Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

We're on our way....


Eight months of planning and prayer coming to fruition... We're one our way. Two churches,, one mission, to share God's love and grace to the people of Mexico.

We left at 6:30 this morning 2 vans packed to the hilt. A roomful of supplies, 18 people, all our luggage, 2 bicycles a seeming impossible mountain of stuff somehow miraculously packed into the vans.

We held our breaths and prayed a silent prayer, all 5 vans were pulled into the  secondary check at the border. Would they confiscate our precious cargo. Fortunately, she checked then motioned each van through. Praise God we went into Mexico, everything intact!

A stop for lunch at Costco in Ensenada then off to Vicente Guerrero. We arrived at 4:30. Steve Yoshimi, then later Kathy, his wife were here to greet us. Steve gave us a briefing of IDT, the area and the people.

Then off to Quesa Tacos for dinner. ..absolutely delicious. After eating his first of seven tacos, Will said he now understood why I had so many exploratory mission to Vicente Guerrero.  Later, Brian agreed. I am now confident that I will never lack volunteers to accompany me on any future exploratory mission.

165 tacos later, between LAH & WPC (I told you they were good) we finished the day, first with small group prayer with WPC and then sharing the letter of support from Brian and Sarah. Thank You.

I'd like to close with a heartfelt thank you to all my brother and sisters at LAH and others for your support. It has been an incredible experience to witness first hand the spirit and generosity of not only our church but also from our friends and colleagues in the community.
