,
Thanks for your grace & patience in updates as connectivity is not quite the same in Mexico :)
What a DAY the team had as they divided and conquered via 4 different teams and churches to minister to the people of Mexico.
Village #1 led by Greg Uhrig got to serve the children of their church from start to finish. First, they got to go into the neighborhoods and invite kids to a day of fun at the church. Their efforts were successful as 40+ came. The group got to put YEARS of what they've done back at Saddleback into action as they taught 4 KSG lessons throughout the day filled with crafts, games, fun and faith. Well done, Village #1
Village #2 led by Kevin Walsh got to do ministry perfectly shaped for their team dynamic of who we call "the soccer boys". They too worked with kids from and around the church in children's ministry lessons but OF COURSE there was a soccer field right across the street where football was a must happen that tied into the day's lessons. The team also got to help the church in SK's #1 value of safety & security as they helped complete a staircase railing. The pastor had been praying for the hands to complete this project to ensure it is safe for the children going up and down stairs at church.
Village #3 led by Scott Santos engaged in a weekly ministry of Pastor Joaquin's church. They reached out in the local community, just as Village #1, to invite children to the day's fun. And what a great job they did! Special shout out to Timothy Clowers as he brought a powerful testimony, questions to follow-up and boldly asked if the children too wanted to know Christ. And 7 children responded that they did not know Jesus but were ready to make that decision today (Saturday)! Woohoo!
Finally, Village #4 led by Mickey Long demonstrated the greatest flexibility and willingness to go wherever and do whatever. They started the day working with children who were attending the women's Bible study alongside their mamas. It was a great partnership with the local church as the team supported them in their children's ministry and taught them some new lessons and ways to reach the children. The afternoon was a work project back at the ranch. The team worked extremely hard in the heat doing a great job meeting the needs of our hosts.
The villages are now off for a morning of church. They are dressed to the best and ready for another full day of ministry. Continue to pray for energy, excitement and the Spirit to move in mighty ways!
