GENERATION TO GENERATION
Summers are always an extremely busy time for Mexico Outreach. While there is no way to report all that occurred this summer, we wanted to share with you some highlights.
June and July were nonstop with the construction of a widow’s house and six church buildings throughout various parts of Chiapas. Other ministry outreach endeavors included a basketball camp, lots of children’s ministry, Chenalho VBS, shoes, Bibles, beans and rice distribution, a medical campaign and much more. We thank each team member, team leader, and those who raised the funds and sponsored the projects.
There are not enough words to express our appreciation to Carlos Perez, Luis Pinto and his wife, Berenice. With wisdom and youthful energy, they were able to host all our teams with or without us being present. God has raised up the next generation to carry forth His kingdom. We are so grateful!
The dental and medical teams who have served the people of Mexico for many years also experienced the next generation working alongside of them. Three dental students (Upper), who are at various levels in their studies, joined the July campaign under the guidance of Dr. Nichols and Dr. Kym. Also a team member, who has been on many previous trips, returned as Dr. Emily (Lower) and assisted Dr. Lulu and Dr. Joe.
How marvelous to see God’s signs and His mighty wonders! His kingdom is everlasting, and you are a part of making that happen in Mexico as we raise up the next generation.
You can also follow us at The Mexico Outreach on Facebook for ministry updates and interesting events.
