Greetings from Mexico. God has been doing some great things. Our VBS team reports 4 children have made decisions to follow Christ. The VBS team(s) actually did two sessions this morning: one in Las Lomas (Genesis Church) and one in Los Bajos (Maranatha Church). For those who worked in the Australian themed VBS this year, we are singing the same songs but with a Mexican accent!
The Basketball Clinic has been absolutely amazing. I am not the best one with numbers, but each morning there have been a great number of girls in our two clinics (9 to noon) and the boys crowd in to two locations, also, in the afternoon. Today, we close that portion of the ministry with the boys in Los Bajos. According to the mayor, there were 145 who showed up for the afternoon.
One of the things that has come out of this clinic is the connection being built with town leaders. We had lunch with the mayor and vice mayor this afternoon. They both commented on how they have had tournaments or leagues in the past, but it is always about competition and who can beat the other team. The mayor sees his community coming together: parents from different teams and players are sitting and talking and that is very positive. This part of
Mexico depends heavily on tourism. The trials and tribulations that are hitting Mexico have taken a toll. We are happy to be part of the solution.
The heat has been rough. The past two days it has been 97 or 98, but it is a wet heat. I will take Phoenix at 110, any day… preferably in AC. I think that all of our team members are sleeping in AC to one extent or another. Team health is generally very good. The food has been enjoyed by everyone.
That is all for now. Thank you for your continued prayers.
