Only 4.5 days left!

The date for departure is zooming up at us (January 29th!), and we are all packing like mad. Well, some of us leave the packing to the last minute, which can be exhilarating....in a crazy way. I know a lot of us are nervous, and very excited. If you would like to pray for us, here are a few prayer requests.

• Prayer for safe travels while flying to and from Oaxaca and safe travels while driving in Oaxaca .
• Prayer for the team’s health during our stay.
• Prayer for unity and love in the midst of the team.
• Prayer that God’s love would be shown to the people of Oaxaca in everything we do and say, no matter how small the act.
• Prayer for the families of Oaxaca that they would be open to receiving and following Christ.
• Prayer for the local churches and their ministries in Oaxaca .
  
  

I also have an update on our project. It has changed somewhat from what our original project was, but we are still helping the community the same. From what I understand, we were placed on this project because this is a much higher need currently.

We will be ministering in the Vicente Guerrero II community about 45 min. outside of Ciudad de Oaxaca. The community church is a Bible House built by MTI (Medical Team International) volunteers.
We will work daily with the local pastor, 2 Manos de Vida staff and 2 other local volunteers to repair homes for families in need. We will visit other families to pray with them. The families that we visit and help will receive a food basket and Bible along with needed items for family members. On Thursday after we finish our work we will travel to the Lomas de San Juan Bible Club (last year’s work site) and help with doing a program for over 60 children. We will end Friday with doing a Bible Club program for the mothers and children of the Vicente Guerrero II community.
