Mexico...HERE WE COME!!!

21 people (mostly from Metamora and Germantown Hills) are leaving for Juarez, Mexico on Thursday, June 22.  We’ll be driving for 2 ½ days to get there.  Once we’re there, we’ll be joining others to form a team of about 40 people to spend 7 full days in Juarez.  We’ll be helping with the construction of a park that a church uses for ministry.  We’ll be putting on Vacation Bible School (or “escuala de biblia”) for little kids.  I think we might play some soccer and basketball with teenagers.  I’m guessing that they will be much better than us in soccer.  Kids love soccer in Mexico and they play all the time!! 

Anyways, please pray for us.  Pray that God would allow us to see Mexicans with His heart and through His eyes.  Pray that each of the participants would be personally challenged to go deeper with Christ than every before.  Pray for effective ministry with kids through VBS.  Pray that many seeds of the Gospel would be sown through words and actions…that many might come to know and live for Christ as a result of this trip.  Pray for safe travel.  Pray for team unity.  Pray for Christ to receive the honor and glory that He is worthy of through this trip.  We return on July 3^rd.  We’ll be tired physically, but I’m sure we’ll be closer to Jesus.  Thanks for taking the journey with us by praying for us.
