FoxNews Update! "All Moved In!"



All Moved in!

It all started on a shaky note, When we got to DFW to depart for Mexico we found out that Placy’s passport was missing! it had fallen out in the floorboard of our truck! My parents got it back to us and we made the flight with 10 minutes to spare. We departed to Queretaro and GOD has really been blessing since we arrived! We found our house and  our car  an hour after we landed !  We have been here in Querétaro now for about a month! It’s awesome! the girls are in Ballet, Logan is playing Soccer for the Chivas (The BEST team in the world!), Placy has started school with the kids, & We are getting to know the people of the church and everyone around us and the city. We have already started inviting people to the house every sunday after Church for lunch and fellowship! We are excited to be here ministering in Querétaro with the Lamberts and the Bedfords as Ambassadors of Christ!  


Iglesia Biblica Cristo Salva

I’d like to introduce ya’ll to our Church Christ Saves Bible Church! The church has been around for about 15 yrs. It was founded by a Cam missionary named  Ken Hannah (deceased). The Church has one Main Pastor: Pastor Eleazar Escobar Lopez. Paul and Eleazar have been together in ministry, for the last 12 yrs! for 11 of those yrs. they have been working at Cristo Salva. there are about 100 people that attend church regularly. Our main ministries right now are parenting classes, basic Bible studies, Awanas club, and discipleship. There are a lot of new families and the need for these is always high! Paul and Team Mexico (us) also focus on broad based leadership training (btcp) we have two classes going right now. For right now, I am “auditing” or sitting in on most of the ministries and bible studies getting to know the people of the Church and building “confianza” (trust) with them. Remember, you must earn the right to teach with faithfulness and a good testimony! So, please Pray for the LORD to bring me some *FAT Boys soon and that I could start contributing soon! I’m excited to get involved in teaching btcp! The LORD has brought Placy a *FAT girl and maybe two! 


The Posession

Early in the morning, Tim got a call from our Pastor (Eleazar) of our church Cristo Salva. There was a problem with a church members son. He was “sick” and needed their help. As they arrived at the house, the mother comes down the stairs yelling “He’s getting worse!” so, they rush upstairs and the son starts shaking all over, and is trying to choke himself. Eleazar jumps on him and pulls his hands from his throat and starts Praying at the boy. The boy, who is usually quiet and has a soft voice now has a deep throaty sound that Eleazar described as “other worldly”. This boys “sickness” is a demon. Eleazar & Tim spend the next two hours praying over the boy, reading scripture and restraining the boy. finally the demon is cast out and the boy is released! they quickly shared the gospel of Christ with him and he joyfully accepted Christ as his saviour. Tim is now meeting with him and discipling him in the way of Christ. Eleazar andTim meet with me the following Monday and tell me the story. Eleazar tells me that “this is just part of the ministry here in Querétaro”! He has done this three other times before! I know that Eleazar and Tim got a brief glimpse of the battle that rages all around us but is kept from our eyes: the Spiritual battle.  the spiritual world is real and it is whirling around us as we speak. I beg you, PLEASE, pray for us as we sometimes meet the enemy face to face. Ephesians 6 has a whole new meaning for me now. Pray for Queretaro as it is # 1 in Mexico in Satan worship. 

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:12-13


Prayer Request

-Pray for the Safety of our Children
-Pray for the Salvation of Alejandra Fox
-Pray for our City of Queretaro to be free of the lie of Satan worship/Narco terrorism
-Pray for our wisdom in how to combat it
-Pray for the Unity of Team Mexico
-Pray for our Marriage
-Pray for our Ministry
-Pray for GOD to send me some FAT Boys


*FAT boy/girl
-Faithful
-Available
-Teachable




Thank Ya’ll and GOD bless ya’ll for all you do for us!

WE ARE LEAVING!!

FoxNews Update!
Dearly beloved, I just wanted to let yall know that we have bought our Plane tickets! We leave for Querétaro on Sept. 20th at 10:00 a.m.! We Need three more Supporters at $50.00 a month then we will hit 100 % of our support. I’ll try and raise the rest there.


Supporter Appreciation Get together

We are having a Supporter Appreciation get together/Goodbye Party for ya’ll! It’ll be on  Friday Sept. 16th at night at the Cup at DBC from 7:00-9:00. I will be sending out RSVP’s soon. remember, RSVP is from the French, répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning “reply please” or "please respond". So, when ya get it, PLEASE RESPOND! 


Special Needs

Apart from three Supporters we also have a need for a used car. It is very unsafe to be driving our SUV in Mexico with Texas tags. The Missions office has made it policy that we may not take our vehicles into Mexico (a move I’m way in favor of!). It is way to dangerous. Therefore, we must buy a used car in Mexico. So, we must raise $8,000 for a used car. we have already raised $4,000. Would you prayerfully consider helping us with the cost of the car? 


