The Family of God – Erin Schulte
I had asked God to use me – to give me some direction or point me where he needed me to be. Within four months I was on a bus in the middle of Mexico on a missions trip with five others. I knew that it was going to be life changing and that we […]
The Unopened Gift – Tim Rivers
On a Sunday night this past November I had the privilege of attending a church service in the extremely poor community of San Francisco, in the San Quintin Valley, Mexico. I must admit I questioned my judgement in being the only gringo in a Spanish service with no interpreter. Had I not gone to that […]
Journey of Faith – Shawna Melnyk
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 God’s faithfulness – that was the Gracepoint story of our journey to Mexico. Our family had the opportunity to go to San Quintin in July of 2012 with my sister’s church. That week left an impact, and as […]
Arms Held High – Trish Wiens
I recently read Exodus 17:8 -16, a passage I’ve read several times before, but this time God showed me a few things that I should pay closer attention to. In this story, the people of Israel (God’s chosen, set apart people) have just received water out of solid rock in the bare desert, yet they are […]
The Simplicity of Joy – Kelsey Block
Staying in Mexico and helping out at Los Olivos for two months has been the highlight of my year so far. I have participated in so many amazing experiences and God has taught me so much. I feel incredibly blessed and am so thankful for all of my supporters who made it possible for me […]
Alone
I don’t want to be alone… Sometimes I feel like I’m running a race that I cannot win. Or at least a race that never ends. It’s been an amazing year watching God work through One Life, with so many victories, so many answers to prayer, so many stories of hope and life renewed. But […]
Thank You!
I’ve been home for a week. Most amazing summer…ever! God has opened so many doors and changed many lives… Including mine…again! I have no words to explain the depth or level to which relationships are growing with the families, churches, and community around the base – including the teams from Canada that have served with us. So […]
More
Today, I was driving down California’s Interstate 5 when a very ordinary family car passed me. I was in the slow lane and on my left was a small 4 door hatchback with a towel across the passenger seat, shielding a young child in a car seat. Nothing unusual…but in the drivers seat was a young mother […]
In You
In the last few weeks the property west of Los Olivos was purchased. It almost tripled the “foot-print” of the current base and brought to fruition years of prayer. It took almost a year to complete the purchase, but PTL (Praise the Lord)…the land is His today!! As a plan to protect, this property will […]
God Has Been Good
It has been a busy season at Los Olivos as the heat rises and summer draws closer! We can see God at work in Mexico – pastors coming together, husbands and wives growing closer, children being loved and accepted – and this is still just the beginning. Over the past few weeks, we have had […]
