The Milamex Circle

This time, we’re celebrating a dream come true. Cynthia’s book, *A Faith Made Real*, has finally been published. This has been a project in the making for many years; it’s an invitation to return to our original design. We had previously published the book *40 Days Toward a Faith Made Real*, which features 40 devotionals on the same topic. Here are some testimonials from people who have read it.

We invite you to learn more about the events we held this past July: 12 hours of prayer and worship; a marriage course; the “A la mesa con Intenzion” retreat for families; a screening of the movie Perfect Days; and the support of two students from Wheaton College, who served as managers at Warm Heart.

This month we feature the testimony of María, or Majka, who is from Slovakia. She tells us about her time at Warm Heart. As a Christian, she recognizes the value of having the opportunity to share her faith with the other residents of the Depa.

Today, we introduce you to Regina, a young woman from Germany staying at Warm Heart who tells us about her experience here. We also share Sara Trejo’s story during her 24 years of service with Milamex.

Please keep praying for us! 
Cynthia shares several prayer requests with us: 
•⁠  ⁠That God will continue to guide us amid the challenges we’re facing now with fewer staff members, and that He will continue to show us His will and the direction we should take.
•⁠  ⁠That the Lord will continue to bring backpackers from all over the world to Warm Heart, and that we’ll continue to have wonderful times of fellowship with them.
•⁠  ⁠We will be hosting 4 students from Wheaton this summer for special activities. 
•⁠  ⁠In May and June, choir concerts at various churches and venues. 
•⁠  ⁠The 12-hour prayer and worship gathering in July. 
•⁠  ⁠A 7-session course for couples, from May to July. 
•⁠  ⁠The family retreat in June, hosted by Intenzion, at the end of June. 
•⁠  ⁠We will have more and more in-person activities at our physical space in Coyoacán and at retreats and events, rather than the more digital-focused approach we adopted during the pandemic. 
•⁠  ⁠During the World Cup, for outreach ministries in our country and for the 3 matches we’ll watch in our hall, and for the people we’ll invite.
Finally, Cyn shares a lovely story with us during one of the Shabbats.
Without your support, none of this would be possible. May God continue to use us!

We give thanks to God for the community at Warm Heart and for what the Lord does through the gatherings and conversations He allows us to have there. This two-minute recording is the testimony of Félix, a volunteer from England, who spent his birthday in Mexico and has been blessed by the ministry that God has entrusted to us here in Coyoacán. Thank you for listening and for your constant and faithful support to Milamex!

We are very grateful for two events we had in February at Milamex. First, the presentation of Keila Ochoa's book El aire de Estambul (The Air of Istanbul). Keila brought us closer to the realities of another culture. It was an evening with good food and good company. The second event was the Gala de Belleza, with the theme Empowered in Christ. The participants were filled with this vision and shared their desire to put in practice what they learned that day. Listen to the full story!

In this episode, we share all about our "A la Mesa con Intenzion" retreat, introduce the new book "The Air of Istanbul" by Keila Ochoa Harris, and give you a preview of our upcoming Beauty Gala. Listen now!

We are ending this year with a beautiful season of Asaf's Choir concerts. Andrea tells us about some experiences she lived as a choir member and some testimonies she saw and heard from other people that attended the presentations.
