Mezquital, Mexico

20 - 28 June 2008
In partnership with To Every Tribe Ministries

A group of our Youth Quest campers will travel to Mexico with Pastor Fleming in June.

The Mezquital region of Mexico is situated squarely on the Gulf Coast, eighty miles south of Brownsville, Texas. Several villages surround the perimeter of the Laguna Madre and are home to thousands of people who make their living as fishermen. There is very little evangelical influence among these coastal peoples.

Our ministry targets will be the villages of La Posa, Media Luna, Emiliano Zapata, Centenario, Ruby Island and Las Higuerillas. Depending on the giftedness of our team, we will have opportunity to preach, teach songs, teach children through a VBS, conduct sports ministries, construction projects (as needed) and provide medical clinics. Our goal is to prepare, in advance, self-contained teams which will camp and minister for five days (Saturday-Wednesday) in these locations.

Mezquital is much more rugged and physically challenging than many missions experiences. We will be sleeping in tents, there may be no electricity, no showers (bucket baths) and only outhouses for toilet facilities. This isn't a ministry for the faint-hearted!
