Uturn JH 2011 Mexico Team

Each year Uturn Jr. High sends a team of JH students and adults down to Rosarito, Mexico to partner with Hope Chapel Rosarito. During our time down there we will be performing a pantomime drama, putting on a puppet show and interactive story, we'll be participating in maintenance projects around the church, and ultimately sharing our faith in Jesus with the community. Mother Teresa once said, "its not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing." This quote truly captures our heart for this trip. Our goal is so much more than completely tasks, our purpose for this trip is to make the unconditional love of God visible. This team has been diligently preparing, praying, and saving money since January and they are ready to hit the ground running when we arrive Friday afternoon. Thank you to everyone who has helped support this trip financially and prayfully. Throughout the trip you can check back on this site and read updates and see pictures of everything we're doing.

Unplugged Challenge

March 27th thru April 8th


Join the Jr. High Mexico team in giving up technology for just under two weeks. In order to be better mentally and spiritually prepared for our time in Mexico, our team has committed to turning off the many distractions around them and spending more time with Jesus. We recognize that there are so many different ways we can become distracted from pursuing Jesus so we're taking some time to intentionally seek Him.

What we're saying NO to:

TV

Movies

Videogames

Facebook/Twitter

Magazines and recreational reading

Internet for entertainment purposes

Music/Radio/iPods

What we're saying YES to:

Praying for the mission trip

Studying the Bible

Journaling

Personal times of worshipping through songs

Listening to God

Spending quality time with family

Hopefully you will join us in making this sacrifice. I guarantee it will change your life because you'll find yourself consistently saying Yes to God and creating opportunities to connect with Him.
