Report from Latest Mexico Missions Trip
0 CommentsA total of 17 members from Covenant Life recently participated in a week-long trip to Guadalupe, Mexico, to serve at the Rancho 3M orphanage led by Dean Adamek. The purpose of this trip was to continue construction work on a baby home that our church has generously funded. The hope is to have the baby home completed by the fall of 2011 so that it will be able to receive and care for abandoned babies in the region.
This was an outstanding group of servants who worked several days in 100+ degree heat. We framed out all of the interior walls, ran all of the electrical wiring, installed the soffit under the porch which encircles the building, painted the entire exterior, and stained the deck.
While we were there, Dean and Carlos Contreras (the senior pastor from our sister church in Juárez) hosted a gathering of leaders from numerous churches to give them vision for sending teams to serve at the ranch. Due to the violence in that region, most churches have understandably decided to hold on sending teams. Our group along with one other team from Charlotte were the only two teams coming this summer. Normally the summer is packed with teams.
Dean mentioned how significant it was to have these leaders see our team there serving and felt it was an encouragement for many of them to begin sending teams again. Lord willing, we would like to send two teams back this coming fall, probably sometime in October. We will keep you posted about plans.
God was so kind in keeping the team safe from any violence related to the drug cartels. However, a couple members of our team sustained injuries. Dave Mayo, while seeking to steady a large piece of machinery that was falling over, broke his ankle and hurt his back; he is in quite a bit of pain still. And Van Van Orsdel needed a number of stitches after hitting his head on the corner of a low-hanging soffit. Please pray that these men would quickly heal.
Lastly, please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters at the orphanage, that God would continue to protect them and that the gospel work would prosper.
With gratefulness,
