Dec 10 – Jan 4, 2011 (by George)
Well, it has been a great and profitable visit in Mexico. Victor and Elvira are doing well. We were able to get Victor a new phone (011-521-653-530-8810) and helped pay the registration for the tabs for the Honda. He has been able to focus a lot more on their family and is now a pastor with the New Wine church family that is growing rapidly here in Sonora. We know that God will continue to use both of them and we are thankful for his leadership and the pastors and leaders that have been strengthened and the many souls that have come into the kingdom in these last few years. Thankfully, our relationships with many different church families has expanded and we are more available to those in need. We have transitioned the over-sight of the ministry, along with various utilities and finance, to Miguel Tapia. The Lord has spoken to us to not pursue the AR (Religious Association) approval for Harvest Vision in Mexico, but we will instead support Alex and Julie Larios in the establishing of the Pan de Vida church family as an AR. Alex and Julie cleaned and inventoried the worship trailer and we have ordered some drum heads, drumsticks, microphones and a new stabilizer to ensure it is ready and available. We also ordered tambourines for them to use with the youth that attend their church family. I was blessed to be with them when their family visited with them last weekend and to preach to their church family. We had some problems with the prints for the construction of the ministry complex on their property further out of city. Because of the over-all size of the complex and the need for adequate parking to support a church facility, they are revising the plans to include only the feeding ministry, class rooms and a home for the family. Alex is working on the permits and we were able to help pay the back taxes and leases on the property and will help as we can with construction. We are also looking for a possible travel trailer that could be set on the property to provide them a place to live when they come to do services on Wednesday nights and the weekends. Because of Alex's residency, the boys are required to be enrolled and attend school in San Luis, AZ where they have an apartment.
The neighborhood is quickly rallying to fill the void left by Victor and Elvira's move to a different ministry. Miguel will be operating his carpentry business at the garage by the mission home, which will allow him to be present during most of the days. This will help with those that want to use the worship trailer or borrow a vehicle or get a bag of beans and rice. Our neighbors, Rosario and Chindo and their children, will also be available to help. Rosario will head up the sewing ministry and has 5 women coming tomorrow. One of them that Elvira had asked to help is the "teacher" for the sewing and lives across the street and behind the mission home. Her name is Veronica and her husband has brought the property directly behind the mission home to set up a mechanic and transmission shop. Veronica is also friends with Geraldo and Dehlia, our neighbors beside the harvest home, and Dehlia is also helping. They are especially excited about the children's room that is being planned to be built when the Washington team comes in February. This will give the mothers a safe place for their children while they are involved in the sewing ministry. Eliseo, our neighbor on the other side of the harvest home has now been drug-free for 18 months and Miguel is asking him to get involved in the rehab ministry. He is still using the drills and ladder to finish their home and we were blessed to be able to give them some new blankets last week that our friends from Skagit Valley donated. Alva Ruth and the kids are still stopping by, Josefina, Brenda and Estavan are always ready with a smile and Daniel is always ready for Playstation. Isaul, Chindo and Rosario's oldest son, is starting his next term at the university to study engineering and will be staying in the mission home at night.
Thanks to Miguel, the mission home windows now have metal grating over them to add another level of protection for the home. Juan Jamie just finished the over-haul of the white van that we loan out and also use as the main transport for the worship trailer. Him and his family are starting a new church plant and we are excited to stand along with him. Juan Jamie has the reputation for picking up the most kids in the bus for attending the King's Kids program that we helped support in the neighborhood a few years ago. I have personally counted 147 get out of the bus. We have attended the men's federal prison the last 3 Mondays and have been blessed to be here when Pastor Arturo, the pastor of Nuevo Nacimiento church family in the prison, was released. Miguel was at the first church service he attended after his release and where he ministered in a powerful and loving way. Later, that night, Miguel's brother, Jesse, met him at a local grocery where he told Jesse that his "suffering has broken his heart for those that are lost and don't know Jesus Christ." Miguel, Jesse and I attended the service today, where we joined with the leaders to anoint and pray for the new pastor, Pedro and the work that God is going to do through him. We also were able to bring New Testaments, both Spanish and English, and ordered new drum heads and drum sticks for their worship team. After we left the main prison and arrived at the guardhouse, we were met by Arturo and his wife, that had come to thank us for our support while he was in prison. The February team will be bringing more Bibles and tracts for the prison when they come.

