Teen Mission Trip

Well, it's only a couple of more days and God willing our team from Denbigh will be in Mexico on the Baja Peninsula. We got a scare a few days ago when we heard it was well over 100 degrees but it looks like the temp is back down to normal. For those that do not know about the City of Children in Ensenada it is a refuge for Mexican children who have either been abused, abandoned, or neglected. Their stories are all sad but they now reside in a place that is filled with Christian love and acceptance. Every child’s future is changed for the better because of the dedication of the staff to meeting their needs physically, educationally, emotionally, and most of all SPIRITUALLY. This place is living out the life of Jesus and his love for children. Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 (NIV) "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Our plan is to meet up in San Diego with a group coming from Washington, Pennsylvania and another small group from Winchester, VA. on Friday. After spending the night in the Quality Inn we will head on down to Ensenada on Saturday and begin our mission to provide friendship, support and assistance both at the City of Children and the local churches. We will stay through the following Friday and then head back to the states and on home. It makes for an exhausting week but everyone who goes will have a memory to last a lifetime and will make a difference not only in the lives of those we come in contact with but also with one another.

Some questions for you to respond to...Have you ever gone on a mission trip? Why or why not? If so, how did it impact your life and relationship with God? Were there any scary moments for you while you were away from home? Would you consider going again?
