Tecate, Mexico





What an awesome week of ministry! I spent the last week with three of my kids and a group of young people and adults on a spring break missions trip to Tecate, Mexico. We were hosted by Pastor Eufrazio of Boulevard Baptist Church. Our church has been sending a team down there for the last 7 years to work with Tecate Mission (see their website at www.tecatemission.com). We had two ministries while there. One group, which I helped in, did construction at "Iglesia Christina Bautista" (Christian Baptist Church). We were able to get the roof put on and the first coat of stucco applied to the outside of their new classroom building. I was able to work with Eddie, whose father is the Pastor of "Casa de Dios" (House of God) in Tecate.
It was a real blessing since he speaks great english and my Spanish is minimal. It was interesting to hear first hand of their church planting work in Mexico.
It was a pleasure to see Jessica, Brent, and Dane get involved with the Vacation Bible School that the Bethany team held. They especially liked the worship times at Rincon Baptist Church with Pastor Juan where they held the VBS.
Thank you for praying for us while we were gone; please pray for the Church in Tecate to prosper.
