How Can I Help?

We are getting so excited about our trip to Mexico and are so grateful to you - our family, friends, church family, coworkers, and so many others who care about what God is planning to do in and through us on this trip. Thanks for your well wishes, prayers, and support!

Several folks have asked how they can support our time in Mexico and the orphans and caregivers of Hogar de Amor.  Here are a few very important ways you can be involved:

1. Pray pray pray!  Some specific prayer requests are at the bottom of this post.
2. Provide supply donations for the trip.  We are collecting crayons (24 packs of Crayola crayons), coloring and activity books, and oral hygiene supplies (toothbrushes and toothpaste).  You can give these items to Jamie or anybody going on the trip. If you are a regular attender of CenterPoint Church we will also have specific donation requests in the lobby before and after church in February.
3. Financially support the trip's projects and the orphans of Hogar de Amor.  We will use these donations to purchase supplies for the trip and will donate the rest directly to the orphanage, so everything you give will help and encourage the kids of Hogar de Amor!  You can donate online (select Mexico Mission Trip as the fund) or make checks out to CenterPoint Church with a memo of "Mexico trip" and bring checks to church or mail them to the CenterPoint offices.

Thanks so much for your support for us and the kids of Hogar de Amor.  We can't wait to go!  Here are some specific areas you can pray for:

• We would quickly gel as a team and that a spirit of teamwork and service would infuse everything we do both before our trip and in Mexico.
• Our families, church family, friends, and community would know that they are an integral part of this trip through their encouragement, prayer, and financial support.
• Both we and those we serve will be transformed through our service.
• Logistics simply work.  That health, transportation, lodging, dining, planning around our work projects, and the myriad of other details would reinforce, never detract from, God's work in and through us.

Going Back to Colima!

We are very excited to announce that we are going back to Colima this spring to work at the Hogar de Amor orphanage!  Hooray! 

Please start praying for the team and trip now as we begin our preparations.  Here are a few specific requests:

1. We would quickly gel as a team and that a spirit of teamwork and service would infuse everything we do both before our trip and in Mexico.
2. That our families, church family, friends, and community would know that they are an integral part of this trip through their encouragement, prayer, and financial support.
3. We can find inexpensive airfare to Mexico with convenient flight times.
4. Both we and those we serve will be transformed through our service.
5. Logistics simply work.  That health, transportation, lodging, dining, planning around our work projects, and the myriad of other details would reinforce, never detract from, God's work in and through us.