December Update (by George Henson)
  Victor spent the entire month praying and fasting for direction and guidance and have been led to be doing other ministry in San Luis. We are working to transition the day to day over-sight of the ministry to Miguel Tapia. We are excited for Victor and Elvira and grateful for the contributions they have made to the ministry in San Luis the last couple of years. Although they weren’t able to stay with the team, they were able to prepare the mission home to receive the team from Washington that visited from December 17-25. We are thankful for our coordinators that helped set up the team and for Angela Fields, who brought her son, Caleb, (Lyman Baptist Church) and provided practical and spiritual over-sight as the team leader. The team included Jake Eldridge from North Cascade Christian Fellowship and Christina Brown from Cascade Christian Church in Sedro Woolley, WA. We were also joined by Tim, Jennifer, Amanda and Kate Marvin that attend the Presbyterian Church in Mukilteo, WA.
  The team brought bags, Spanish Bibles, toys (donated by Newsong), soaps and lotions (donated by Cascade Christian and Bethel Assembly of God), a sewing machine and cloth and regular decks of cards that can be used to learn about the Bible. We are thankful to Shane Henson, Bill Trombetta and Dale Robertson who helped do some repair work on the ministry van before the trip. It was a wonderful week of fellowship and for the first time in 10 years we had rain some of the days. This also provided Tim and Jake the opportunity to use their gifts to repair the leaking roof on the mission home and Alex and Julie’s home. We were able to get the garage and shop cleaned up and hang some partition curtains inside so Miguel can do his carpentry business out of the shop. This is important because it gives him the opportunity to be available during the day time at the ministry complex. Many pastors and friends continue to come by for prayer, fellowship, some food or to borrow tools, the vans or the worship trailer. The team also made a cake and visited Miguel’s family to celebrate Lorena’s birthday. The team visited and brought gifts and food for Josefina and Brenda, Jennifer fixed Brenda’s hair, Tim got them firewood and the team finished the last outside wall and painted their kitchen house. The team also visited and brought gifts, food and firewood for Alva Ruth and her kids. A visit to Candido and Betty’s allowed the boys to do a little concrete work on the foundation of their new home and bring bags of beans and rice for them to distribute in their neighborhood. The team added a little Christmas flair of their own as they put candy canes in the bags of beans and rice. The week also included two visits to a local rehab with Miguel, helping with the Christmas service with Alex and Julie, providing food, Bibles and support for an outreach with the worship trailer ministry on Christmas Eve with Juan Jamie and his family and visiting the future site of the ministry complex that Alex and Julie are building further out in cardboard city. Tim, Jake and George went to the men’s federal prison and the team brought wood that the prison pastor will be using with the other inmates to make picture frames which they sell and then use the profit to purchase tile for the floor of their church building. The team visited and brought food to Maria Elena, wife of Juan Pablo, who will be out of prison in two weeks, put up basketball nets in the local park, bought a few soccer balls, visited Pastor Jose Rivera and his family to pray for his continued recovery from cancer, made bracelets and bought a new controller so Daniel could use the play station. Rosario taught the team to make tamales, provided tortillas and allowed the use of her two youngest children, Vanessa and Juan Ramon, to be “everyone’s children” and Caleb’s “Amigo por siempre – Friend forever”. We also discussed the possibility of Rosario to help coordinate the sewing ministry. An Incredible week of the entire team drawing closer to each other as God’s children.
  George remained in San Luis to help with the transition and will be returning on January 4^th. A team is expecting to come from Washington in mid February to build a children’s playroom and playground on the sewing room and we are helping to get the necessary permits to help Alex and Julie start work on their ministry complex. We are tentatively seeking the possibility of a trailer they could put on the property so they could stay in it when they are on this side of the border and doing ministry in that neighborhood. Please check out the team blogs and photos on the website.

November Update
  The last month the mission team in Mexico has been very blessed to have Jesse Kelley down to partner with them in day to day ministry. He first hand has gotten to see God's miracles happen. He arrived in San Luis not knowing Vicotr or Elvira, but very ready to help. They started off the month with a 5 day outreach using the worship trailer. Each night was at a new location and each night the saw people healed and brought to Jesus. Throughout the month Victor and Jesse spent lots of time with Pastor Padilla who is buiding a new church in San Luis. They helped pour the fondation for the building and Pastor Padilla joined with them to do ministry. They delivered food to families all through San Luis and into Cardboard City and even some ejidos farther out of town. Jesse joined in many local services with numerous pastors and got to see the work Victor and Elvia are doing with DEF and Child Protective Services. Now Jesse has come back to the US annd Victor and Elvira are still busy doing ministry and preparing for the December team to join them in Mexico.
 

