Frances' Missionary Journey

November 2018

Dear Friends,
I am excited to update you about my ministry and share what God has been stirring in my heart!

For the past 3 years, I have been a teacher at a Christian boarding school for Deaf children in the Guadalupe Valley of Baja California, Mexico. At Rancho Sordo Mundo, we introduced the kids to Mexican sign language, Spanish, a primary education, and, most importantly, the Gospel and love of Jesus. I taught the K-2nd level (ages varied) and daily chapel for the teenage students. While experiencing all the highs and lows of ministry, I grew to understand the importance of maintaining intimacy with the Father.

These have been the most challenging years of my life as I have followed God into the unknown, moved to Mexico, entered into Deaf and Mexican culture, depended on the Holy Spirit as I served, and sought to be a light to those around me. Throughout my time there, God increased my heart for the Deaf and strengthened my passion to help them understand the love of Jesus and their identity in Him.

As of this year, for many reasons, RSM has decided to close the school and develop their ministry in Mexico. In this transition, God has birthed something new in my heart. I see how as one door closed, another opened to continue serving the Deaf. After over a year of seeking God’s wisdom, I have partnered with my friend and started a ministry called Word Became Flesh Global.

In prayerfully looking at the needs of the Deaf community in Ensenada, we feel God leading us to have our first project be a home for young adult, Deaf women. We desire to see their lives transformed as we manifest the love of Jesus by helping them lead flourishing lives of independence through providing equal access to housing, education, and community.

In August, we joined the board of a 501(c)3 non-profit called Angels of Love, Inc. The organization focuses on reaching the Deaf for Christ by providing housing for young adult, Deaf men in Ensenada. Now, AOL has become the sponsoring organization of our new ministry, Word Became Flesh Global. In addition to launching WBFG, I am continuing my weekly Mexican sign language classes--I started Level 5 in September--and will soon begin Spanish classes to further my development as a missionary to the Deaf in Mexico.

Here we are in the kitchen of my new apartment. This is Josefina, my spiritual mama. She is Deaf and the mother of my friend & ministry partner, Lucas.

After a couple of months of searching, I will soon be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment in Ensenada. Now, I have the ability to provide a safe home for young, Deaf women in need. I am joyfully expectant as I step out in faith, trusting God will provide all I need. There will be plenty of ongoing necessities for operating this type of ministry. As a missionary, I will need to raise funds for rent, utilities, gas, groceries, various home needs, and personal expenses. Will you partner with me in this new ministry by becoming a monthly supporter of my missionary journey?
