Friends in our ministry, there is one thing I want to focus on, concerning anupcoming evangelical event that Mimi Aranda will be in charge of. She willbe taking three young men from our Mexican Church plant to Leon, Mexicoto be part of street evangelism in that large city. They will be working alongside of three different churches.

They need your prayers and if it is in your heart, I want to ask you to help with some ofthe costs they need for the week they will be traveling and sharing. They will be going bybus, sleeping in sleeping bags in a church. They will be taking care of their own mealsetc... They have been raising their own money but still need three or four hundreddollars to complete their needs.

God bless, John

FromMimi:

I was part of the mission team back in April 2015 in Guadalajara where Imet Cristian and Elsa.

Therefore, whenever a team is being put together, I am sent an invite.I jumped on it when I read the purpose of the mission:

~workshops on street evangelism geared toward youth

~Posadas, but showing the true meaning of Christmas

~Ministering to 3 Foursquare churches.

~Outreach!

November

Vicente, Alex and Luvi will get hands on training! Vicente will be part of the worshipteam (rapping of course). They will share their testimony and how Jesus is their Lord.

True mission! We will be sleeping in the church (sleeping on the floor), meals will beserved to us by the church where we stay. Two days at each church. Mostly out andabout evangelizing!

Here are some words from each of the team:

This is my first mission and I am blessed to have been chosen toparticipate. It is a great opportunity to serve alongside others who arewell trained and be able to learn from them. I am looking forward withgreat anticipation to serve my Lord this way.

~Alejandro Oregon Martinez

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve and learn newthings to be able to help in ministry. I am very happy and deeplyemotional for it is my first mission and I believe this experience will equipme better to first help me grow and be better use to my church family.

I am very happy and excited because this is something I love to do!

I am joyful for this opportunity that we have to be part of this missionteam to learn how to do street outreach to win souls for our Lord JesusChrist. To be part of this mission will be a great blessing for us personallyand a wonderful learning experience in our walk with Jesus.

I want to thank God and all of those who put in their grain of sand insupport for this mission to be accomplished.

Thanksgiving this year wasshared on the Sunday beforewith our Mexican church plantled by Cristian Cruz. We choseSunday as it was a better timefor more of our Mexicanbrothers and sisters whocould attend. And it was a dayof Thanksgiving. Our Englishspeaking team this time of the year prepared a full dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes,salads, dressings and pumpkin pie. The only thing is we also served tortillas and pure

Mexican salsa.

Mimi Aranda gave a good message ofthe background of the history ofThanksgiving and then asked eachperson to say something that they arethankful for. God was thanked andblessed.

It was athankful

time we could give and in return the Mexicans gave eachgringo a beautiful note of thanks and love plus a bag ofMexican coffee.

We were able to feed 40 plusMexicans because of theblessings people give throughJohn L. Sullivan Ministries in theUnited States and Canada.

I want to thank again those whotook part in cooking and servingand my Mexican wife Beti, who was a gringa for the night tohelp prepare. Gracias, mi amor.

God bless, John and Beti

From Beti:

When I start writing to tell you, brothers and sisters in Christ, the wondersour Lord is doing here, I imagine your faces and I rejoice in how great,

large, loving, wonderful Christian family the Lord has given us! God bless you all!

The Lord says in Isaiah 43:7 “Everyone who is called by my name, whom I have createdfor my glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him”. Yes, the Lord has given us life toglorify His Name…

I hope you remember I shared with youabout a lady who had bone cancer. Shepassed away after receiving Jesus in herheart…that was one year ago…after herdeath, their son and two daughters askedme to keep visiting them and I did. Istarted sharing the Bible with them butthey were not ready to receive the Word

yet … Guess what! Their children were! They wereand are always so excited to study the Bible andinvited the neighbors! The ladies told me this lastweek: “The kids were invited to a birthday party butthey said: “We won’t go. We have classes withBeti”…Our God is good! I have been teaching thesekids for one year now! “Thank you Jesus”

I was in the United States with Pastor John few weeks ago whenI received a phone call…it was one of my Bible students’ mother.She was devastated…Her other daughter had had an accident,she was in very bad condition, she was unconscious forweeks…the doctors did not give her any hope, they were askingthem to donate some parts of her body…but this mother hadthe hope in our Lord, our Savior, our Healer, our God who giveslife! We prayed, prayed and our Lord Jesus answered when thedoctors had given them the last day to disconnect the girl! Sheopened her eyes and started a new life, a new opportunity toknow Jesus! I have been visiting her, she needs more operationsin her head but she can talk and glorify our Lord…she says: “Iknow it is a miracle from God” but she does not know Him yet…

“Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him Iproclaim to you”. Acts 17:23

In His love,

Beti Sullivan

Ministry at the garbage dump in Zihuatanejo

Dear family and friends in faith, we hope you are doing well whenyou get this letter. We feel happy doing the work the Lord has calledus to do because we have been witnesses of the change our God isdoing in these kids, changes in all aspects: personal hygiene, behavior,manners, in their faith...We feel pleased with them, thank God.

We are working together with the pastor John and Beti. We had a movie last friday.There were around 70 people and the response was great!

When we started working there we had around 15 or 20 kids. Now we have around 50kids!

We work hard with the kids from Monday through Friday and we share with families onSunday. We know it is worth it to share the Good News in Jesus with people who make aliving picking up garbage...

We ask for your prayers so the Lord gives us wisdom to do the kind of work that pleasesHim.

We love you in Christ Jesus,

Tony & Mayra Pineda