Oct 8-17, 2010 Mission team in San Luis, Mx
George and Linda Henson, Armando Lopez, Mike White and Dina Wilkins left Sedro Woolley, WA Friday morning and picked up Lisa Abbott in Seattle before heading south to Mexico. The team had great fellowship and sharing along the way and then stopped in California to pick up another team member, Sarah Johnson. The team arrived in San Luis, Mexico at the mission home at 4pm where they were greeted by Victor & Elivra, the directors of the ministry. The team unloaded the ministry supplies that had been donated by friends in Washington; sewing machines, cloth, bags of marbles, soaps and lotions, stuffed animals, school supplies, tools, etc. A group of local youth were setting up to practice on the worship trailer that is parked in the front of the garage and Armando and Mike were able to help and encourage them. After a brief rest, the team then left to attend a house church that has been started by Pastora Florentina. Recently, most of the family had been delivered from demonic influences and received Jesus and even this night, two of the family members showed up for the first time and were delivered and born again!
Evangelist Eduardo Armenti and his family joined in with the team each day. Eduardo is helping to set up the baseball teams with the equipment that has been donated by friends from Washington and the ministry was able to help him secure his legal driver’s license and make needed repairs to his car.
After devotions on Sunday morning, the team visited the home church, Pan de Vida (Bread of Life), that is pastored by Alex and Julie Larios. The Holy Spirit poured out His anointing through the music, the sharing of the Word and prayers for those that were at the service. Afterwards, the team was joined by neighbors and Alex & Julie and friends at the mission home to celebrate Dina’s 21^st birthday. Afterwards, everyone climbed into the yellow bus and Dina received her “present” by getting to drive the bus out to the property that Alex and Julie will be using to build a feeding ministry and local worship center. We were blessed to hear the vision that God has put in their hearts – to minister to those in this very poor neighborhood and bring them together as His Church – caring and meeting each other’s needs as God has asked us to do. Lisa also confirmed a vision to have small shower buildings in different parts of cardboard city so that people could come and bathe. Please pray and expect to hear and be a part of this aspect of the ministry. In the evening, Victor and Elvira went to pray and visit the baseball ministry, while the remainder of the team went to the home of Miguel and Lorena Tapia. Miguel is the coordinator of the ministry into the federal prison and various drug rehab facilities in the city. We were blessed to have Mickie, their 14 year old son, sing the 4^th song that the Holy Spirit has given him. God’s Word says that He will pour out His Spirit on all people, men and women and that old men will have dreams and young men will have visions. Awesome to witness God’s Word coming to reality.
On Monday morning, Victor, George, Mike and Armando traveled to visit with Miguel and Lorena and then attend the service at the local federal prison. Armando, Mike and George shared a word of encouragement before Miguel delivered the message. The Holy Spirit moved in power throughout the service as everyone was ministered to, individually and corporately. During the time the men were at prison, the women walked down to visit with Brenda and her family. As usual, Brenda, though crippled physically, spiritually ministered to them as they witnessed the “treasure in jars of clay” that Paul talked about in the Bible. Part of the team then went to visit Pastor Joel’s home and meet his 9^th child that had been born the day before. Joel and his children are blessed with the gift of music and serve the Body by making themselves available to different church families and outreaches throughout San Luis and the out-lying parts of the community. Afterwards, Eduardo and his family and Miguel joined with us to attend the service at “Casa de Todos” (Everyone’s Church) with Pastora Florentina and the church family there. It was a blessing to hear Mike and Armando share their testimonies with others and then receive the Word of God. Most of those that attended came forward and received prayer. Prior, to the giving of the Word, Victor was asked to take over-sight of another young man that was in the government’s charge for trying to cross the border illegally. He is one of other young men that Victor and Elvira have been given responsibility for until they can be legally reunited with their families. This 17 year old has traveled over 3,200 miles from his home village to find hope where he saw none. Let us pray that He receives the truth of God’s love as surely as all the other men that have been brought to the mission home for the few weeks or months that they have been exposed to the love of Jesus in a home environment. Afterwards, everyone joined together for a great feast prepared by Florentina and the precious saints that have been called to this neighborhood.
Tuesday, was a day of blessings poured out on everyone in and out of the mission home. The team joined with Elvira to hosts women and their children from throughout the community to the sewing ministry. Amazing work as the Washington women joined with their Mexico sisters to embroidery, sew and make craft bracelets. A project is being put together to expand the physical presence of the ministry by providing a fenced children’s playground in the front and expand the building for more storage and a children’s playroom. Please join us in prayer for the provision needed to make this possible. Armando and Mike, joined with Victor, Eduardo and Rutilio to visit a local pastor and acquire some bread that will be used to feed the less fortunate. The team then bagged the rice and beans we bought and the lotions and soap that were donated by the Sedro Woolley Community Church. The afternoon was a highlight for the entire family as Sarah received Jesus as her Savior. The team joined our Mexico ministry team and took the worship trailer to a property at the outskirts of town and by the canal for an outreach with Florentina’s church family. Pastor Joel Dominguez and his family provided music followed by testimonies and the preaching of the Word to over 100 people that participated. 15-20 accepted Jesus and afterward others were prayed for before bringing all the children forward for annointed prayers of guidance and protection. Afterwards, the team distributed rice, beans, bread, candy, stuffed animals and marble bags.
On Wednesday, the women joined Miguel to minister in the women’s federal prison where they were able to share their testimonies and pray for their new friends in the facility. While the girls were in prison, more beans and rice were bought and bagged to distribute to those in need. During the afternoon visitation and delivering of beans, rice and peaches to the neighbors, the team visited at Candido’s home, where Victor, Mike and Armando were able to help with mixing and pouring concrete for the foundation of their new home. Later in the evening, the team attended the service at a new church mission that is being started further in the city. The Holy Spirit moved in an annointed time of prayer before the team joined with everyone for Mexican menudo and bread after the service.
Thursday was Linda’s 62^nd birthday so the entire family joined in congratulating her. Armando and George traveled to Algodones and purchased anti-biotics that will be taken to Africa in November, while Miguel escorted the women to a service at a local rehab facility. The women were able to share testimonies and pray for the women inside and made friends with Esmerelda, a young 17 year old, that had left the center a month prior but comes back to meet and fellowship with her friends in the rehab. Naturally, Esmerelda and her 2 year old daughter, Hadie, were brought back to the mission home for fellowship and joined us in the evening when we went to the House of Prayer – Fountain of Life Church service. The Holy Spirit moved mightily through the music, the blowing of the shofar and the dancing, even before the sharing of testimonies and the preaching of the Word. Many were touched through healing and deliverance to a fervent time of prayer at the end of the service.
Friday morning, the team had devotions the went to visit Florentina and help clean the “Everyone’s” church building. It was a great morning of sweeping, mopping and sharing God’s love with her and each other. Afterwards, the team enjoyed a great lunch and said their farewell to this charming and dedicated servant of God. In the afternoon, the team visited some of the families that they had ministered to during the week and then drove to some of the fields at the outskirts of town. The main canal that supplies water to the families in outlying cardboard city was dried up, but the team found a watering canal for some of the fields that was pumping water and baptized Lisa, Mike and Sarah. What an awesome and beautiful experience for everyone during our last day in Mexico. Later the team picked up Brenda and her mother and attended and ministered at the Victory Outreach Church service where the Holy Spirit manifested Himself in healings, deliverance, restoration and encouragement. After returning to the mission home, Miguel, Evangelist Eduardo Armenti and his daughter, Wendy, joined with the team as they shared heart-felt thanks and were presented communion by Victor and Elvira before leaving for the USA. The team left at midnight, dropped off Sarah in California and arrived back in Washington early Sunday morning.

