Mexico prayer letter.

I went to mexico this past week, and here is the prayer letter that I sent out to the Church prior to the trip. I will write about the trip soon!

Hello Family!


I am so excited to tell you more of what God is doing in my neck of the woods. I have the wonderful opportunity, along with some other leaders at my church (Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, CA www.cornerstonesimi.com ), to take a group of high school students to Mexico on a mission trip. We are leaving today and we will return on Friday.  We are driving down to Tijuana, Mexico for two reasons:


Reason number one: We are going to be God’s hands to his children in Tijuana who are in need of a better living situation. We will build one living structure each day. We are going to put up four walls and a roof, trusting that God will turn those shelters into homes. 


Reason number two: To mobilize the hearts of the students that we are bringing down there. More than 40% of the world has no access to the Gospel. They do not have anybody or any literature in their language that will lead them to the knowledge of the one true God. While the people of Tijuana have plenty of access to God and his Word, we will be using the change of culture and the third-world environment to teach the students about the need for the Gospel all over the world. 


In Matthew 9:37, Jesus says that there are many people who are ready to hear about Him, but there are very few people who will go and share His love with them. Please pray that the students who are going this week will understand God’s heart for the world and give their lives to spreading the love of God to the unreached. 


Thank you for your prayers!
