God's Love in Action

MICHOACÁN, MÉXICO – God remains faithful and good through every season, sustaining us through recent challenges while also blessing us with many encouraging opportunities.

SERVING THROUGH THE MEDICAL CLINIC IN CAPÁCUARO

Thank you for praying for the April medical clinic with Friends Without Borders. About 3,000 people received free medical, dental, and vision care, along with opportunities to hear the Gospel. We were encouraged to see many families open their homes and hearts, making the outreach a powerful testimony of God's love in action. There were no security incidents, and despite the threat of rain disrupting our work, God kept the weather clear and everyone safe and healthy.

NEW DOORS OPENING IN CORUPO

After several attempts, we connected with Joseph and Elisa, a couple eager to learn from God's Word. Despite living with severe Parkinson's disease, Joseph longs to share the Gospel with others. We are now meeting with them weekly for Bible study and have been encouraged by their openness to Scripture.

NEW CONTACTS IN CORUPO

God has been opening encouraging new doors in Corupo. Through mutual friends, we met Umberto and Auralia, who have warmly welcomed us into their home and remain open to ongoing visits. We have also renewed contact with Maria and her family, giving us opportunities to share God's Word as they become more receptive. Although security concerns have sometimes limited our travel to Corupo, these new and renewed relationships remind us that God is at work even when ministry progress seems slow.

A TIME OF REFRESHMENT

In early June, we enjoyed a refreshing retreat with our co-workers, former leaders Mike and Bonnie Burnam, and current leaders Paul and Roxanne Wilson. Sponsored by a church in Puerto Rico, it was a special time of fellowship, encouragement, and rest, while also marking Mike and Bonnie's final formal visit with the church planting team.

FAMILY UPDATE

We are doing well overall, despite a few health challenges. Pete enjoys working on the property wall, which provides both exercise and improved security. Our garden is thriving, with blackberries, corn, and squash growing well. Josiah is enjoying his time at Capernwray and recently visited Saskatchewan. Christy Ann continues discipling young women and has also begun working a few hours a week at a greenhouse, which she greatly enjoys.

PRAYER REQUESTS

• Effective follow-up with those reached through the medical clinic.

• Spiritual growth and physical healing for Joseph and Elisa.

• Salvation for Umberto and Auralia, and wisdom for future conversations with them.

• Salvation and spiritual openness for Maria and her family.

• Safety and open doors for ministry in Corupo.

• Health, strength, and encouragement for our family and ministry team.

Pete & Cathy Dyck are EMMC missionaries serving with WEC International in Spain.
