Grace Christian Outreach Ministries — Kevin and Sylvia Rosendahl — Missionaries to Mexico

Dear Friends,
God bless all of you! I am finishing up my time connecting with
churches and individuals in Minnesota. It has been a
rejuvenating, fruitful time and God has done many amazing
things! It has also been a blessing to spend time with most of
the family and I will see my other brother, Lord willing, on the
way down to see Sylvia and Josh. It has also been nice to
connect with many friends and supporters of the ministry as
well! The plan is to head south October 11th. Please pray for a
safe trip, for my truck to run well all the way down and for
abundant funds for the trip.
We are currently getting prepared to load the semi-truck from
Four Winds Trucking that will bring many ministry supplies
down to two warehouses in Laredo, Texas. Some of the ministry
supplies that will be in the semi are 200 – 300 chairs for
churches, 3 pallets (7500 pounds) of beans for us to distribute
to needy people after our outreaches, blankets and quilts,
Blessing Bags and Joy Boxes for our children’s/ family
outreaches, tools, housewares and much, much more. Once the
ministry supplies arrive in Laredo, Texas the fifteen pallets of
Gospel literature will be crossed into Nuevo Laredo, Mexico on
a permit and it will begin to be sent around Mexico and into
Central America for churches and individuals to distribute to
people who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Some of the
Gospel booklets are discipleship booklets such as “Intimacy with
God” which, besides sharing the plan of salvation, helps people
to develop an intimate relationship with God! There are also
booklets on prayer, freedom from shame and depression and
many more. Please pray for safe travels for the semi and driver
and for no mechanical problems on the semi during the trip.

Many of you may be wondering if we were able to get the van
for the Cora pastor to use to minister more effectively to the Cora
and Huichole Indians in the mountains near Tepic, Nayarit,
Mexico. We were able to get it, praise God, and we thank God for
his provision through His people! God is amazing as are His
people!

The Spanish church in Ashby, Minnesota that GCOM has been
helping is doing well and God has called several people to be
ministers in the church. A core group – 6-8 people – of the 20 -30
church attendees come an hour early to the church to watch a
Bible College class through our International School of Ministry
Bible College. Our goal is to train up Spanish speaking leaders to
be able to send them to start new Spanish speaking churches in
towns or cities with high Spanish speaking populations. With all of
the immigrants currently coming into the United States there is,
and will continue to be, a need for trained ministers of the Gospel
to go and start new churches as the Holy Spirit leads!
As we begin doing ministry again in Mexico our plans are to, in
the first two weeks of November, cross in to our warehouse in
Nuevo Laredo, non – literature ministry supplies such as beans,
blessing bags, Joy Boxes, blankets, clothes, tables, etc. to bring on
our next ministry trip to Tenancingo, Tlaxcala, Mexico.
Tenancingo is considered the “Sex Trafficking Capital of Mexico”
and many say of the “Sex Trafficking Capital of the World”. Young
girls get kidnapped from the area and are sent throughout
Mexico, to the United States and to various parts of the world to
be sold as prostitutes in the sex trafficking industry.
It sounds like there will be a group of us going on this trip and we
will also do children’s/family outreaches in Poza Rica, Veracruz, as
well as graduate thirteen people from our video Bible College.
Please pray for God to use these outreaches in Tenancingo to
bring change to this evil area of Mexico, for people’s hearts to be
prepared to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in both of these areas
and for the sex trafficking to be stopped not only in this area but
around the world. We know that this is God’s will!!

Thanks for your support of GCOM through your prayers, financial
support, encouragement and donation of ministry supplies to GCOM
to bless the people of Mexico. We do our part, you do your part, as
God leads you, and God is glorified. People come to know Jesus as
Lord and Savior and become disciples of Jesus Christ! We are a team
working together to impact lives for eternity! A month ago, we
received a letter from one of our most faithful and generous
committed monthly donors that, due to circumstances, they would
have to reduce their monthly donation by $500. Between this loss of
monthly support and the death of another monthly supporter, our
committed monthly support has dropped by $700. We are praying
for God to raise up new committed monthly supporters to make up
for what has been lost. If God leads you to help in this way please
drop us a note, along with your donation, to let us know that you are
going to donate on a monthly basis, quarterly basis, etc. We know
that God is our source but He chooses to work through His church and
individuals in the church to meet the needs of His ministry. Thanks for
all you do to impact lives for Christ through partnering with GCOM.
You are in our prayers faithfully! May God bless all of you and your
families as you continue to seek His face!!