The Fox Family

Placy & I have just celebrated our 10th year anniversary! We Pray for MANY more together! Please pray the GOD would change the world thru our marriage! 



Prayer Request


-The perfect house for ministry
-Smooth transition to Queretaro
-Protection from the Narcos

Than Ya'll For all you do for us!

FoxNews Update!


A Busy Month for the Foxes!
We have had a pretty busy month! We had a garage sale in the Colony and then we moved in with my Parents out in Aubrey. We will be staying here till we leave. A HUGE “Thank you” to the Laroque family for letting us stay at their house for the last year! GOD Bless them! Isa & Ale Say "Have a Happy & Safe 4th of JULY"!

Support Update
I am in the middle of trying to get the rest of our support raised so we can get to Queretero. We should be moving in mid-late july. We need 14 more supporters @ $50 apiece until we meet 100% of our support! This letter goes out to over 400 people. If you are not a supporter of ours, would you please consider supporting us @ $50 a month and send us to Mexico? Thank you.

My Friend
When we were in Monterrey I met a guy who became a good friend of mine. I discipled him for four years. He was active in IBUC (our Church), he graduated from college, got a great job there in Monterrey and seemed to be doin great. I just found out that he has turned gay. I have sent him a long email begging him to turn back to the LORD, but I haven't heard anything from him. Please take 30 seconds (RIGHT NOW) and PRAY for my deceived friend. Please.

New Contact info
I will be changing email addresses soon. The first two are My work emails and the last one is my personal. Please change ASAP. Also, We would love to Pray for you and your Family! Please, send me a picture of your family to one of the address below. Our refrigrator in Mexico is full of our friends. At every meal, we take one picture down and pray for that famiy. Don't miss out on the blessing! Send us one now!
   
   
GOD Bless you for all you do for us.

FoxNews Update en Español!

Amados Hermanos,
Les queremos dar ha conocer como esta nuestra familia, planes y la salud de
Placy.

La Salud de Placy
Antes que nada, les quiero dar gracias a todos los que oraron por Placy por un mes.Gracias a Dios Placy no tiene glaucoma. Su enfermedad autoinmune sigue todavia activa.Hace 3 semanas empezo con una nueva medicina (prednisona) y parece que le esta ayudando con el dolor, aunque la fatiga todavia persiste. Por favor oren para que el Senor obre un milagro.


La familia  Fox
Los ninos estan muy bien. Logan sigue jugando futbol y se esta aprendiendo mucho, siempre tiene una pelota en sus manos, sino es futbol es basquetbol o futbol americano. Isabella es la artista de la familia,escribe historias, dibuja pinta y le encanta ir a Home depot a aprender a construir cosas. Alejandra sigue  obsesionada con las danzas y bailarinas. En algunas semanas terminan con el ano escolar (Homeschool). Yo, tengo alto colesterol, asi que estoy tratando de comer mejor.


Querétaro Mexico
Estamos alistandonos para irmos a Querétaro!  Renovando pasaportes y vendiendo lo que tenemos aqui en Texas. Tenemos que comprar boletos de avion,  ya que nuestros lideres aqui en E.U no nos van  permitir manejar un vehiculo con placas americanas.
En Queretaro  vamos a trabajar con la Iglesia Biblica Cristo salva, va a ser un gran cambio para nosotros, especialmente despues de haber estado  en dos ciudades tan diferentes antes (Monterrey y Xalapa).


                                                              Motivos de oracion

  • Una casa de renta en Queretaro
  • Un buen doctor para Placy
  • Proteccion y  confianza en nuestro Dios
  • Ministerio, Queretaro es una de las ciudades en Mexico con menos cristianos.
  • Adaptacion de nuestros ninos a un nuevo lugar.

Gracias Por todo de sus Oraciones, DIOS les Bendiga!

Bryan y Placy

FoxNews Update!

Dearly beloved,
I wanted to send you an update to let ya’ll know about whats going on with Placy’s health and the family.

Placy’s health
first off, I would like to say thank you to all of to you that said and did Pray for Placy this last month. Thank You and GOD bless you. PRAISE! Placy does not have Glaucoma!! Yay! her doctor said that we will classify her as border line glaucoma but right now, she doesn't have it! Her auto-immune disease is still active and is causing her pain daily but she is learning to live with it. She started a new medication three weeks ago (Prednisone) and it is really helping with her Pain, although her fatigue is still a constant. Please continue to pray for her health and that GOD would do a miracle in her life.


The Fox Family
The kids are doin Great. Logan is still playin soccer in the Colony & he is gettig to be really Good! Isabella is quite the artist nowdays & she shows her creativity by writing books, drawing, painting, & going to the Home Depot to lean how to build stuff. Alejandra is obsessed with dancing & ballerinas. She also loves hangin out with Mommy & snuggling with Papi. They will be finishing home school in the next few weeks. I was found out to have high cholesterol the other day, so, I will be trying to eat a low fat diet, exercise, and pray that it goes down. 


