Mexico Missions Week


Hi Everyone,


We just wanted to share with you some of the pictures from Missions Week when we went to La Gloria, Mexico with the Calvary Chapel Christian School kids. We also would like to tell you a little bit about what the Lord did each day.

Day 1- The team worked on a tire wall to reinforce the hillside against landslides to protect the home and family of a local woman, named Carmen. While constructing the tire wall, some of the girls got the opportunity to play with Carmen's children and to learn to how to make a traditional Mexican Meal(yum! Homemade tortillas!).

Day 2- The team went on a scavenger hunt in a local Mexican Supermarket. They were given a list of items in Spanish and were only allowed to ask the locals for help to find the items. It was so much fun!


That night we all participated in a Bible study that takes place at the base weekly. The Calvary Chapel kids presented a drama and some puppet shows for the children and parents attending the study. Afterward, they were able to give the items they had collected on the scavenger hunt to a few local families while playing with the kids.



Day 3-The team set out early to serve at a bathing clinic held by Spectrum Ministries, in Tijuana. At the clinic, local boys were able to get baths and new clothes, and little girls were able to get their hair and feet washed, and new clothes as well. Parents were able to get fresh vegetables, and there were haircuts for all. We got to help with the bathing, as well as face painting and playing games with the kids (they are really good at soccer).


Day 4-In the morning we worked on the base, helping to construct the beginning phases of a basketball court, as well as planted flowers and weeded. In the afternoon, each team member was assigned a child from the after school program, and we all went to a museum and a 3D movie! For some of the children, it was their first movie theater experience ever! It was such a blessing to have one on one time with all the sweet kids.

The trip was such a blessing! It was awesome to see the high school kids minister and even see our new home-to-be. We look forward to sending you more pictures after we officially move on March 24th!

We can hardly believe we're moving in less than 2 weeks; praise God for His faithfulness!


We love you all, thank you so much for your prayer and support. Hopefully we'll get to see some of you tonight at our commissioning at Calvary Chapel Spring Valley.


Talk to you soon! Please email us with any questions or prayer requests.

Love and God Bless,
Brennan and Angelina
