We Have Arrived


3:00am we finally settled into our sleeping bags at Juarez Alliance Church, or should I say we settled on top of our sleeping bags. The weather in Juarez is overwhelmingly hot, about 93oF after midnight! I guess that is our welcome to Mexico.

9:00am yesterday morning the team departed North Shore Alliance Church in our caravan of three automobiles. God's hand was certainly upon us as we crossed the boarder in only 10 minutes and headed on to Sea Tac Airport. The flights were late but smooth and all the baggage arrived intact.

Saying Goodbye



Packing up and heading off

To make up for the late night our wonderful hosts let us sleep in and currently the team is with the group from Coquitlam Alliance loading up the trucks and vans for the six hour journey south west to Rio Chico. From there the teams will separate as the Coquitlam group is going a further six hour south into the Copper Canyon and our team will be staying at the Base Camp in Rio Chico to help with some building projects and doing childrens ministries in a near by town called Pena Blanca.

Although quite tired the group is very excited about their next two weeks. Please pray that this would be a time where we can make an impact for Christ on the community around us as well as be changed ourselves.

Until next time, blessings from the North Shore Alliance Team

Go Team! How are you holding up in the heat?

We are cheering you on and praying that GOD will do with you and through you what only HE can do.

As a mother I am compelled to remind you to WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN AND DRINK FROM YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE!

Praise God for your arrival! Well done everyone! We are very excited about the plans God has for you and the lives you are going to touch through Him.

Jonathan, I hope your stitches came out today with no discomfort. If you forgot to have them out...DO IT SOON!
