OUR MEXICO INTERNS ARE OFF!

August and Kasie are heading to MEXICO! Full story that you can read...HERE.

THIS SUNDAY, JULY 1ST

Hola! Team! It's COREY here with some news you can use.
This Sunday is another Mexico Team meeting from 3pm to 5pm at GCC. Here is what you are bringing...

• All of your signed paperwork
• Your passport
• Half of your money
• Your journal

Here is what we will have at the meeting...A person to put the stamp of approval on your official paperwork.

Something to think about...We would love to hear a 3 minute version of your SALVATION story, or maybe a 3 minute version of your BIG STEP story.

And last but not least...a journaling exercise from the BIBLE. BACK2BACK Ministries has sort of embraced Romans 12:1-2 as their summer scripture.

(The Message) So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Take a few moments to write about this verse, and what jumps out to you-what you resonate with-what convicts you, etc.

See you Sunday!

How's it going?

Hey Mexico team!

Just wanted to throw out several reminders to help you guys and gals out!

Next team meeting is in a couple weeks, Sunday July 1 from 3-5 pm at GCC.
All your forms are due at that meeting. Remember to get them notarized. We're working on having a notary here at that meeting.
Is your passport here yet? Remember to bring that to the next team meeting too!

Remember that$650 is due July 1st. We will have a report ready for you that will let you know where you are at and then the remainder of the trip will be due by July 21st, the date of the trip. If you have money that you've earned or have saved up for the trip, go ahead and turn it in by mailing it in with one of the pre-addressed labels or dropping it by the church with John Keim's/Student Missions on the envelope. It is best that you turn in all you have before the July 1st meeting to have the most accurate update.

Keep on working! Keep on raising support! Keep on praying! Keep on preparing! July 21st will be here before you know it!

Hey Team! Corey here, with some advice...Second Saturday is this week and not only would it be cool for us to come together as a team, but also to help sift through Ted's "Trash 2 Treasure" stuff at Feed the Children.

It's this Saturday, (6/9) and we meet at GCC at 8am!
Hope to see you there!

It will be "Bueno"

Corey

NEXT MEETING THIS SUNDAY!

Hey MEXIC07 team, we wanted to remind you that the next MEXIC07 meeting is this Sunday, the 3rd, from 3-5 pm at GCC.

This Sunday, we'll have financial updates for you on the support that has come in as well as a handful of important papers and forms that we need to get taken care of to make traveling to Mexico smooth. These forms require parental signatures as well as notary seals so we will send these forms home with you for you to work on before the final team meeting on July 1st. We'll also be spending more time talking about not just what we're doing in Mexico, but who we'll be serving.

Final travel details, itineraries and all the emergency contact/last minute information will be handed out at the July 1st Meeting.

Remember to bring your journals and your folders! And remember to take a few minutes before Sunday and look back through your journal of the last three weeks and revisit your thoughts on Philippians 2:3-11 and consider the question "Now What?" After reading and rereading that passage for the last three weeks, through what you've learned and observed, how are you going to be different, how is this trip going to be different because of what you've read. We'll see you on Sunday!

PS-We won't have a meal this time since it's in the afternoon, but we'll have some drinks!
