Summary of Mexico Missions Trip

Things have settled down a little, now we are preparing for Middle School Camp.  But before we leave Mexico behind us.  I wanted to give you some pictures and some explanations to help you get a better picture of what we did.

Tuesday Night and Wednesday

Tuesday night was a God night.

Wow, I can't even describe what happened to our students and leaders. The student and college worship team did an amazing job of drawing us into worship. This was followed by a Spirit led talk by Steve Mayer. God moved in a mighty way. Students were crying, adults were giving things to God, and getting right with themselves. The Holy Spirit descended on the place and changed hearts.

Wednesday at noon
We heard the testimony of the Pastor we are building the house for "Romano. " He talked about how God pulled him away from drugs, transporting illegal immigrants and changing his life. Now he is passionate about God and what He will do in this community.

Please continue to pray for students and adults as we wind down. Also pray hard Thursday night (9:00 pm - 12:00 pm your time) as we ask the students to take a huge step of faith.

Thank you for your prayers. God is moving in a mighty way.

Monday and Tuesday in Ensenada

As I watched the teens interacting with the children and families on the sight, I was awed at the interaction and love shown from our students and the children. God has been doing exciting things with the families, and the people in this area. I hope that the momentum will continue and grow even more.

First day:

Time to put up the walls and get out the hammers. All the students had opportunities to swing hammers, use power tools and much more.

Second day:

More walls, painting the sides, and cutting out the windows happened today. The college team was excited as they laid the roof and had a opportunity to get shade in the house.
