Team, this is becomming something absolutely amazing! Just found out about some team members of Younglife that want to join the team, as well as some very good friends from SBPC in Torrance! One gentleman has offered to pay for an entire house that we can build! WOW!
So as God leads us, we want to extend His blessings and grace and work with what He provides! I am talking to Baja Bound about building 2 homes while we are down there, and let's all pray about this and find out what God will do!
This has been a very humbling time of praising God, as He continually reminds us that our plans, our hopes, and our very dreams are all in His glorious hands. He's going to make this missions trip everything it can be, to His ultimate glory! All we have to do is stand firm in the faith, and fight off the fiery arrows from the evil one as we prepare to follow the path (Read Ephesians 6:10-18). The enemy will try to confuse us, scare us, trap us and diffuse the fire in our hearts... and we want to be there for one another in prayer and in heart as we lift one another up and remind each other exactly what we're doing!
Our team so far:
Anna, Markus, Megan, Samantha, Kirstie, Benny, Matt, Kylie, Wydarius, Anton, Charles, Taylor, Julian, Elliot, Kennedy, Justin, Wayne, Marguerite, Joan, Pam, Lee, Dean, Monica, Brian, Amy, Trini, Heather, Heather's buddy, Dave, John, Pastor Sunny, Mary, Vincent, Shalon, Roland, Precious, Pastor Mike and myself! Several others including the SBPC youth not yet named here until 100% confirmations are in place! But our TEAM IS GROWING and God is in control! 38 and counting...
Blessings to you! KEEP PRAYING!

New Team Members, big Donation!!!
Hey Everyone,
I spent Friday night at SBPC serving their Younglife of South Bay youth group with the volunteer team that I've known and been very close with! They are always an inspiration, and I had the blessing of sharing our Missions Trip and extending an invitation to their youth! And I'm humbled and in awe, once again of God's wonder and glory as the excitement was immediate! I'm so happy to have the hope of having Pastor Sunny's entire family join us (I'm praying like crazy!) and several more of the youth!
In addition, a miracle just fell into our laps! We received a huge donation that covers our October payment and once again... momentum is building! God is too good... We've raised over $10,000.00 so far, and we still have a ways to go, but what a fantastic way to get things rolling! Finish and send out your support letters right away! Your supporters are needed!
An update from Mexico:
1. The family is doing well, and that's the most important part as they wait for our help!
2. VBS lessons are now available for the week!
3. Our itinerary has been posted, although complete details are still forthcoming!
4. We may be doing more than 1 house! We have to servants, we have to momentum, and we have God on our side!
PRAISE REPORT!
* LA County is hearing about our trip, and they are very supportive! 2 foster youth under 15 years of age have already been approved by the courts and are officially team members! This is in no way a normal happening! This is an outright miracle and the foster community is being shaken up! Let everyone beware the poer and glory of our beloved King! WOW!
