In partnership with Baja Bound Ministries and Pastor John Rose of Rancho Vista Church, Youth Journey will be leading a Missions Trip down to Baja, Mexico this holiday season! MARK YOUR CALENDARS and join the team, because YOU ARE NEEDED!
* MARK YOUR CALENDARS - From Sunday afternoon, December 28th 2008 through Friday evening, January 2nd 2009, we're taking youths, families and friends down to Baja Mexico to build at least one house for families in desperate need!
* Photos from Joan and I's overnight preview trip back on July 17th can be seen at http://www.youthjourney.org/. Check out the Snapfish gallery links.
SEE A NEED, FILL A NEED...
Brothers & sisters... the time is NOW! We met a family of 11 children (all under the age of 12) and 3 adults with only one working father making $10 US per week to support them all, that has no home. The shelter where they were staying is now in use by the owner, and they have no shelter. Our mission is to fill this need with the love of Christ! We'll do this as we...
* Raise money to buy all the materials needed for a new home!
* Get down there, and build the new home to completion!
* Teach the children Vocational Bible School at the local orphanage!
* Perform construction, repairs, cleanup and more for the Children's Home!
We need to raise over $10,000 for all the materials and to make this trip happen for a group of 25, but God willing, I want to see us make arrangements for the maximum of 55 servants willing to give unconditional love and support to those in need! That would put our costs to raise over $20,000.00 but have no fear, the Lord will provide. All He asks of you, is to say "YES!" Let's flood the area with Christ's awesome power... and show the world what love can do!
Full details are on the way... for now, on this blog, add your voices! Join in and RSVP. Start getting your passports together and mark your calendars! These people need you! This New Year's Eve, celebrate with us, by shooting fireworks of grace and faith from the rooftop of a brand new home, for a desperate family... GIVE YOURSELF AWAY this holiday season!
RSVP now! Ask Questions... get involved... JUST DO IT!
