This trip is a coordinated effort with nine members from Asbury and ten from Faith UMC in Tulsa. Our team is working closely with several different Mexican congregations here in Monterrey, and the Holy Spirit is emphasizing the unity of Christ's body working together for a common purpose. One God, one Body, and one mission!
Mary Carmen, the new VIM coordinator, testified that she and her siblings became Christians through Mission Bible School which a group of Baptist's from the United States conducted here many years ago. Humberto and Myrtha, our hosts, are headed to Cuba for mission work as soon as our group leaves, and they are taking a group of (Juan Wesley) seminary students to Cuba next year. It's fun to see how God works, and how much we have in common with our Mexican brothers and sisters.
Saturday and Sunday are all about travel, sight-seeing, and eating! We are going to visit the grottos (mountain caverns outside of town) this afternoon and hopefully end the day with ice cream from the corner store. After that, it's going to be work, work, work!
