NW Mission Team Travels to Juarez Mexico

 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts --Acts 2:42-46

 

As you know, a team of 25 traveled to Juarez Mexico to be the hands and feet of Jesus to that community. 11 of its members were from the Spokane Christian Church, some also came from Boise Idaho, Ashland Oregon and Seattle WA.

 

God used all of us to build a home for a family that was literally homeless; Lucio and David.  The conditions were extreme, poverty was all around us, it was very hot and we were thrust out of our comfort zones.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You would be so proud of those that went as they represented Christ in an amazing way, we went without taking a shower for the entire time while we were down in Juarez, we all slept in one room, and spent time together 24/7.  We lived with each other, worked with each other, shared scriptures with each other, cried with each other, laughed and prayed together. ate together....tho the conditions were extreme...the team from the NW was full of joy, full of love and sacrifice.  Ego's were laid down and needs were met, as team members literally became the hands and feet of Christ.  

 

 

 

 

It was God that moved among us!  I'm fully persuaded that spiritual dreams+diligent prayer+faithful action= Victory in Christ.  The trip for 2009 is already set...July 18-25, 2009. Thank you for your prayers and support.  We are extremely grateful for your love.
