Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am away from my family this Thanksgiving Day, and I miss them, but I accept that there are circumstances that sometimes take us away from our loved ones... I am so truly thankful that our Beloved One is never far away from us! I am thankful to my Lord today and every day for so many things, but today, I am thankful for you and your continuous prayers for our family, our ministry and for missions!

"I thank God for every remembrance of you..." Phillippians 1:3

Alyssia, Rissa, Alan, Ginger, Larry, Glyn, Luke, Savannah, Ben, Sarah, Samantha, David, Robbie, Jessica and Thomas... I love you!  Save me some turkey and dressing!

In El Salvador!

 








I am in El Salvador celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Iglesia Bautista Vista Hermosa, a dear church pastored by a dear friend, Edwin Castellanos.  Last night I was part of the inaguration service of the 40th anniversary of Iglesia Bautista Miramonte, the church where I was called to missions and ministered in music.  I was asked to sing the "old songs".  It was such a blessing to remember!  If you are interested, the link to hear the guest pastor, Jeff Adams (my pastor those years in Miramonte), and my participation (I sang after the preaching), follow the link: http://www.livestream.com/quiquemartinez/video?clipId=pla_70b2d6c8-dd52-4b2e-ab16-4883829e87da&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb
All in Spanish, of course...

Pray for these churches... They truly have a vision to reach the world for Christ and I will have the privilege to participate with them when my ministry as Global Mobilizer begins next year.

Voices of The Faithful Volume Two

As most of you know, I wrote 3 of the devotionals on volume 1 of Voices of The Faithful.  I have been blessed again to have been given the opportunity to participate in this new project.  I contributed 2 devotionals on volume 2.  Please consider buying these books to start a new year of inspirational, mission-minded, devotional life, and even better, share it with others!  Remember that all sales of this book support missions 100%.  If you cannot purchase it from me, go to http://www.voicesofthefaithful.org/ to order the books and other materials related to this wonderful project (the music video is great!).

If you enjoyed Voices of the Faithful, you'll love a brand-new year's worth of inspiring stories from the front lines of faith-366 new devotions from male and female missionaries around the globe. You'll hike mountain paths, jolt down rutted desert roads, pick your way through the teeming markets and crowded urban slums. You'll meet boisterous children, worried parents, anxious teens, curious seniors... all hungry, whether they know it or not, for the Good News.

My devotionals:
