Mexicans Reaching Mexicans

After two years of preparation a team of 17 from the Manantial de Vida church in Nogales, Mexico went to the opposite corner of their country, to a distinct culture to serve a church in the Mayan community of Ticul, Yucatán. They faced a steamy, jungle climate, new foods and even the typical illnesses mission teams get. The mission was accomplished! Bonds of friendship forged, bathrooms for the church built, and a strengthened relationship between the Ticul church and the city leaders.

Why is this significant? Because it was totally led and funded by the Mexican church. There have been other smaller outreaches, but this is the first project of this scale.

We praise God with our friends in Nog
ales that He allowed them to have this cross-cultural experience!

Thanks, Betsy Crawford, for sharing this news with us!
