December 2016 Getting Ready! "Getting ready" in the months of November and December around here means "getting ready for cruise ships." We've gone from 5-6 ships per month to 26 ships in November and a planned 45 ships in December! Everyone's getting ready for the major business season of Mahahual. As always, this is both positive and negative: Positive for the financial stability of our families--Negative because of the distraction from spiritual preparation. We will look for any and all opportunities in the coming weeks to remind people of salvation in Jesus' first coming and preparation for his second coming.
Thank you for your continued support of gospel preaching in Costa Maya. God bless your celebration of our Savior's birth! ¡Feliz Navidad! ~ Pastor Valleskey **********************************************
Echoing Thanks "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-6
As we enter the holiday season, we echo that verse for all of you who have helped to support our mission, prayerfully and monetarily. Because of your partnership, the gospel is bearing fruit here in Mahahual and beyond, allowing many to truly understand God's grace. We pray the Lord would touch your heart to share in the riches you have been blessed with throughout this year, knowing that his Word is being shared in truth and love throughout our area. We see His Face in our everyday work here and have never doubted that it is His Will for our church to grow! We had a blessed Thanksgiving and pray you did too. Once again, thank you. *********************************************** Online donations may be made at www.Costamayaministries.org or by check payable to Costa Maya Ministries and mailed c/o Fred Starck,