Troy Holland, Dina Wilkins, Ira Blackstock, Cody Howell, Destiny Azbil, David Grove, and George Henson formed a mob and drove the 1500 miles to Mexico to minister there, but not without much preparation. Thank you for all that made the trip possible: Dale Robertson for helping prepare the 15 passenger van (graciously borrowed from Clear Lake Community Church) that towed the trailer containing donated tools, toys, clothes, office supplies, baseball equipment, hardware and bathroom supplies. Also, thanks for all who helped with the car washes and getting team members legal for border crossings. Each day had a morning ‘devotion’, along with any given number of visitors in the Harvest Home. Work done included: unloading the trailer, bagging rice and beans, and repairing Brenda’s roof. The team ministered to local churches, helped with two local outreaches, visited rehab centers, ministered at the prison, babysat, played soccer, made clothes in the sewing ministry, visited families, cooked with Elvira, encouraged the troopers doing so much work all the time in San Luis, and went and got baptized in the canal. From San Luis the team picked up the Larios family of five in Arizona and Alex’s Aunt Teresa in California, dropped Teresa off with family in Oregon, and finished the drive to Washington with the Larios family, who will stay and minister in Washington for about two weeks. Even with all the miraculous stuff that really only Jesus gets all the credit for, it’s safe to say that the team was probably more blessed than anything during this trip. Everything from words of encouragement from the Pastors, apostles, prophets, and evangelists there, to even nights where team members shared words, the freedom of spirit and opportunities to hear from the Holy Spirit was either pretty new to most of the team or a fresh reminder of who He really is, and what He is really like. The prayer is that the fresh outpour of His Spirit continues to pour-out and burn within the teams hearts, and that it spread like wildfire to all within each individuals’ spheres of influence. A special prayer and thanks to all who hosted the team in San Luis, and to all who make these trips possible. Let us not limit God nor harden our hearts to His voice today or any day. Today is the day of salvation and any day we stop needing Jesus, at least a little more than the last day, is the day we risk eternity without HIM. 

July 16-19, 2010

George and Bobby Kelley flew to Yuma and were picked up by Katie’s mom, Lynette, and then went to Alex and Julie Larios’ new apartment in San Luis, AZ. They rode with them to the mission home in San Luis and met with Victor, Elvira and the woman and 2 children that are staying at the mission home. While shopping at one of the local grocery stores, Bobby was led to pray for a number of individuals and some received healings. Later in the evening the worship trailer was at a brother’s home in cardboard city and Alex and Julie and their boys led worship and Candido, Bobby and Victor ministered. Eight people were saved and many more were healed, delivered or had relationships restored. On Saturday, they were with the church family in the men’s federal prison for the presenting of the trophies for the 8^th annual sports tournament and crusade. The Holy Spirit moved some to accept Jesus and others to come forward and be ministered to. The church in the prison is now having 16 services every week. Later in the evening, we joined Miguel for sharing in a feeding ministry in cardboard city and a Bible study with one of the leaders in a local rehab. On Sunday morning, we met and prayed for a pastor and some men from two different church families that came to borrow the ministry van and bus for picking up people for their morning worship service and then went and prayed for Candido’s family and ministry in cardboard city and at Brenda’s, a young crippled neighbor, that lives near the mission home. We were able to join Alex, Julie and the boys for the morning church service at their home and then go visit the sight of the new feeding ministry and worship center they are building. In the evening, Bobby was invited to preach and minister at the Victory Outreach Church, where many people were touched by the Holy Spirit and some received physical healings. On Monday morning, Bobby preached at the church service in the men’s federal prison and the men prayed and anointed Bobby for his work as the coordinator for Harvest Vision Ministries Africa.

June 27, 2010

Lately there has been a lot of blessings here. Leaders of the Church El Buen Pastor (Pastor Ruben Lomeli) are practicing worship (music) here at the mission home and the worship trailer is a very effective tool for equipping the saints to go and finish the work. This takes place every Monday and Tuesday. Please have Jose Cobarubias (worship team leader) and his worship team in prayer.  Our plan is to support them and equip and encourage them. Also be praying for the future Sunday services at the mission in the evenings with these awesome servants. We have also been showing the Manny Montez video here in the neighborhood and many of the Diablos, a local gang, have been watching. Meanwhile this effective tool is reaching the youth in gang areas of San Luis, Mexico. The next place is Palmiras housing development, again to reach in the most gang related areas of the city for Jesus to reach the lost. This last Thursday, 24th of June, Pastor Joel Domingues and Harvest Vision went along side JEM missions to have a service at Ejido Cheke #2 where Pastor Joel (Hombre De Galilea-Church) preached and served in worship with his two children, Alan bass player and Kaila drums, and the result was 8 youth gave their lives to our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. Also, our little friend Oscar is know in Puebla, Mexico back home with his mother. Today we are teaming up with a Profetic pentecostal ministry,  Evangelist-Eduardo Armenta, that is going to have the worship trailer on Revolution and 33. We are also taking care of Elizabeth and her two children, Jose Miguel and Dana Paola. Our next step is that she is going to go for an interview so keep her in prayer. Thank you so much for your donations, help and prayers. It helps to reach the lost and to meet the needs of the poor. Attention, your servant, Victor, a slave to Christ.

Mexico Testimony May 2010

  The Lord is working in many ways in San Luis, weather small or big, as long as the Lord Jesus Christ is magnified in all things. As each of us is blessed then we are to pass the blessing along to others. As Christ has loved us we are to love others.

Gabe and Angie Fields felt led of the Holy Spirit to give their Honda to Victor and Elvira Lopez. It was a huge blessing for them to have a good car so they can continue to minister to the people of San Luis. Much of there ministry is city wide and they drive long distances. During that time our good friend Connie Moreno was praying for a vehicle so she could pick up the people in her neighborhood and take them to church. God answered her prayer. The red van that Harvest had was given to Connie as a gift so she can be used of God to bring people to Jesus. What a blessing from heaven that God meets and supplies all of our needs and answers our prayers.

Alex and Julie Larios have also been blessed by God. 7 years ago Alex was deported. Julie and the boys who are U.S citizens came to Mexico to be with Alex. They chose to follow Jesus Christ and serve Him where God had put them but they had faith that all things are possible and applied for his papers so he could go back in the U.S. It is a great miracle of God that Alex has his papers. It is unheard of that someone who has been deported only 7 years ago would get there papers so soon but God was on there side. Now God has opened the door for them to minister in the U.S, California, Washington and every where else God calls them. Today Alex, Julie and I (Elisabeth) drove to El Centro, California where Alex used my car to take his drivers test to get his drivers license. He passed the test and now has his license. It is amazing to see what God is doing. Praise the Lord.

