to stay behind in comfort, but the Lewis and Clark expedition went forward.  Well, God wants us to go forward into the unknown.  Yes, we will face dangers as we go.  Paul faced imprisonment, shipwrecks, and beatings as he went forward.  He left his life of comfort to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  As we go forward into the unknown, Jesus promises that He will be with us, however (Matthew 28:20).

     Support-raising continues to go well.  As of now, I still need to raise $250 per month for ten months before July 31st.  If God leads you to support my ministry at Puebla Christian School financially, it can be done as a one-time gift or in monthly installments.  Please send your financial gift to CAM International: 8625 La Prada Drive: Dallas, TX  75228 and include "David Keech - #084810" on the memo line.  The check needs to be made out to "CAM International."

     I ask for your prayers as August 17th nears.  Please pray for someone to pick up the lease to my apartment.  That will save me over $500.  Also pray for someone to buy my car.  Pray for those in Puebla who will be impacted through my ministry, especially students at PCS.

     Until next time, have a great week and take care.

     In Christ,
     Dave
