"Thank You for Your Service"
We hear those words often, "Thank You for Your service", for those serving in the military, our police officers. nurses, doctors, firefighters and anyone else who is serving on the front lines for our country and our well being. There is another group of individuals that have dedicated their lives to serve others first in a whole other capacity. Our Christian leaders both teaching and preaching. But still there is another group who serve mostly unnoticed. Our missionaries both foreign and here at home. I would like to dedicate this time to lifting up our missionaries, preachers and Christian leaders. One in particular is Jose Manuel Gonzalez, our Field Director, Missionary, Preacher and all the other duties he carries out on a daily basis in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. If you could send him a "Thank You for Your Service" note via email or a real letter that would be very uplifting for him. Jose has a heart for serving the Lord. He loves to preach, teach, sing, play the guitar, pray with others before self and much more. At the end of this email you will find his addresses both email and home address. "Thank You for Your Service", Jose Jose thank you for going places that none of us will ever see or even have the opportunity to go. Thank you for preparing sermons and lessons to help people see their need for Christ in their lives. Pray for Jose as he leads a congregation, teaches at the Bible College and oversees the inner city ministry of E.M.M. Finally we want to "Thank You for Your Service" with us for the Kingdom work being carried out by E.M.M. Thank you for caring, thank you for giving and thank you for praying. New opportunities are coming our way and new people are being reached by the message of Jesus Christ. We are proud to announce that Valencio Martinez will begin helping in the office as our new financial director. He will oversee that your gifts are properly cared for and that all financial records kept in order. Valencio came to us at age 7 and now at age 35 he is well prepared to help with the ministry´s finances. Valencio has a degree in Accounting and a Business degree.

"GENEROSITY FULFILLED" Recently I heard the statement, "Generosity Fulfilled", by a church leader who was commending the congregation for their outstanding giving. Another church leader told his congregation during a Sunday morning offering thought that "the church does not need your money, it´s you who needs to give as the Lord blesses your life and family and in turn the church is blessed." Both churches are thriving for the Kingdom at home and abroad. Both congregations are living our what the Bible teaches about giving and that it is a blessing and an honor to support the Church and its many mission out reach opportunities. We too want to lift up our outstanding supporters for their, "Generosity Fulfilled", in supporting the ministry of Emanuel Mexico Mission. Our board of directors are deeply involved in seeing that the mission work carried out is having an impact on peoples lives in Mexico. Also we are accountable to the Valley Christian Church as our home base in Lakeville, Minnesota and all of our wonderful supporters throughout Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and California. As we enter this time of fall harvest we see the farmers bringing in what they had sowed in the spring and watched and waited as God abundantly water throughout the spring and summer months. It´s always God who blesses the increase to the harvest especially when we consider the ministry of the Church. Consider giving a first fruits gift of your fall harvest whether your a farmer or any kind of able bodied worker. It is us who needs to give as the Lord blesses our efforts and labors. Jose was asked to teach (Tuesday to Friday) at Colegio Cristiano del Centro (CCC) located here in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. This year the college has experienced a new growth in the student body and in need of more professors and faculty.. It is only a 15 minute drive from the mission and still allows time for Jose to oversee all the mission outreach opportunities that EMM is involved in here in the inner city. Jose is helping to fulfill the Great Commission by teaching and enabling a new generation of Church leaders to be sent out into the harvest fields. The Bible says the harvest is plentiful. Pray for Jose and his students as together they are answering the call for more workers. "Generosity Fulfilled" by our outstanding supporters of Emanuel Mexico Mission.
