EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS! JUST BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND   This newsletter will be different from others. You will see how God acts in relevant ways, in daily life even during these difficult times to further His Kingdom on earth. The Scripture says “WHAT NO EYE HAS SEEN, WHAT NO EAR HAS HEARD, AND WHAT NO HUMAN MIND HAS CONCEIVED” — THE THINGS GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." (1 Corinthians 2:9) In 2018, I felt a PRESSING DESIRE in my heart to reach tens of millions through a single radio station and Mexico City came to mind; from that moment of revelation, I devoted time and effort to discern if this feeling came from God and in that process I thought about the place that the Virgin Mary chose to show Her Son to us all at the hill of Tepeyac some 500 years ago. I asked the Morenita (a Mexican term of endearment applied to the Virgin Mary) if She agreed with my desire of taking Her Son to each heart through radio waves or, perhaps, more appropriately Heavenly waves in Mexico City. At the same time, I was praying for confirmation from the Father and Son on this desire; was this my selfish desire or from "above", Heavenly Desire? Here, I will make this very long and complicated story short, though I will let you know all the details in the near future.

Despite the fact that we did not have any money, we were certainly rich in FAITH! A few months later, on a mission to Guadalajara, to conduct a Metanoia event, I met with a group of benefactors that had supported ESNE in this city from the beginning. I explained to them my desire to have a radio station in Mexico City. I could see that they were both surprised by and deeply interested in the possibility. Within a few days, we started receiving some offers for stations in the range of 5 to 7 million USD. ESNE’s finance team was concerned by this amount; where could we get this kind of money if we could hardly make ends meet now? They were right, but I kept on insisting based on Faith! For a moment, I thought that maybe God would touch the heart of a Mexican benefactor wishing to contribute greatly to this project. The project was presented to some business people, of which some showed interest in supporting it later on just not now, but I had offers now. We met a group of Catholics owners of a number of radio stations who offered to sell the 1260 AM station for several million dollars. Although we had absolutely no financial support yet, negotiations continued until the outbreak of the pandemic. At…
