[2018 Mexico Family Mission] Day 1 > 선교 일지

• 목록

Today is the D-Day for this year's Mexico Family Mission team.  This year's team consists of 25 youth and 6 adults that have committed to spend a week in Ensenada, Mexico where they will be building a house for the Gonzalez Curiel Family and VBS to a local church.

 

The team gathered at church at 5am to start loading up the 4 cars that will be travelling 560 miles today.  At 6am, we held a short Sunday Worship given by Pastor Son and a send-off prayer.

Our first stop was at Harris Ranch.

 

Then stopped for lunch at In-n-out burger near Magic Mountain...earlier than planned as the kids were getting hungry.

 

Then we drove 3 straight hours to San Ysidro, right before the Mexico border crossing to fill up on gas and take potty break.  Kids were keeping themselves busy at every opportunity ;)

 

Then we proceeded to cross the International Border into Mexico at Tijuana.

 

 

 

We drove another 2 hours to Yugo Ensenada Campus.  Yay, we made it safely!

 

After arrival, we held introductory meeting with Gonzalez Curiel Family and Yugo staff members.

After the introduction, dinner was served....photos of some of our youth waiting in line for the food.

 

 

 

Dinner - bistek taco with beans and tortilla and salad ;)

 

After dinner, we headed to an awesome praise and worship.

 

After the worship with Yugo, we gathered for 2nd round worship with just us.

 

...Split into 2 groups to share thanks and prayer request.

 

 

We closed the day by heading to our rooms to unpack and get washed up. 

 

Thank you very much everyone for your prayers.  We arrived safely without any issues.  God was surely with us through the 12 hour drive as you can see from the faces of all the youth and adults.  Tomorrow, we will be starting our VBS and Construction ministry.  Please continue to pray for team's unity, that every team members will have personal encounters with God in this mission trip, and for their safety until we return to NCBC.
