"CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico - Hurricane Lane slammed into a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico�s Pacific coast south of the city of Culiacan on Saturday after battering the resort of Mazatlan with strong winds and rain.
The storm, which hit land at Category 3 strength, flooded streets, forced the airport to cancel flights and knocked out power in parts of Mazatlan, a resort and retirement community popular among Americans
" Mexico's flood damages are so severe, it could be months before survivors will be able to return home. Media accounts are calling the flooding crisis in Tabasco state the worst in a half century.
World Vision is providing some of the basic necessities to the nearly one million displaced, of which about 25,000 are children.
Nearly 40 metric tons of soap, shampoo, sanitary towels, sanitary paper rolls, powdered detergent, and liquid cleaner have been donated to World Vision and are being shipped to Villahermosa, although flooded and mud-covered roadways may cause delays. Additionally, staff is providing lanterns, batteries, and children's toys. ..."

Subject: hey my trip
"
Hey guys, I want to tell you all how my trip to Mexico went. It was so great! Totally God ordained. The presence of God was there. The unity between our team was just awesome. There were , of course, a lot of battle, but it was different.
We did a lot of door to door witnessing. And sowed some good seeds. Really explaining the gospel and who Jesus really is. There were a lot of catholics. And alot who lived in the richer section of town. They thought that they didn't have any problems, so why need God? but there were many effected. And many seeds planted. God is so wonderful.
For me, I was so satisfied to be in Latin culture again. I had missed it so much. I realized the need for deep realationships when i am at home. Not just a once a week thing. Once a month e-mail. I have tried to live myself and be selfish too much when I am at home. He also taught me obedience. To truly do and accomplish the great commision. The verses love the Lord your God, And neighbor.
one of the opprotunies that God really put on my heart to pray and seek it coming to pass, happened. I was able to go to a church in one of the poor areas and pray for them. Gods anointing was so strong. And that he made it happen is so cool. It is truly amazing to think that God whould do such a thing for me. God fullfills his prophesies though the means that he wants. In my case he was teaching me obedience and working for somthing.
2 years ago I had reacienved a prophetic word that I would travel with a team to Mexico and the glory and blessing of the Lord would come upon it. I would go to a white church and enter through a broken door with a hole in it. I would pray for the pastor and somthing about his daughter. There would be a divine conection there, of out faith. The begaining of an anointing for the next season of my life. it would run 7-8 years. i would do the right thing.
I talked to Darrell about it. And he said that he'd seen that place before. So, I kept on praying about it and finelly decided that i needed to go there. So, I did. by God. My friend, Alejandria and i went with her pastor. And The other pastor wasn't there and I have no idea about the daughter but, I did write down the word so that Ale could give it to the church. i belive that half of the thing came true, the rest, maybe as well. who knows how God works? Things taht are hidden may have come.
ey so then, Many other cool things happened, God so broke my heart.
Love you all, and God bless. Totally search for his heart on things.- Ashley

A new bilingual newspaper serves rural Minnesota
by Tim Post, Minnesota Public Radio
February 24, 2006 "St. Cloud, Minn. — Shoshana and Renan Cruz are sitting at a table in the downtown St. Cloud library. A man in a cowboy hat is eavesdropping as they talk about their new publishing venture, a Spanish and English newspaper. After a few minutes he approaches the two. In Spanish he tells the couple the newspaper sounds like "a good idea" and gives them a thumbs-up. Shoshana and Renan say that's all the proof they need to know their effort will be successful."
"..But, I have been thinking and, of course, I have been thinking about America's obsession with shutting down the Mexican-American border. You would wonder why I don't tire of this rhetoric and the reason is simple. America needs the likes of your humble and gracious columnist reminding them to get out of that box of uncritical thinking and untested assumptions...
2. Another issue that all the Minuteman Project groups and their ilk espouse is whether Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal, are destroying the American economy. The Chris Simcoxs3 of this world would have you believe that immigrants of any kind are a bad thing all around. They go beyond the pale to try to make the point that Mexicans do NOT come to America to try to better their lives but to take back the portion of America that America stole from Mexico-they call them invaders.
Think about these few points:
� Most Mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal, come to America to seek an opportunity to better their economic circumstances. If you hold a different view then show me the proof. Show me the evidence in the form of properly conducted studies with replicated results in additional studies and then we will talk.
� Did you know that less than 20 million Americans will visit Mexico this year as tourists? That is a mere drop in the bucket of those who could come and drop some money into the Mexican economy that would provide more jobs for those illegals who come to America to find work instead.
� Legals or illegals come to America to offer their ability to work. They understand that in order to "get" they have to "give"....