Going to Querétaro Mexico
We are in the processes of getting ready to go to Querétaro! we are getting our passports updated, getting ready to sell everything here in Texas, buy the plane tickets, and buy a used vehicle in Mexico. Our support is steady & holding at 85%. We need 100% before we can leave. Please pray about joining our team & helping us get to Querétaro.
Some questions about Mexico:
Don’t you know about the Violence in Mexico?  YES I DO. trust me, if anyone is watching whats going on in Mexico It is me. the city where we are going is the eye of the hurricane. it’s the “safest” city in Mexico. My confidence is not in Mexico or in man but in the sovereignty of GOD. We are smack in the middle of HIS hands in Mexico or in the U.S. or wherever we go.
Aren't you scared? Yes I am. Soldiers that go off to war are scared too, but they go. We are in the Army of the Living GOD. Where HE sends us, we will go.
How will you get there? We will fly the whole family to Querétaro. There have been some changes in the way we can drive in Mexico. in the past, we could drive our vehicle into Mexico no problem, get a visa for our car which lasted for a yr. we still kept our Texas tags and our vehicle. Now the Missions office has made it policy that we may not take our vehicles into Mexico. Period (a move I’m way in favor of!). It is way to dangerous to have Texas tags in Mexico. Therefore, we
must buy a used car in Mexico with Mexican Tags.  




Prayer Request
  • a perfect house in Quetero
  • a Great Doctor for Placy
  • Adjustment for the Kids & Us
  • Safety from Kidnappers
  • Our Ministry


Thank Ya'll for everything you do for us, and GOD bless ya'll.

I Was ROBBED!

Dearly beloved,
As I write to you I am sittinng in my living rm. decompressing. I just was robbed. It all started when I left to go to the airport to pick up my good friend & boss,  Paul Lambert & his daughter Hannah Leah. We came back into denton and stopped at Texas roadhouse to eat a bit and have some fellowship. We stayed for about two hours. We then left the restraunt and headed over to a dear brothers house so Paul could pick up a car. We got the car and started to shift the luggage over to his car & thats when we saw we had been robbed. The thieves had broken into my truck by punching out the lock on the drivers side & whipped right into my truck. They stole all of Paul & Hannah Leas’s Clothes, Passports,  re-entry visas to Mexico, His Computer, Credit cards and various other Very importiant items. Paul was here to take a crisis managent course on conflict & emergency procedures. He now has lost A LOT. I send out this letter and ask that you send up some prayers for my good friend & brother.  If this touches your heart and would like to give a little extra, then I thank you. Get intouch with the Missions office at (940) 382-1761 and they can guide you. 


(Paul is in the middle)

Thank you and GOD Bless.

FoxNews Update! en Español


Querida familia y amigos 

Algunos de ustedes nos han pedido que les enviemos esta carta en espanol.
Siendo honestos, hasta ahora este ha sido el ano mas dificil . Placy ha tenido problemas de salud. Hace ocho anos  le diagnosticaron Sindrome antifosfolido, tal vez esta fue la causa por la que perdimos a nuestro bebe Nicholas hace algunos meses. Y ahora encontraron otra enfermedad autoinmune, Enfermedad  Mixta del Tejido Conectivo (lo que explica el que siempre tiene dolor en alguna parte del cuerpo). Ademas cuando fue a una evaluacion con el oculista, encontro que posiblemente tiene glaucoma.
 Ya hace 3 semanas que esta tomando medicamentos, pero va a llevar varias semanas para notar una diferencia en su salud.

Nuestros ninos estan bien, Logan acaba de cumplir 8 anos, esta en 2 de primaria y su pasion es el futbol, juega un partido cada fin de semana. Isabella va a cumplir 7 anos, esta en 1 de primaria, lee y escribe muy bien y le encanta dibujar y hacer preguntas de la Biblia que me hacen rascarme la cabeza? Alejandra tiene 3 anos y medio, es el alma de la fiesta a donde quiera que vamos, siempre anda vestida de princesa o de bailarina y odia los pantalones.
Y yo, continuo levantando el sostenimiento para regresar a Queretaro, Mexico, a menos que Dios nos muestre algo diferente.

COMO PUEDEN AYUDARNOS?

Cosideren orar por nosotros por un mes completo. Sabemos que oran por nosotros.Pero les estamos pidiendo un compromiso para orar por un mes de una manera especial.
Por favor oren para que Dios nos abra el camino por donde debemos ir.

  • Oren para que Dios sane a Placy(si es Su voluntad), y  le de la fortaleza para cada dia.

  • Oren para que Dios me de la sabiduria para ver  nuestra senda y escuchar Su llamado.
  • Oren por nuestro sostenimiento, mucha gente en E.U ha perdido sus trabajos, y eso tambien afecta las ofrendas para los misioneros.

DIOS Les Bendiga,

Los Fox
