Called

The next step is to finish the east wing, making it the front/dining room. But in the midst of that preparation, new things began happening. By divine appointment, we met James and Cassy, a young family who were so excited about a new adventure they were getting prepared to take to south Mexico. The same day we meet Sue and felt incredibly drawn together. She and her husband had founded the missions base in south Mexico where James and Cassy were going. A few weeks later the Lord told us to lay aside our work and go meet Sue's husband Duane in Tulsa, Okla. God spoke to our hearts to come alongside these people and He began to knit us together. At the same time, John was recalling a vision he had in India. He was on the edge of a Grande Canyon chasm and the Lord was saying to him to step off. When he stepped off, two angels carried him across, through a cloud. On the other side were short, black-haired people jumping up and down, smiling and waving, beckoning him to come. As the angels set him down, they surrounded him and led him away to their village. He expected to find those people somewhere in India but never did. The first of September, John and his brother David went to view the Roca Blanca mission base in Oaxaca, Mexico and see what God was doing there. John was thrilled to find the people of his vision and was delighted to speak in a couple of the missions training classes on the campus.
Roca Blanca can be viewed online but in brief, it is a training, equipping campus for all ages. There are schools for the children, youth, pastors, worshippers, missionaries, as well as sewing, vo-tech, and language classes. A medical/dental clinic operate there also. Its setting is incredibly gorgeous, spread along the beach at the base of some beautiful mountains. These mountains are full of tribes of Aztec/Mexican peoples of many dialects and many heathen practices.
The campus is so full of students that there are no accomodations so the suggestion was made that if we were to come work there, we would have to provide our own housing with a travel trailer. That means a good truck is required to haul the trailer over the 40 plus hours journey. That's a tall order when all our income has gone into building. But, it was an order from the King Most High and where He sends, He provides and equips. So, we wait and watch and work. Yes, we're still building the barn.
