Pachuca Student Movement

Here's a sweet story. Let me set it up in just a few sentences.

This past summer, we had 14 amazing people on our Mexico Journey summer project. Five of those students spent two weeks in Pachuca (about an hour north of Mexico City). They met Main and Javier there, two really sharp (and really fun) student leaders. Get this...not long before our MJ students showed up, Main's mom had heard a prophecy regarding a coming revival in the communications sector of Latin America, specifically concerning students studying communications. Main was a communications major. She gathered a few students and began to pray for her campus. Then, our gang showed up.

Our student team spent lots of time with Main and Javo and gave them a few simple steps to launch a movement on their campus. They worked hard at the beginning of this school year to get things going. This past Wednesday they had their first outreach - a dinner catered for their friends complete with an impressive shadow show (that's right, and it was cool), a well-done video of their testimonies, and a clear presentation of the Gospel. What else would you expect from a group of communications majors?

About 20 students showed up, which is what they planned on. As far as I could tell, every student had a great time. All of their friends felt welcome and cared for, and they heard more about Jesus. I was able to walk through the Gospel again with one of the girls after the event. She had a few questions about surrendering her heart to God. No doubt Main and Javo will continue to point her and the rest of their friends toward Christ.

Afterwards, Caitlin Hutchins led the leaders through a quick training in how to use Life Transformation Groups, as one of the leaders was really excited about them. May God do a mighty work through these sold-out students! Enjoy the fruit of your work Journeyers!