D.I.F is an organization in Mexico that helps troubled youth find short term shelter before taking them to be with there families. D.I.F sent Oscar to live in the Harvest Vision Mission Home 1 month ago. Harvest Vision has been blessed by Oscar who is 16 years old. He is from Puebla (South Mexico).Victor has taken him under his wing and ministered to him. He has gone to church and has heard the gospel and seen the love of Jesus. He accepted Jesus as his savior and has recently been baptized. Now when he goes back to Puebla he will be able to take the message of Jesus Christ and all he learned and experienced back to his tribe. Who knows how many more lives will be touched through this. God has a great plan. So we give God the glory for all he has done and all he will do. For it is the Lords work not ours and He is the one who has done all these wonderful things. God bless you all.

ChehalisValley and drove to San Luis, Mexico. We arrived in Mexico on the evening of the fourth.

Mexico and stayed a few days with us. They went to church with us at Manantial de Vida where George preached and Victor translated. Many hearts were touched by the presence of God. The team visited with many families while in Mexico. They visited Brenda, Moises’s family, Isreal and Karla’s family and with Pastor Jose and his wife Consuelo.

BenitoJuarezPark to do street evangelism. We passed out Bibles and got to share the gospel with many people. 5 people accepted Jesus in the park and we prayed for them and encouraged them. Moises, Angie and I also did door to door evangelism and passed out bibles, toothbrushes, soaps and lotions. We met a lady named Alma and told her the gospel and she accepted Jesus as her Savior.

Tucson to visit our friends at Goshen Ministries. This ministry helps the African Refugees. When we arrived we had dinner at the Goshen House and fellowshipped with Bigimba and Barbara. The next day Linda, Dina and I joined the African women in a bible study where we shared testimonies and sang beautiful songs in Swahili. Later that night we had a meeting with Bigimba to talk about ministry. During the Sunday church service George preached and Bigimba translated. Dina got to sing a song in Swahili and her and David shared there testimonies. Afterward the entire congregation went to the Goshen house and ate a traditional African meal. We spent much time in prayer and worship while at Goshen and we could all feel the presence of God.

Mexico while the team the left. George will be in Mexico until May 25.

We are also caring for a young man from Puebla and a mother that has two toddlers, 1 and 4 years old. The mother is tentatively staying for a short period of time while we work with an apostolic church to get her a new home, pray for her husband to be sober and to get them married. He is at a rehab for now.

As we can see, the fields are ripe for the harvest. That is what our Lord Jesus Christ said and it is a blessing running aside Pastors and Leaders and Ministries that God has given to His workers and that we should value everything that God puts in our hands. Everything is for His glory. Let us not boast about the gifts that we have. Better yet, let us not be blinded in our own knowledge of what we think that we have earned (vanity). Self-righteousness cripples the spirit. For this is what our Lord wants for His true Church. Wash your garments and clean your hearts. Those who have ears, listen to the voice of our Lord. Let us not grow vain, but walk in a humble manner and be a true witness to Christ by being humble. But better, let us rejoice that we all have the greatest gift of all, the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us walk humbly being ever-mindful of the needs of others. Then we will see what drove our Lord to become a man and for Him to be willing to lay down His life for us. THE LORD SAID ONTO ME, TELL MY CHURCH TO TURN AWAY FROM THEIR WAYS AND TO COME TO ME THEIR GOD. FOR I COME SOONER THAN MANY THINK. WASH YOUR ROBES AND CLEAN YOUR HOUSE. PUT OIL IN YOUR LANTERNS FOR THE TIME IS NEAR ....

 April 5-11, 2010

Easter day was nothing less than eventful in San Luis. First we received the news of the teams' accident on the way back to Washington, then at about 4pm there was an earthquake. As we went around to check on our neighbors, God was calling us to do more than visit our friends who were shaken by the 7.2 magnitude quake. Monday Alex and Julie got in contact with DIF a government agency in San Luis to see how we could help. Most people from the surrounding areas of Mexicali had evacuated and came to stay in the park and were being taken care of. But not all chose to leave or had the ability to leave and were still without power or water in the villages. We prayed and joined with a few pastors in San Luis and Katie from Yuma and decided to gather stuff and go out to where most people wouldn't. The truck was packed with donations of food, water, blankets, diapers, and soaps to take to everyone whose homes were destroyed and had decided to camp out in Ejido Durango, the earthquakes epicenter. It was shocking to see everything crumbled and flooded. Even without power, we enjoyed a night of worship and fellowship with them in the camp before unloading all the supplies for them to separate and distribute to other camps in the area. The Larios family, Katie and I returned with more supplies on Wednesday and to offer a ride to anyone who wanted to find shelter in San Luis. An 18 year old boy decided to come and is staying with Alex and Julie trying to find a job. Groups will continue to visit these people and villages with supplies, but they have also offered shelter in San Luis so they can start there lives over. The "Pan De Vida" church has opened it's doors to anyone who is wants to relocate. Please pray for all of our new friends and for everyone who is being affected by the earthquakes that are still occurring daily.

San Luis Mexico March 27-April 3 2010

 Greetings Friends and Family, this is Elisabeth Angell. Linda Henson, Kylee Wilman, Madilyn Delgado, David Grove, and Corbin LaCount drove to San Luis, Mexico and arrived on March 27. It was an awesome week of ministry and many lives came to know Jesus.

While the team was here we visited the church families at Pan de Vida, Manantial de Vida and Centro de Sueños.  

David spent lots of time with Miguel Tapia. They went to the Prison two times to minister to the men and David, Moises and I went to the C.R.E.D.A 1 RehabCenter with Miguel to minister to the men and women.  

