CCC México Mission Day 5

Today we entered into Mexico with determination. We really wanted to dedicate the house even with the threat of rain, and knew God was pushing us to share Jesus Christ with the family and present the opportunity to accept him as their savior. Well, it did rain. After the vans getting stuck in the mud this morning and having to walk a while (everyone is fine), we ventured back out this afternoon to do the dedication! Sure enough- it started raining as soon as we began. We knew it needed to happen today so we huddled under the porch, and sent the vehicles back to the house knowing we would have to walk back in rain and slippery mud. I am so glad we did because two family members began a new life today with Christ at the end of the dedication: Blanca (mother) and Angel (son). This family not only has a new house, but new brothers and sisters in Christ. Then, we made the mile trek down railroad tracks and in the mud, a few of us falling down, and all of us feeling more blessed that ever to have been able to literally walk in their shoes. We can't wait to spend the day tomorrow. It will be hard for the group to leave, but I feel certain they will come back!

CCC México Mission Day 4

It's getting late, so this one will be mainly pictures. We had an incredible day! The house was completed- seeds have deffinately been planted- and I think it's safe to say that this group is now part of the Mexico family forever! They have fallen in love and have so much passion for the people and especially the family we are building for. I can't wait for them to get home and begin to share everything! 

Dios es amor

CCC México Mission Day 3

We started building the house today and by started, I mean almost finished it! This group is hard working and got a lot done for the family. The kids we are building for are shy but are starting to come around and the mom and grandmother helped us paint and work all day. They didn't just sit back and watch us work. I think that was a cool experience for all of us: to work WITH them not just for them. We wrote scripture in the house and one of our translators read it to the mother (Blanca). I really think that moment was the planting of the seed and I pray that she see Jesus in us and want him in her family too. Tomorrow we will finish the home and also work on a few other projects! Continue to pray with us this week for our safety and in making disciples! 

Dios te bendiga

CCC México Mission Day 2

Today was the group's first day on the canal. Honestly, I don't know what to say about today. I am so proud of this group and they're passion for missions. They are open to what God has in store and I can't wait to hear stories from them throughout the week. They met a lot of kids and have already started making relationships with the people. We also got to meet the family we are building for. They made bracelets, played soccer, jumped on the trampoline, and spread the love of Jesus Christ! Here are some pictures! 

This is the family that we are building for! We can't wait to get to know them this week! 

This is their kitchen and below is where they sleep. This family is going to be so much more comfortable in their new house! 

Continue to pray for us as we begin construction tomorrow morning! Pray that we open our hearts to what God is asking us to do and that we be obedient! 

Dios te bendiga!
