An incredible opportunity

We received a phone call this evening from a man in our church. He told us there was a last minute cancelation for the weeklong missions trip to the Mexican Indian Training Center in Cordoba, Veracruz in southern Mexico. He offered for any member of our family to go on this trip free of charge. Due to work commitments, Tami, Michael and I cannot go. However, Abby has no work commitments at the moment and has excitedly agreed to go. What an incredible opportunity this is. She will travel with a well-trained church team to minister to and help some poverty stricken people in the area. Abby will be part of the team conducting the Vacation Bible School. She is so excited. She is just about ready to jump out of her skin. I am proud of Abby for wanting to serve the Mexican people and for her willingness to give up part of her summer to help people who have so much less than she does. The people who have gone in years past have come back with amazing and incredible accounts of their time there. I know this will be a real life experience for Abby. I cannot wait to tell you all about it. She leaves this Saturday, July 13th (2 days after her 16th birthday) and will return on Saturday, July 20 (Our 22nd wedding anniversary).

Please pray for Abby and the entire team. Pray for their safety, pray the Lord's work will be accomplished. Most of all pray that God will be glorified in all the team does.

The Mexican Indian Training Center is located at the black dot (the one on the land, not in the Gulf of Mexico).
