Wow. Wow. Wow. Where do I even start? My head hurts with the stories of the students that spent 7 weeks in Mexico launching campus movements in 7 different cities. Their stories sound like something from the book of Acts.The team that went to Toluca, just outside of Mexico City, surfaced so many student leaders in the city that they barely had time to rest. They spent hours and hours with the students sharing life together and coaching them in how to start movements on their campuses.
After about a week in Toluca, these students even insisted that the team move out of the hotel and stay in their homes. So, they did just that!
Through a divine appointment, they spent a few days working at an orphanage with hundreds of children. Normally the government requires you to commit to six months before allowing you
to help out, but the Lord opened a door for our Journeyers. They had a blast loving on the kids. Their example actually inspired the Mexican students to begin ministering to their city. The students went with them on one occasion to the orphanage and then went back to their church and said, "These Americans have been here for two weeks, and they have served our city more than we have." That inspired the church to get involved with the orphanage as well!These students deeply impressed me with their love for Jesus and their determination to surface movement leaders in 7 different cities in 7 weeks. They set the bar for pioneering summer missions projects.
They deserved the 5-day debrief at the beach
. (Actually they deserve a whole lot more.)
