So we are now back in Mexico after spending our Christmas holidays in Canada with Kara's side of the family. It was a great time to relax and reflect on our first three months spent it Mexico. Its amazing how much you can learn in three months in another country and not even realize it. We are excited to be back though, and it is shaping up to be a very busy year; more so than last year. We are going to be involved with a Mexican established church about 2 hours from where we live, and involved with a cell group in total about every other week. We will be under Mexican leadership working alongside Mexican pastors. We have been asked to start and help out with a worship training group for the particular church we are going to be involved with. Which means we need to learn spanish a whole lot more. Other than this we are still involved heavily with fusion ministry in Coyoacan area, and are equally excited about what God has in store for this ministry.
We started at a new spanish school which is turning out to be a really good challenge and just what we needed to learn spanish more quickly. Furthermore, of most recent changes we have also just moved into a new place where we have our own apartment, and a place which is considerably closer then our last home stay with a Mexican family.
So there is just a brief update for those of you who wanted to know, and is the first of many more to come. With such a busy schedule this new year, I am forced to become better with how I managed my time.
Kara and I are still sending out monthly newsletters, but from some feedback we have recieved we discovered that not everyone is getting our newsletters. So, we have decided to switch mail providers, and have signed up with GMAIL, and will no longer be using HOTMAIL. So if you can make a change in that, our new email is
rautenbergs@gmail.com (NEW EMAIL)
We would love to hear from you, and will be sending a mass email noting our change of email.
May God bless you all with his richest blessing. Would you continue to pray for us daily as we are making decision of what to include and exclude in our ministry here. Pray for clarity, and direction.
One last thing as well, Kara and I are still in need of more donations in order to continue to minister here in Mexico for the next 8 months we have left. If you can be in prayer, we still need roughly 14,000 dollars more to cover the expenses of our year here in Mexico. We trust in God and have seen his provision. He has placed on many of your hearts the desire to support Kara and I financially in Mexico this year, and we thank you all for your support in this way. We would not be here if it wasn't for Gods grace, your prayers, and your financially giving.
Please email us if you have any questions. We love hearing from you and all that God is doing in your lives and in your communities back home.
Dios de bendiga, Nathan and Kara
