VENPRONTO MEXICOVolume 1, Issue 7
Intercessory Missionary: Maya Bey
INTERNSHIPS
As mentioned in my last brief update, we recently finished
our second internship of the year and it was a huge
success by the grace of God. A total of 20 people came
ranging between the ages of 13 and 40 and from many
different churches as well as backgrounds of how they
came to know the Lord. Yet despite all of the differences
the Spirit of God united each and everyone that by the
end one would believe that they all came from the same
church. They all came hungry to learn and to hear from
the Lord and though they might have been hesitant in the
beginning as to what they could possibly receive out of
this week-long experience, they each left with a heart
desiring for more of the Lord and to know him more as
their Savior and King, desiring to give themselves over to
a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. One of the most shocking
testimonies was made by a 16 year old boy who had no
desire to come but by the end had received healing in his
heart with a freshness to go hard after the Lord.
In two weeks time we will be hosting our third internship
of the year, but unlike the other two the dynamic will be
quite different since it will be a group of 25 people coming
from the same church in Salamanca, Irapuato, Mexico.
The goal and desire of the House of Prayer remains the
same, that through these few days they will have a deeper
revelation and desperation in their heart to fulfill the first
commandment and this in turn will affect the rest of their
lives and the lives of others. Pray that the Lord will
prepare their hearts to receive the word of God and that
we the staff will also be prepared to pour ourselves out
for the glory of God in our brother and sister’s lives.
FULL-TIME
This past month Betty Beatriz one of the members of th
church, joined the full-time staff in the House of Prayer.She has only been full-time for about 2 weeks but it has
already been a huge blessing to so many. Not only is it
great example to the body of Christ to see one of their
own members giving their lives to the will of God, but
also a huge blessing to the current VENPRONTO team.
As the Lord continues to open and open doors, that
includes much more work and responsibility and at
times it can be a bit stressful when there aren’t enough
people to do the work. So we praise God for the life of
Betty not only for what she can do in terms of work but
for her heart in intercession and prayer to see the glory
of God and his kingdom here on the earth. So these pas
weeks we have also increased in the hours of prayer
times and currently we have over 100 hours a week. Al
the day time hours have been covered and we are now
praying that the Lord will send those who are willing to
dedicate their time and life to the Night watch, praying
in the night from 12 am to 6 am. Pray that the Lord wil
provide financially for Betty to continue to be full-time
and pray that the Lord will provide those who want to
give their lives over to keeping the fire burning at nigh
through prayer and worship.

UPCOMING EVENTS:
This year has been quite busy with the increase in internships, preaching engagements as well as the normal tasks of the
House of Prayer. Currently we are adding another area to the House of Prayer which will be called the Good Samaritan. T
will be an area focused on evangelism and praying for the sick. The Lord has open up a door to the biggest hospital in
Cuernavaca, in which we have access to go and pray for the sick. We are currently building teams that will go to the hospi
once or twice a week to pray for the patients and to preach the gospel. We are praying to see miracles and wonders as th
gospel is shared. Pray that the Lord will continue to prepare the hearts of those that will go and that they will be faithfu
to pray for the patients throughout the week so that the Holy Spirit will go ahead of them before a word is shared.
We are still preparing for the informative meetings that we will have with the whole church to participate in the project o
VIDA (LIFE), praying for the end of abortion in all of Mexico. And we will be having our first prayer siege on the first Saturd
in September. This is a huge project that will be used to unite the body of Christ in Cuernavaca in prayer for the Lord’s
justice. Pray that we will continue to live pure and holy lives so that we will have the authority to pray against somethi
that is so prevalent and dangerous in Mexico, the spirit of death. Pray also that as we seek the Lord’s justice we w ill no
forget the main focus, that He is glorified and that we learn to love him more.
Day to Day Life as a Missionary:
This past June 15, was the 2.5 year mark of my stay here in Mexico. This past month many different changes have occurre
and many different experiences have been shared. Though it does NOT feel like I arrived yesterday still it amazes me that
the Lord has showered his mercy and grace so that I could be allowed to live in a foreign country, become a full-time
missionary in the House of Prayer, make new friends, learn about another part of the body of Christ, overcome some of m
own fears and last but not least be able to continuously speak, teach, pray and sing in a language that is not my own. One
of my best-friends asked me if I had expected to see myself here in Mexico 5 years ago and I can honestly say NO! More
than anything is that over these past 2 and half years I have experienced the surprises that the Lord throws our way as we
desire to seek his face. God never promises that a life in him would be easy but I can honestly say that he greatly exceeds
our expectations in what we desire and hope for in this life. He is the good shepherd that guides us every step of the way
when we allow him to be completely in control of our lives. I believe that this upcoming month and the rest of this year w
be a season to go deeper in seeking after His heart and His kingdom and really learning what it means to surrender over m
own free will in order to completely die to myself and to live for Christ. And I pray that over the next few months I can joi
with Paul in his prayer to the Philippians:
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compare
to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish,
that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which
through faith in Christ —the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his
resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain t
the resurrection from the dead.
Personal Prayer Request:
That the Lord will give me courage to continue to preach in Spanish.
That my Spanish skills will continue to improve and I will become more fluent.
That the Lord will continue to provide financially as I am currently living in a new place which is slightly more
expensive.
That there will be grace to adjust more and more into a culture that is not my own, lying down my life and desires
for the glory of God in the body of Christ in Mexico.
I hope that you enjoyed this update. If you are interested in learning more about this ministry, or if you would like to
