Debriefing!

Well we made it safely back to California!  Our mission team of 43 is now showered and well rested.  Before boarding the plane in about 3 hours, we will spend some time debfriefing and sharing how the past week has impacted our lives.  We spent the past five days leading Vacation Bible School, Adult Bible classes, and sports ministries at churches in three Mexicali villages.  We also spent one afternoon painting the interior of a house that was built last week by another Michigan team, and leading evening worship services at each of the churches where we served.  Many of our students were also able to spend a day ministering at a prison.  Every day, there were many “God-sightings.”  Our days started and ended with chapel at our camp, Tent City.  Each of us feels blessed to have been able to be a part of this mission.  We ask for your prayers for safe travel home, and look forward to sharing our stories with you on Saturday evening at the 6pm worship service.

See you all soon!