"video clip de marcos witt"
Related Sites: Wikipedia "(born May 19, 1962), is a four-time Grammy Award-winning American-Mexican Christian singer...He's the second born of three children to Jerry and Nola Witt, a young American missionary couple. The Witt family had just moved to Durango, México, that same year where they had started a missionary outreach. That work was unexpectedly halted after Jerry's tragic death in 1964.
Years later Marcos' mother, Nola Holder, would find a companion in Frank Warren and remarry. Frank embraced the vision God had originally given Jerry and Nola as his own and together they would begin to build new churches in Durango, México. This second marriage not only provided a husband for Nola, but equally important, a father figure for Marcos, Jerry, and Felipe. Later, the couple would give birth to two additional children–twin daughters–Nola and Lorena Warren.
Marcos’s education began with basic studies at the American School of Durango. He then studied classical music at the University of Juarez (Durango, México) and eventually he started his theological studies at International Bible College in San Antonio, Texas. Currently, Marcos is working towards his masters degree at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
He is also pastor of the Spanish congregation at the megachurch Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas."

The 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America
From music to politics to business, Hispanics are remaking America. TIME presents 25 titans leading the Latino charge into the 21st century Posted Saturday, Aug. 13, 2005 (Time.com)
"Spanish has become the U.S.'s de facto second language, Nuevo Latino has taken its rightful place in haute cuisine, the sounds of rock en Español and reggaeton have filtered up the charts, and Latinos not only star on but own and manage major league baseball teams. But like any immigrant group that has shaped mainstream U.S. culture before fully asserting its economic or political power, the nation's 41.3 million Hispanics are just getting warmed up. While they command nearly $600 billion in buying power, they are only starting to attract the marketing attention on Madison Avenue that they merit, and their political clout similarly lags behind their sheer numbers. The country's largest ethnic minority, Hispanics promise to help remake America in the 21st century as vitally as African Americans did in the 20th.
Still, perhaps more than any of their immigrant predecessors, Hispanics defy easy categorization. Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans and Argentine Americans may all speak the same language, but many wouldn't dream of standing under the same cultural umbrella. A fair number of U.S.-born Hispanics don't speak Spanish, and many others have little or no European blood. Indeed, the category Hispanic is a gringo construct—first used by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1980—and the only one based on culture and language instead of race. That dubious distinction frustrates some Hispanics, who believe they belong to a separate race, the product of an epic Latin American miscegenation of Iberian, Native American and African heritage. A growing number, especially in California and the Northeast, prefer the term Latino. But in a Time poll of Hispanic adults, 42% said they choose to be called Hispanic, only 17% said Latino and 34% had no particular preference. Such a wide array of opinions and agendas is reflected in Time's list of the nation's 25 most influential Hispanics, who range from celebrities like J. Lo and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to the lesser-known labor activist Pablo Alvarado and art curator Mari Carmen Ram"rez. She says her job is to be an evangelist for Latino culture. With these 24 powerful Hispanics at her side, no wonder word is spreading fast. "
"pastor training is coordinated with local churches within eight denominations. The VBS Ministry has expanded from Quantana Roo to other states in Mexico - Yucatan and Campeche. One of the denominations in the state of Tabasco has asked for assistance with the Video Bible Schools.

"History
At least three great civilizations�the Mayas, the Olmecs, and later the Toltecs�preceded the wealthy Aztec empire, conquered in 1519�1521 by the Spanish under Hernando Cort�s. Spain ruled Mexico as part of the viceroyalty of New Spain for the next 300 years until Sept. 16, 1810, when the Mexicans first revolted. They won independence in 1821.
From 1821 to 1877, there were two emperors, several dictators, and enough presidents and provisional executives to make a new government on the average of every nine months. Mexico lost Texas (1836), and after defeat in the war with the U.S. (1846�1848), it lost the area that is now California, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona and New Mexico, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In 1855, the Indian patriot Benito Ju�rez began a series of reforms, including the disestablishment of the Catholic Church, which owned vast property. The subsequent civil war was interrupted by the French invasion of Mexico (1861) and the crowning of Maximilian of Austria as emperor (1864). He was overthrown and executed by forces under Ju�rez, who again became president in 1867..."

"I just recently returned from a missions trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico. I was asked to shoot the video for my church pureheart.org. We traveled to a small village outside of Puerto Penasco along the sea of Cortez. We had an outdoor barbecue with live music for the residents. The young boy in this video had never walked before. It was caused by a Birth condition where water got into the placenta.He had never felt his legs before so you can imagine how scary and shocked he was. People at the grill cooking. Said they could not tell what was going on but, could feel the presence of God so strongly! Even though they were standing in front of a blazing grill they got goosebumps. Pastor Carlos the man who was in charge of the event. Had a similar experiance with his own son at birth he was not able to walk. Pastor Carlos, prayed to God if You heal my son I will serve you. So God healed the boy. I saw him running an playing at the Church.When this healing happened he was called by God to start a church in Puerto Penasco. It was a very powerful moment!! A life changing experiance for everyone!!! My faith in God for healing has increased since I was blessed to be apart of this incrediable miracle.���Glory to God !!!!!