Linda, Kylee, Julie Larios and I went to minister to the women in the all women’s RehabCenter. Julie led the women into worship and all the women sang. Linda, Julie and I gave our testimonies and shared the word of God with the women. Julie was our interpreter and a great blessing to us. We prayed for the women and five of them gave there hearts to Jesus Christ.  

David also spent time with Victor and helped him and Omar put a tarp on top of Brenda’s house. When it rains the entire kitchen gets soaked and that is the room that Brenda is always in. A day after the tarp got put on her roof it rained. The tarp was such a blessing to Brenda and her family and now they can stay dry when it rains.  

The team went with Alex and Julie Larios and their boys to the BenitoJuarezPark to do evangelism. We split up into teams and walked around the park passing out Bibles. We got to minister to many people. 3 people accepted Jesus as their savior and 2 people rededicated there lives to the Lord. It was an awesome day of ministry telling people about Jesus Christ.  

Victor set up an outreach for the team in Chula VistaPark. We took lots of games for the kids, cars, bean bags, jump ropes, bowling pins, football and basketballs for the kids to play with. After the games we had all the kids sit down and shared the gospel with them and told them about the love of Jesus. Eight children accepted Jesus into there hearts.  

The sewing room has been busy lately. Kylee, Moises and I worked in the sewing room with Clara and Flor Jaime. They made blankets and pillow cases.  

Corbin, Brandon, Steven and Matthew invited the neighborhood kids over to play soccer in the street. Many kids came and afterward they played video games with Corbin.  

On the last night we made hot dogs and invited many people over to eat and fellowship and listen to the band play music on the worship trailer. It was a great week of ministry in San Luis.  

Saturday I will drive back to Washington with Linda, David and Corbin. I will be there for 1 month. Kylee and Madilyn will stay in San Luis to help with the ministry for one more week and then fly back to Washington. 

 San Luis Mexico March 24, 2010

Greetings Friends and Family, this is Elisabeth Angell from Harvest Vision. Things in San Luis have been busy as usual.

Victor and Elvira have been busy ministering to the children. They have spent lots of time with the neighborhood kids playing video games with them, giving them food and a safe place to hang out, showing them the love of Jesus. They have also been going to an Ejido every Tuesday to teach Sunday school to the children. The Worship Trailer has been used and this last week 30 people were saved and another 300 people saved at a small crusade at the Bosque.

Miguel is busy ministering in the prison where 2 people recently accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. Miguel and his brother Jesse have also been going to a feeding ministry and praying for people and many hearts are being touched by the Holy Spirit. Last time they went to the feeding ministry the presence of God touched an elderly lady and she received deliverance and God set her free. Miguel’s wife Lorena had her baby shower. Lorena’s family and Miguels family came and it was a blessing for her. Miguel and Lorena went to Manantial de Vida Iglesia where Pastora Consuelo, and the other ladies from the church prayed for her and she was powerfully touched by God. The next day Pastora Consuelo and her daughter Karla, and I went to visit Lorena in her home and had a great day of fellowship and ministry with Lorena.

I have been busy in the sewing room. It has been full of women and children. Connie and her family have been using the sewing room. And Connie has been teaching the other women how to use the sewing machines. I have also been working with Alex and Julies boys in the sewing room. We invited about 10 neighbor hood kids to the sewing room and shared the gospel message with them and we watched a movie about how God created the world and the story of Adam and Eve. None of those kids had been to church before and were not saved. They probably heard of the love of Jesus for the first time. After the bible lesson we took the kids in the sewing room and they painted and colored and made necklaces and bracelets. It was a great day of ministry with the kids. My friend Moises and I have been visiting many families in San Luis. We have been praying for them and ministering to them. A group of Missionaries from Montana came to San Luis with ECHO Ministry. The week they were in town Moises and I worked with them. It was a great week of ministry and it was such a blessing to see my good friend John Dodd. We helped ECHO with a health fair, outreach in the park, ministry with the kids, at the women’s rehab center, and at the women’s conference. Moises helped out at the orphanage and got to be the interpreter for the team. We also did door to door evangelism. This was such a beautiful week of ministry and about 30 souls came to salvation this week.  

more lives will come to salvation. God Bless You All!!

 November 2009 San Luis, Mexico

Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Christ, this is Elisabeth Angell. Randy Phillips from Manitoba, Canada heard the call from God to go to Mexico. So he came to San Luis on November 20, and stayed in the Mission Home with Victor, Elvira and I for almost 3 weeks. His main purpose was to look at the empty building on 17^th Street near the Canal. It was supposed to be a free Medical Clinic but the plans fell through and now it is just an empty building. Randy felt in his heart to come and see what he could do to the building in hopes of completing the vision of the free clinic.

While he was here he did many things. Alex, Julie and I took Randy on a tour of San Luis by the canal to see the poor living conditions and we visited a few families that had no water or electricity. Randy, Victor, and I went to many different Churches and Randy got to speak to many Pastors. We went to Manantial de Vida, Fuego y Agua, El Buen Pastor, Man of Galilea, New Jerusalem Mission, Alex and Julies feeding ministry and Victory Outreach. Randy and Victor spent time visiting Pastors in the community and praying for them. They visited with Pastor Ruben Lomeli, Pastor of El Buen Pastor. While there a school teacher came by and told them that 40 children needed school supplies and they didn't have the money to help them. So Randy went out with Pastor Ruben and Randy bought all the supplies the kids needed. What a blessing Randy was to those children. Randy, Victor and Pastor Juan from Vino y Aceite Iglesia did an outreach with the worship trailer and 7 people received Jesus Christ as there Savior. Randy and Victor visited New Jerusalem Mission with Pastora Karmen and Randy gave his testimony to many people who have not heard the Gospel and about 30 people came to the altar and accepted Jesus Christ as there Savior. Randy and Victor also went to 2 Church Unity services where many Pastors and church leaders gathered together for worship and prayer. Randy, Victor and Miguel went to Prison and ministered to the men and the power of God fell and many hearts and lives were touched. Randy has also visited the empty building with Juan Mannuel and started to clean it up and realized it will take a lot of work and finances to get the building going.

