DECEMBER UPDATE FROM DEBOLTS - MEXICO

EMANUEL - "GOD WITH US"

It's the perfect time of year to update family and friends on our year of 2017.

Our year working with the students kept us busy with times of praying, devotions, studying God's Word, counseling, crying and laughing.  We said good-bye to graduates in May and welcomed new students in August.  Plus, we were able to attend the 25th Anniversary of the Ontañon Church of Christ, October 8, which we began in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.  Our mission was in charge at a summer youth camp in Northern Mexico and was able to assist victims of the September earthquake in Puebla, Mexico, November 27 to December 1.  Throughout Mexico, God is with us.

Our family added one more grandchild, Jackson Miles Gargano, parents, Mari (DeBolt) and Tony are so happy to have Jack (born 5-25-17).  Then we were blessed to attend Efrain's (one of our Casa de Niños boys) wedding on October 14.

This time of year we think of our blessing from 2017.  Thanks to to the Lord we have been blessed with our family and ministry, Emanual Mexico Mission, God with us.

WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THOSE WHO FAITHFULLY SUPPORTED US DURING 2017 FINANCIALLY.  Your offerings help us carry out the mission work we have been called to do in Mexico.  We know there are many needs calling your attention for help.  For that reason we consider it a privilege to receive your help and work with you for the Kingdom of God.

As 2017 comes to a close, would you help us once again bring in the new year by supporting our work together with you throughout Mexico.  THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT AS WE SERVE AND REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED.   BECAUSE YOU GIVE, WE CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM THE MESSAGE OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.  

Matthew 1:18-23 "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about '....The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel', which means, 'God with us' ".
