Blessed to be a Blessing!

I am almost without words for the gratitude I have to be a part of a church who consistantly care for those who are hurting and broken. Yesterday, HPC El Paso served 347 people in Juarez and El Paso. We had a team that went to an orphanage, Emmanuel Ministries, in Juarez to cook lunch and then play with the children. Then half of the team continued on to Plazuela De Acunia and served dinner to the families of that colonia. We also had another team who went to the Rescue Mission in El Paso and fed the homeless a Thanksgiving lunch. Buck and I want to thank you church for not just listening to God's word, but getting out there and making a difference--to be a "healing place for a hurting world."

A little Picasso in the making??

This past week, our little Elise received an honorable mention award in an Art contest at her school. Over three hundred children submitted Art of all forms. She was honored at an assembly at her school and was very proud! Thank goodness she got this talent from Mimi (Buck's mom--who is an artist) and not her mother who still draws stick figures. You go Elise, Mommy and Daddy are very proud.

HP Women's Kickoff!

Last Night was a big night in the life of HPC El Paso. We had the kick-off to our HP Women's ministry. It was so much fun. We had an opportunity to have a "pamper" night and about 30 women got together to have dinner, fellowship, LOTS of pampering, and word spoken into their heart. I feel so blessed to be able to share life with so many incredible women. I count it a privilege to be able to host a night where women from all generations, nationalities and backgrounds could come together and celebrate womanhood. I love you ladies; and look forward to an awesome adventure Living the Dream that God placed on HPC El Paso and all of you wonderful "God Chicks."

God still performs miracles in 2008! My father went and had his post treatment test and we found out that he is now cancer free!! Praise God. This is the second time that he has been completely healed from cancer—that is not a coincidence… That is the power of prayer. There is nothing too big for God. SO if there is something that you are believing God for, hold on. Help is on the way. It’s may not be in our timing—but ALWAYS on time!

Deuteronomy 7:9
"Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His loving kindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments”

This past weekend myself and 5 other beautiful friends of mine went to Baton Rouge to attend the Live the Dream Women's conference. It was awesome! What made it even more special is that I got to share the experience with my mama!! Here are a couple of photo's of the group--and if your wondering why we are standing in from of a "swat team" van... That is what we drove around in all weekend... Anyhow, we got to hear from some of the most annoited women (and man) from around the globe: April Simons, Chris Caine, Delynn Rizzo and Dino Rizzo. We are going to be hosting a "Re-Live the Dream" Recap sometime in November so we can share video from the conference with those who couldn't attend. Come check it out.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition!!!

Today we were so blessed to have Gina Carameros with Sanctuary Ministry come to our house and make it into a cozy home! I wish I had taken before pictures to see the awesome transformations she did to our home! She is absolutely amazing! Take a peek at what she did!

HPC Baptism

This weekend we had our first ever HPC El Paso Baptism! Our oldest daughter, Elise, was the very first person we baptized at the church. It was awesome.

Here are a couple of pictures of the event.

UTEP Outreach

Here are a couple of pictures of the UTEP outreach. We had an opportunity to serve over 300 hot dogs to some hungry Miner fans... and although UTEP lost... our outreach was slammin!

I think my favorite part of being a church is being able to serve the community along side some amazing people!! Of Course, doing church with my amazing husband of 11 years (this weekend) is awesome too!!

A Great Sunday

Great job Sunday! We overcame the rainstorm and a few other obstacles to have a great, great service! We had 7 visitors and we haven't even started yet!! We have some fine tuning to do, but it will all come together next week. When our best effort meets God's favor...a movement begins. Next week in El Paso will be a life-changing moment for us and the entire community. El Paso will never be the same because HPC is here. No matter what happens next week or how many show up, this is the beginning of a long journey as we love this city into The Kingdom. Many of you are fasting now and many more will begin next week. Let's pray for each other, an incredible launch, and most importantly the hurting...


Pray for the single mom struggling to make ends meet. Pray for the widow who misses her husband each night as she goes to bed. Pray for the homeless man that feels rejection each and every day. Pray for the prostitute that is selling her dignity. Pray for the addict that can't seem to quit, although he has tried a thousand times. Pray for the military wife that wonders if she will ever see her husband again. Pray for the poor that cannot afford basic medicine and enough food to feed the family. Pray for our sister church in Plazuela de Acuna and the nine people that gave their lives to Christ over the last two weeks. Pray for the "successful couple" that seem to have it all together on the outside, but are falling apart on the inside.

Pray for us because we are also hurting more than we care to admit and desperatley need God to move in our lives. Most importantly, pray for God Almighty, the creator of the Heavens and Earth. Pray for Jesus Christ who gave up his life so that we may have forgiveness of our sins and the freedom that comes with it. Pray that the Holy Spirit sweeps through this community, that revival comes, and thousands upon thousands come to know the saving grace that only Christ can give!


Esther and I love you guys so much! We are excited to do life together and look forward to the miracles, the challenges, and the opportunity to serve this community with everything we have...this will be our legacy! Let's Reach the World by Serving One.

Sold out,
The Zengerles

Hurricane Gustav

As the news of Hurricane Gustav is getting worse, Buck and I ask that as a community of believers, we come together and pray for Louisiana and the surrounding area. We were there for Hurricane Katrina and saw first hand, the devastation that community suffered just 3 years ago. Many of the HPC campuses will be directly affected by this storm, so lets lift up our brothers and sisters from that area in prayer!

Healing Place Church El Paso got to be part of an international quest to be a servant driven body of Christ. Over 16,000 people from Louisiana, California, Texas, Mexico,and Africa got a touch from Christ this past Saturday. Our team broke out into three groups (Fire/Police Appreciation, Canutillo Back packs and school supply give away, and Mexico Outreach) to touch our community and it was amazing to see the impact that was made right here in our own backyard. Buck and I want to thank everyone who came out to Reach the World by Serving One.