On December 1 I drove to Pheonix to pick up 2 other guys, Rob Welch an Evangelist and Zane Hart a youth Pastor from Missouri. They stayed at the Mission Home for 1 day and they went to Pastors Prayer in the morning and then to prison with Miguel and ministered to the men. After Prison they went with Victor to visit some Pastors to share there vision of coming back to San Luis to do a city wide Evangelism crusade. Victor, Elvira, and I took Rob and Zane to many different locations in San Luis that could be places to do a big crusade. We showed them the basket ball gym, the baseball stadium and El Bosque Park. We prayed together to see where God would want them to have the crusade. They are also thinking about bringing a youth group to the Mission Home on a Missions trip and other people on Missions trips. That evening we all headed out with the Worship trailer to Juan Jaime's property in cardboard city. Rob preached a great message and about 8 people received salvation. The morning of December 3 Victor, Elvira, Rob, Zane and I went to a Pastors prayer meeting. There were about 30 Pastors there from San Luis and Rob spoke and shared there vision about doing a city wide crusade. Many Pastors were in agreement and excited about the idea. After that I drove the guys back to the airport.

On December 4^th John West, also from Manitoba, Canada was at the Mission Home. He is friends with Randy and they attend the same church. John stayed in San Luis at the Mission Home for 3 days. He was only planning on staying 1 night and the next day he left and drove to the border. When he got there he said the Holy Spirit stopped him and told him to turn around go back to the Mission Home. So he stayed for 3 days and visited a few churches and spent time in fellowship with people and talked to some Pastors. Monday the 7^th Randy and John left for Canada. We were very blessed to have Randy, John, Rob and Zane stay at the Mission Home. It was a lot of fun and they were a blessing to many people.

While Randy was at the Mission Home, Randy, Moises and I went to Benito Juarez Park to do street evangelism. A young guy about 24 years old came up to us and tried to sell us some gum. We said we had no money but we have Jesus and Jesus loves him and we handed him a gospel tract. As he walked away he read the tract. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to "call him back and have him sit with you". So I called the young man, named Victor, and told him to sit with us. We ministered to him for 2 hours. We read scriptures together and prayed for him and in the end he said "I believe it, I want Jesus". So we led him in the prayer of salvation and he invited Jesus in his heart. It was getting late so we drove him home and got his contact info in hopes of staying in contact with him and connecting him to a church.

I have been spending a lot of time in the sewing room lately with Rosario, Esmerelda and other ladies from the community. Right now they are working on making bags to fill with soap, shampoo and lotion to give out at Christmas time with some evangelism flyers to bless the people of San Luis.

I also made my very first Turkey on Thanksgiving for Centro de Sueños Iglesia. I helped the people at the church clean, and set up tables and chairs. Randy and I went that evening and the church was full, about 60 people came. Pastor Eddie from the Rehab Center preached and many people gave testimonies and sang. Everyone ate a good Thanksgiving meal.

God Bless you all. Elisabeth

Thursday, Angie, Dina and I went to the all women’s rehab center.

We got to pray for the women and encourage them. About 5 women accepted Jesus as there savior. That night, Gabe, Angie, David, Moises and I went to BenitoJuarezPark to do street evangelism. We passed out Bibles and got to share the gospel with many people. 5 people accepted Jesus in the park and we prayed for them and encouraged them. Moises, Angie and I also did door to door evangelism and passed out bibles, toothbrushes, soaps and lotions. We met a lady named Alma and told her the gospel and she accepted Jesus as her Savior.

Friday Gabe and Angie stayed in San Luis and did ministry with Victor and Elvira. They visited a blind lady named Maria and helped her get medical help and helped her find her daughters house. They also gave Connie Moreno a tarp to put on her roof so when it rains her house will not get wet. They went to a crusade in card board city with the worship trailer where a Pastor was prayed for and anointed.

The rest of us went to Tucson to visit our friends at Goshen Ministries. This ministry helps the African Refugees. When we arrived we had dinner at the Goshen House and fellowshipped with Bigimba and Barbara.

The Mission Home has been very busy lately. A lady named Elizabeth and her 2 kids, and a 13 year old boy named Oscar have been living in the mission home. Oscar was sent to the care of Victor by D.I.F. He is from Puebla.

Gabe, Angie, Dina and I went to a house church out in cardboard city. We shared testimonies, worshiped and prayed together. It was an awesome night of the presence of God.

The Lord is working in many ways in San Luis, weather small or big, as long as the Lord Jesus Christ is magnified in all things. As each of us is blessed then we are to pass the blessing along to others. As Christ has loved us we are to love others.

Gabe and Angie Fields felt led of the Holy Spirit to give their Honda to Victor and Elvira Lopez. It was a huge blessing for them to have a good car so they can continue to minister to the people of San Luis. Much of there ministry is city wide and they drive long distances. During that time our good friend Connie Moreno was praying for a vehicle so she could pick up the people in her neighborhood and take them to church. God answered her prayer. The red van that Harvest had was given to Connie as a gift so she can be used of God to bring people to Jesus. What a blessing from heaven that God meets and supplies all of our needs and answers our prayers.

Alex and Julie Larios have also been blessed by God. 7 years ago Alex was deported. Julie and the boys who are U.S citizens came to Mexico to be with Alex. They chose to follow Jesus Christ and serve Him where God had put them but they had faith that all things are possible and applied for his papers so he could go back in the U.S. It is a great miracle of God that Alex has his papers. It is unheard of that someone who has been deported only 7 years ago would get there papers so soon but God was on there side. Now God has opened the door for them to minister in the U.S, California, Washington and every where else God calls them. Today Alex, Julie and I (Elisabeth) drove to El Centro, California where Alex used my car to take his drivers test to get his drivers license. He passed the test and now has his license. It is amazing to see what God is doing. Praise the Lord.

