Wow, Where did 2009 go?
Matt. 24:22 If these days of trouble were left to run their course, nobody would make it. But on account of God’s chosen people, the days will be cut short.
We may not be living in this time as of yet, (or maybe we are) but we sure can see it from here. The light is brighter and brighter at the end of the tunnel. The signs are all around. One world government is on the agenda of every world leader. It seems we are sliding ever so closer to the end time events.
We can hear the encouraging words of Jesus, “lift up your heads, for your salvation draws nigh”. We are to be encourage, to believe His Word, to have a intimate relationship with Him and to look at the Harvest for the fields are white unto harvest.
This year has been full of ministry. Our final womens conference in Puerto Escondido Mexico was a grand success. But after 10 years God has spoken to us to turn our focus on the youth. In February we will hold our first YOUNG WOMENS conference dedicated to reaching out to young women ages 13 to 25. It’s called “momentum.” We have rented the Oaxaca convention center in Oaxaca, Mexico. It seats 3000. We plan to pack it out with young unsaved women from that region of Mexico. Two main area of focus in these meetings:
1) Evangelism, to reach these young women in as many junior high’s, high school’s and universities as we can, and
2) to disciple our young ones. To teach them how to live a fulfilled and purpose full life in God.
Our invitations to speak in Central America have become numerous. We were privileged to hold many pastor and leadership, family and health and youth conferences In Mexico, and Panama.
Mexico, India, Panama, Israel and possibly China are all on our calendar for 2010.
In October, we hosted a group called “The 99.” They are a youth outreach team who travel the USA with a 20,000 square foot air tent. The event shows the 5 leading causes of death among teens in America, and the only answer to the problem, Jesus. We saw 17,000 go through the tent and 3600 accept Jesus as their savior. Through the Outreach Center and many local churches we have initiated follow up and are seeing great results.
Our continued focus is for souls in 2010. More than ever, locally or in the nations we will speak to the heart of man about the new life they can obtain in Jesus and their call to Holy Living. We who call on the name of the Lord must live a life worthy of our calling.
Matt. 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.
This is talking about us Christians, born again people who have believe that Jesus is the son of God.
You can do it. 2010 is the year for change. Our country will change, the church will change. Let our heart change. Let God have his way.
We are trusting God to pay off the new building. We still owe 2.3m. This seems like an enormous amount. But really in the scope of things it isn't. God is on the throne. If he lays on your heart to help please obey.
We are doing our part to reach the lost, disciple the hurting, and bring people to the knowledge of Jesus. Will you help us?
Our website is www.wingsofeagles.net all of our contact information is there and you can donate up to $2000.00 on pay pal. Anything larger, we accept checks.
Smile...
May 2010 be the best year ever for you and your family. May the heart of man turn to God as they see the face of Jesus in US.
Looking to Jesus,
Don and Mariaelena Steiner

Chihuahua Mexico
Mariaelena and I, along with our two boys, Michael and Timothy, recently ministered as a family (a first for us) in a three-day family conference in Parral, Mexico. We have great friends who founded a church there 20 years ago. They also have one of the largest Christian schools in the country.
These were the newspaper headlines at the time…
Drug dealer shootout at Parral Chihuahua Mexico 14 dead ….
We held meetings for men, women, couples and teens, and then for the entire family. The event was advertised and open to the entire community. Many in attendance were not Christians. We witnessed about 100 people give their lives to Jesus during the couples banquet on Saturday night. Praise God!
Our sons contributed during our men's breakfast and teen meetings. We stand firm on the value of the family in society. It is a well known fact that when the family breaks down, the entire society fails.
Marriage is an institution that is intended to last a lifetime. However, selfishness has become the spotlight in our society. The slogan "It's all about you" has become the buzz word in advertizing through our media. This suggests that everything I do has to revolve around me and needs to benefit me. If it doesn't, then forget it. Our self-centered society is ripping families apart, destroying the lives of our children and driving us away from God.
OR IS IT?
Someone once said "Look for an opportunity in everything." The void created by such a selfish lifestyle has forced our youth to become hungry for TRUTH. We must seize this opportunity! It is time for positive role models. It is time for God fearing men and women to go the extra mile and get involved in church youth groups, Boy and Girl Scout troops, after school programs…or what about developing programs of your own that give you the opportunity to speak into the lives of our youth? If we don't...evil will.
It is all about you... what will you do to give yourself to others that will make a difference in our world?

February 4-6, 2009 10th Annual Women's Conference in Mexico
Our 10th annual women’ conference in Puerto Escondido, Mexico was amazing. There were about 1000 in attendance and as usual we feed them three meals a day. That’s just the physical side. What really happened was a spiritual explosion of epic proportion.
Services began Wednesday night and we felt lead of the Lord to not schedule a specific speaker each night, rather we felt to begin the service and wait on the Holy Spirit to lead one of us to take the platform and speak only what we were hearing in our spirit. We went in and out of Worship, with a few speakers voicing what they heard in their spirit. The first night was good, we heard from the Lord, worshiped more and closed.
Thursday began our day sessions of more focused ministry with scheduled breakout sessions. This is where the women get more one on one ministry, where they can be free to share from their heart. Many of these women come just for these breakout sessions.
Thursday night was much like Wednesday night. However, we could since a special presence of the Holy Spirit. The word says, “They who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength…” This was happening. We were waiting on God. Again, no one preached. If God did not show up, we did not want to be there anyway. The worship was strong, the words that came from individuals encouraged our faith, but we knew there was more.
Friday, the last day was different. From the morning sessions to the afternoon we could since a stirring of the Holy Spirit. When the evening session began it started with a shout and then an explosion of the Presence of God. Nothing can describe what happened next, except an incredible move of Gods hand. People were healed instantly, with no one laying hands on them. Women began to dance. Some cried. Everyone worshiped. For more then 4 hours non-stop. Crowds from the streets began to pour into the meeting, just to see what was going on. People got saved, healed, and set free. The miracles just kept coming. God was touching his people. What an outpouring. We heard of many miracles afterward, as people were talking about it for days.
God is not looking for how great we are. He is not looking for what we do for him. He doesn’t care how much education we have, if he does not have our heart. Let me encourage you to wait on God. Isa 40:31 tell us that when we do he “Renews our Strength.” Many of you need to learn the art of Just Waiting on the Holy Spirit. He wants to bring you into the presence of God. Where there is refreshing, forgiveness, and rest. It’s a wonderful life.

Chiria Children’s Home Tuxtepec Mexico
Chiria Children’s Home Tuxtepec Mexico
28 children were waiting with expectation as we brought toys, shoes, and clothing sent by Cornerstone Christian Center in Albany, New York. These children are from broken homes, divorce, or simply abandoned by both parents. One of the greatest needs we have had there is a couple that will serve as directors and serve the children as unto the Lord. We had the joy to bring Corinne and her son Timothy to “spy out the land” as God has placed a desire upon them to run a children’s home some place in the world. This was their first trip here and is now praying for Gods direction as to rather or not this is the place for them.
We were able to see the improvements done to the facilities that partners have paid for and have been long needed. This is the best we have seen the children’s home ever. The home is in good repair; the children look happy and healthy.
Thank you Cornerstone Christian Center for helping these children know the Love of Jesus.
