Thirteen of our people were able to travel to Mexico in July.  We were privileged to work at the Mexican Indian Training Center which is under the direction of Dan Hall. MITC  is a Bible School preparing Mexican young men and women for church planting work in the mountains of southeastern Mexico.  We were able to assist the school with various work projects including the construction of a new guest house.  Our ladies were able to help out with a VBS program for children living in the neighborhood surrounding the school.  Dane Logan was able to provide dental care for many of the students and staff. We were also able to attend three churches in the surrounding area in which we were able to sing and the pastor preached.  We had a wonderful trip and thank God for the opportunity to meet some of our brothers and sisters in the Lord from Mexico!  We are anxious to return again next year if the Lord wills.  Hope you enjoy the pictures from our trip!
