Tijuana

Chris and I spent last week in Tijuana, Mexico with 43 AMAZING students and leaders from Haven. We stayed at the Cristo Arca de Salvacion church, where they had several classrooms we could sleep in, although many chose to sleep out on the roof!!

We spent the week working with Scott and Marcia Geurink and their family, who are missionaries in Tijuana. About half of the group worked at Dios Viviente, where we did a VBS in the morning and painted the church in the afternoons. By the end of the week we had about 130 children who attended VBS, and we all fell in love with them! The other half of the group worked at a new church, Agua Viva (Living Water), doing various projects such as drywalling and painting the sanctuary, mixing and laying cement, tiling the parsonage, and putting up a fence.

We could really feel God with us in Tijuana this week in many different ways: the smiles on the faces of the children, and the pure joy that they have; keeping us all safe and healthy throughout the week; the men at the rehab center singing their hearts out to God; the lessons we can learn from the people there who have literally nothing, but are still willing to give, and do it joyfully.

Thats a very brief overview of the week... I'll also post a few stories from the week and some pictures!

May the Lord make your love increase & overflow for eachother and for everyone else.
