Prayers penetrated the doors of heaven as we prayed, “Lord, help us finish strong!” And finish strong, we did!!! This summer, many youth and adults joined us in Tijuana and other YUGO ministry sites in Mexico sharing the love of Jesus. Over 1,000
Mexican people recognized their need to know Jesus in a personal way.
There are no unimportant positions in the kingdom of God. Our point of service may change with the seasons of our life, but we are always on duty for Him. He uses whatever skills and gifts we have and provides the strength we need to be salt and light. We have an awesome privilege to be part of the divine labor taking place on earth. God doesn’t need our help, but He wants to incorporate our small contribution into His master plan. When we are obedient in serving, He honors us with the title, “good and faithful servant.” Charles Stanley
Many of our summer staff and volunteers have left Mexico, but not without leaving behind a legacy of hard work and a deeper knowledge of God’s heart for the world. Each volunteer and staff member brought skills and gifts that allowed us to work together in unity to see God’s hand move in a mighty way. Each will carry the title, “good and faithful servant.”
This was the first year ever to bring KIDS GAMES – a worldwide sports/vacation bible school program to Mexico. North Coast Calvary Chapel brought a team of adults to work with YUGO Missionary Cindy Reid. 70 kids including many orphans, children from
poor neighborhoods and pastor’s kids had a blast. The volunteer staff and translators worked really hard. 18 kids asked Jesus into their hearts and all learned songs, scripture verses and saw LOVE in action! Rebekah rallied together with friends, Bryce, Melissa and Avanti to take part in translating and having fun while working with the kids.
God was faithful in sending in help to finish the summer strong. Randy & Lorraine and Tony, Monica, Jordon & Niki from St. Albert, Alberta joined us at the Tijuana Outreach Center. These families chose to take a vacation with a purpose. Each brought with them special gifts and hearts to serve. Many thanks to the Oudenaarden’s and Simms for being the hands and feet of Christ, serving those around them. Rebekah even had the privilege of joining them on their family vacation at Universal Studios when the summer evangelistic outreaches ended.
