When Craig Johring first heard the call to come to Mexico City, he envisioned a training event in a stadium full of students passionate about worshiping Christ with their lives. When we first came down here last year, we drew up a plan that included a 15,000 person training event for the fall of 2008.
This past summer I heard that Passion was planning on going international, so I decided to give them a ring. The first person I spoke to was Gina Shaw (Louie Giglio's sister). She told me that Passion was indeed planning on
coming to Mexico and that she was part of the exploratory team that would scope out Mexico City in September.She also told me that they would like to hold their event in the fall of 2008. I could hardly believe it. I sensed the Lord's hand. Could we partner together to help thousands of Mexican students live for God's glory and launch movements on their campuses to put the Gospel within arms reach of 1,000,000 college students?
The answer is... yet to be determined, but we had an incredible time hanging out with Gina and Matt and Melissa Morris on Friday. They love the Lord deeply and want to step into what God is doing here in Mexico City. As you read this right now ask Jesus to help us figure out how together we can spread His glory here and enable students to do the same!
We had such a fun time connecting. Gina has a family with seven kids. No wonder she's so much fun to hang out with. Matt and Melissa now live in Houston and are pretty cool themselves. Matt actually planned the original OneDay event. Great folks!

joe, awesome. I'll have to come down for the weekend. Hey any of those louiy people single? Maybe you'll get a date out of this too.
Steve - love the movement launching training in a day too. Not as sucky as last year I imagine.
i expect you to come down!
our training time still needs a lot of work, but we'd probably all be sitting around trying to figure out what to do if you wouldn't have pulled the first one together.
Joe, that is so cool that this is something you and Craig were praying for in that specific time frame! God is so cool! I'll keep praying for the details with the partnership potential.
