And We're Off!!!

Hey team, Johnny here and MEXIC08 is off and running! We have an amazing team! We have amazing leaders! God has called us to do something amazing!

In a few short months we will all be jumping on a plane together and heading south of the border! Students from Penn, Mishawaka, Jimtown, New Prairie and more. There are freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors. There are long term mission veterans and there are first timers. How on Earth is this team all brought together? Because God has changed each of our lives and has set MEXIC08 in front of all of us as our next step!

Have you started praying for the team yet? Have you started praying for those down in Monterrey that we will be serving? Have you started reading Acts 13-28? Let's dive in together! Let's engage this ENTIRE process from first meeting to the very end! We've started diving in and will open up the discussion soon!

If you missed the first meeting, it is very important that you get caught up on what's going on. If you missed the first meeting then you likely don't even know about the blog, which means if you know someone who is going to Mexico but missed the first meeting, then make sure they read this post!

If you missed the first meeting, you need to stop by the student ministries office and pick up what you missed. You will need to pick up a folder which includes your journal and pen, 2 sample mission support letters as well as donor contribution forms and return address labels for your support to come directly to GCC. I'll be posting the cliff notes on how to write the whole support letter soon.

Also if you need more donor contribution forms or return labels those are now printed and available up there!

And now I leave you with a little training in Spanish...

Donde est el banos? (That means "Where are the bathrooms?" a very important phrase to know)
