Blogger jacked up our blog - don't even know where to start -- will try to facilitate things here -- sorry for the confusion...

This is Walt Requejo, that crazy missionary that was sent out by Reality Carpinteria way back in February of 2007, still serving the Lord faithfully with my wife Maribel here in Ensenada, Mexico, until He comes back to take us to the Promised Land . . . Lord come quickly.
TRUE TESTIMONY . . .
The above photo is the building my wife and I have been praying about as I venture out tomorrow to 'iron' out a rental agreement with our new landlord for this place, if the Lord is willing. It will be the home of H.E.L.P. ministry in Zorrillo, and what God has already placed in our hearts, to continue to serve the community with bible studies for our Jr. High and very soon elementary kids - we already have a wonderful location for our bibles studies in Durango, and we know that the Lord would have us take this step in faith to secure a home base for the kids of Zorrillo, both for bible studies and to also begin offering tutoring for all the kids, both jr. high and elementary.
Please keep us in prayer, that the Lord would give us favor with the landlord tomorrow, to use the facility to honor and glorify God, and to serve this amazing community the Lord has placed us in.
As we proceed with our new endeavor (our own ministry) the Lord has been directing us to continue as we always have - we are to encourage (1Thess5:11), provide hope (H.E.L.P., the name of our ministry), and continue to bless people (Gal6:10) in whatever manner God provides.
I will be posting during the next few days more updates on what has been going on here south of the border.
To see exactly how God has been working in our lives over the last weeks, please take a look at some of our blog entries below.
Our prayer as always is that more people will come alongside to assist us as we serve our gracious Lord here in Mexico, whether it be thru prayer, encouragement, or financial giving, you are a part of this ministry. My wife and I are just the hands & feet God has sent to share the Good News!
All of our love,

Walt & Maribel

The Ministry of H.E.L.P. Is Now A Reality

If you take a gander at one of my older blog entries (The Ministry of H.E.L.P. 7/22/12) just a little over three years ago, I remember when the Lord laid that desire on my heart for a ministry of our very own. At the time my wife and I were newly engaged and we were both praying for God's wisdom and direction, and the timing wasn't quite right to begin a ministry. Three years later though, and with the assistance of our dear friends at Genesis Diez who have blessed us so much this last year, it is now time to step out of the proverbial boat and allow the Lord to lead us into the ministry which He has designed specifically for us. My wife and I from the very beginning (before dating) have served alongside each other in other ministries, and we are excited about this new opportunity that God has laid before us!
We will continue to work with our kids from the community of Zorrillo (jr. high bible study group) as well as the kids from Durango, and very soon we will begin an outreach for the elementary kids also in the Zorrillo area.
The acronym (H.E.L.P.) that the Lord gave me over three years ago was refined by a friend just the other day when he shared with me a testimony of God's faithfulness - truly indeed, Hope Endures by Loving People!
When the opportunity to begin our own ministry presented itself just days ago, here is what the Lord laid on my heart - the hope that we share with other people is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and only today the Lord gave me the scriptures (Jhn15:12:13) to follow, and a quote from R.C. Sproul . . .
"When God calls us to serve, He calls us to come alongside others and become a part of their lives. He uses us to hold each other up and to help others grow in their walk with Christ. Look at those who surround you, and discern who you need to serve. Deliberately plan to become a part of their lives so that you can fulfill His call."
My wife and I have deliberately been sent by the Lord to minister to the kids of these communities - please join us in this endeavor. In the coming days we will share more on how the Lord is leading us to bless the people we serve, and how you our faithful friends and family can come alongside us and serve, whether it be thru prayer, encouragement, financial assistance, or actually coming down and visiting all the kids we minister to - God is good, all the time!
All of our love,
Walt & Maribel
