Dulce is the only female on our trip to Chiapas. She is
the Family Ministries Director at First Baptist Church, Colorado Springs. Some
people asked, “How does this fit in your ministry?” This was a particularly difficult
time for her to leave her responsibilities in Colorado for a mission trip. She has work to do for classes at Denver
Seminary. Her pastor is having some health concerns. And, Easter is coming.
I wish you could see Dulce. She is connecting,
translating, laughing, and serving. The four guys from ABCRM on the trip are completely dependent
on her willingness to serve.
At the seminary here in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, there
are a number of young women. These women have few role models in ministry. For
them to see Dulce as a (the) key part of our team is huge. She is a young
female in ministry. She is a seminary student. She is a person of Mexican
descent who cares about them as indigenous (Mayan) people.
This week, Dulce is serving as your missionary to
Chiapas. FBC Colorado Springs, thank you for sharing her with us. Thank you for
sending her as your missionary to Chiapas.
Dulce, thank you for your willingness to serve and be used
by God.

Thanks for the post, Mike. I am going to enjoy keeping up with all your experiences. Want you to know that I had no doubt that Dulce would be a great addition to your team this year...I think she is a "keeper". Give all my love and know you are in my prayers.
Love, Robin Chapman
Thank you for posting an update. I have to agree with Robin's comment about my sister-she is pretty amazing and I know her heart for serving. Praying for protection over the team as well for those who are being ministered to. Blessings-Izma Waisner