D.I.F is an organization in Mexico that helps troubled youth find short term shelter before taking them to be with there families. D.I.F sent Oscar to live in the Harvest Vision Mission Home 1 month ago. Harvest Vision has been blessed by Oscar who is 16 years old. He is from Puebla (South Mexico).Victor has taken him under his wing and ministered to him. He has gone to church and has heard the gospel and seen the love of Jesus. He accepted Jesus as his savior and has recently been baptized. Now when he goes back to Puebla he will be able to take the message of Jesus Christ and all he learned and experienced back to his tribe. Who knows how many more lives will be touched through this. God has a great plan. So we give God the glory for all he has done and all he will do. For it is the Lords work not ours and He is the one who has done all these wonderful things. God bless you all.       

BenitoJuarezPark to do street evangelism. We passed out Bibles and got to share the gospel with many people. 5 people accepted Jesus in the park and we prayed for them and encouraged them.

June 27, 2010 Puebla and Elizabeth and her 2 kids, Dana and Jose Miguel. They have been with us for 2 months now and have been a blessing sent by God. Both of them have accepted Jesus Christ as there savior and Oscar was baptized and received many deliverances from demonic forces that were tormenting his life. It is amazing to see the work God is doing in there lives and in the lives of Victor, Elvira and I through it. We are also in the process of helping Elizabeth find a job and help her get on her feet so she is able to support her two children. Much time is spent at the Mission Home ministering to them and showing them the ways of Jesus Christ.

Lately there has been a lot of blessings here. Leaders of the Church El Buen Pastor (Pastor Ruben Lomeli) are practicing worship (music) here at the mission home and the worship trailer is a very effective tool for equipping the saints to go and finish the work. This takes place every Monday and Tuesday. Please have Jose Cobarubias (worship team leader) and his worship team in prayer.  Our plan is to support them and equip and encourage them. Also be praying for the future Sunday services at the mission in the evenings with these awesome servants. We have also been showing the Manny Montez video here in the neighborhood and many of the Diablos, a local gang, have been watching. Meanwhile this effective tool is reaching the youth in gang areas of San Luis, Mexico. The next place is Palmiras housing development, again to reach in the most gang related areas of the city for Jesus to reach the lost. This last Thursday, 24th of June, Pastor Joel Domingues and Harvest Vision went along side JEM missions to have a service at Ejido Cheke #2 where Pastor Joel (Hombre De Galilea-Church) preached and served in worship with his two children, Alan bass player and Kaila drums, and the result was 8 youth gave their lives to our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. Also, our little friend Oscar is know in Puebla, Mexico back home with his mother. Today we are teaming up with a Profetic pentecostal ministry,  Evangelist-Eduardo Armenta, that is going to have the worship trailer on Revolution and 33. We are also taking care of Elizabeth and her two children, Jose Miguel and Dana Paola. Our next step is that she is going to go for an interview so keep her in prayer. Thank you so much for your donations, help and prayers. It helps to reach the lost and to meet the needs of the poor. Attention, your servant, Victor, a slave to Christ.

San Luis June, 2010 

Victor, Elvira and I (Elisabeth) have been spending a lot of time at the Mission Home ministering to and helping Oscar, the 16 year old kid from

The Worship Trailer has been used at the Mission Home by two men from Rueben Lomeli’s church. They come about two times a week to practice there music.

The white van and the bus have been lent out to many Pastors and churches lately. They are being lent out so much we are in the process of needing 1 more van down here to meet the needs of the churches. Monte Sion Church is borrowing the van two times a week to bring people to church.

Victor, Elvira, and Oscar have gone to Casa de Oracion for a crusade where many people heard the gospel of Christ. They have also been going to an Ejido to teach Sunday school to the children. Victor, Elvira and Oscar went to El Gulfo and visited with some Pastors from Vino y Aciete church. They invited Victor and Oscar to go fishing with them 186.41 miles out in the sea and they caught 7 fish with a net 1.24 miles long. The Honda Gabe and Angie Fields donated for Victor was taken to San Luis, Arizona to be imported and now we have it back with Mexico plates on it. It has been a huge blessing to Victor and Elvira.

I have visited Manantial de Vida church, Fuego y Agua church and Pan de Vida church. I helped Julie Larios and the ladies from Pan de Vida make tortillas to sell after the church service and then helped them deep clean the church. Connie Moreno, my friend Lupe, Elizabeth, and Pastora Betty from Solo Para ti Hay una Espeanza church went with me to visit the women in the all women’s rehab center. Lupe and Betty lead the women in worship and all of them shared there testimonies and afterward many women came up for prayer. Lupe and her husband came to me and told me they want to start some evangelism in the city. So I was able to give them some bibles and gospel tracts to help them minister to the people. I also helped connect her husband to a men’s rehab center where he can go and minister to the men. Connie, Lupe and I also went to San Luis, Arizona and visited In His Hands Ministry. We visited with them for a while and they greatly blessed us with 6, 90 lb. bags of beans which will be taken to bless some people at the rehab centers and bless some of the local churches. A mission team from California came to San Luis and is staying at Lori and Richard Barcelona’s ministry compound. For 2 days I was able to help the missionaries and Lori Barcelona with the team. We had an outreach at Margarita and Eladio’s church, Jehova Sama Mission. The women on the team taught the Mexican women how to crotchet wash cloths and sew purses and dresses. The men on the team were helping Eladio build there new church building. It was a lot of fun and was a blessing to me to get to know Lori Barcelona and there team.
