In the absence of a
short-term missions coordinator and director, my role will be to serve
our team in this capacity for this trip by preparing them, and giving
guidance to them as they share their gifts and talents for the good of
those along the border. One of the tasks of the team will be to assist a
congregation (US side) with a community outreach through a Vacation
Bible School every evening (Monday through Friday).
The
theme of the lessons is "Things Hidden" which is an evangelistic study
of Kingdom Parables. A central verse in this study is “The
kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found
and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and
buys that field. (Matthew 13:44 ESV) The material is produced by
"Niños Deseando a Dios" or "Children Desiring God." One of the reasons
that it is such a great idea to use material like this is the fact that
it is completely and totally centered on Christ because it is focused on
His Gospel.
In
addition to the VBS I will be preaching a couple of different times and
our team will be delivering medical supplies to Mexico. The team will
also be sharing the Gospel with families in the northeastern state of
Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Here
are some ways that you can pray for our team.
First, I would ask that
you pray for those that will be speaking the Gospel (for faithfulness,
boldness, and humility) and for those who will receive it (may God open
their hearts and grant them repentance and faith).
Second, we are praying
for additional financial partners that can help send them. Many of the
team are still raising their funds and could use support.
In Christ,
Aaron
