December 2025

Blessings in the name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Every month I go to Ensenada, Mexico for a few days of ministry. It is a blessed time full of fruitfulness. Here are some highlights of my December 2025 trip.

The marriage group at El Sembredor Iglesia was on the topic of being a good listener in your marriage. It is important to avoid these 5 ways of not listening well. Disengaging, by thinking about what you want to say. Reassuring, which can minimize the importance of what is being said. Giving advice, instead of hearing all that your spouse is saying. Not staying on topic because there are other topics you have in mind. Interrupting, which keeps your spouse from wanting to talk. Instead   (like being preoccupied or unfocused or not staying on the topic) and 5 ways to be better listeners. Put yourself in their shoes. Repeat back to them what they have said. Make sure you know what is important. Work together on a solution. Ask if there is anything more.

The big reason that I went this month was for the Children’s Christmas Gift ministry. I was able to give Pastor Ricardo money to buy gifts for 90 kids! This is a fun way to remind them that Jesus is the best gift we can receive. I am grateful to all who donated to this wonderful event. Along with this I preached at Poder y Victoria Iglesia about Jesus being the perfect gift for us.

As I reflect on 2025 I am humbled by the wonderful opportunities God has given me to touch many lives. I am well received there and I believe the ministry is helping the kingdom of God to grow. I am thankful for and humbled by all the prayer and financial support that allows me to do this each month.
