Friday,
April 1
st was the first day of Uturn Jr.
High's
Mexico Mission trip for 2011.
It all started at 9
am as
we met at the airport for check-
in,
team photos,
prayer,
and security checks.
After enjoying some tasty airport cuisine we boarded the plane and made our way to San Diego.
When we arrived at San Diego
we met up with Hope Chapel Rosarito's
pastors, Don
and Sandy Godwin.
Before we crossed the border into Mexico we stopped by In-n-
Out for a
quick and yummy dinner.
After getting into Mexico we made our way to our rental home and settled in for the week of ministry.
Later that evening we joined the Godwins in attending a
game of futbol rapido (
indoor soccer).
It was awesome to find out that Hope Chapel Rosarito has
been sponsoring one team and attending their weekly games.
They not only show up and enjoy the game,
but they bring bottled waters for halftime and offer conversation and prayer after the game with the players.
Over the three years that they've
been supporting and loving this team they've
seen some of the players dedicate their lives to Christ.
Their futbol ministry is a prime
example to our team of spreading the gospel of Christ through building friendships and showing the unconditional love of God.
It is hard to believe that our team is finally here in Mexico already.
After months of preparation and hard work,
God has
safely brought us here to do
His work and expand His Kingdom;
and we are
just thankful for the opportunities He's
giving us.
Please Keep us in your Prayers:
-for boldness as we go into a community to do an outreach on Saturday
-for physical healing for some of our teammates feeling a bit sick
AWESOME!!
