A final reflection by Melissa Renner

For me Mexico meant so much, a trip that i reflect on all year, and excitedly await till the next. Where i see my daughter grow up in dedicated service to the Lord i am without words and we know that is rare. Lol. First we travel together and bond in ways we would never get the opportunity to in our everyday life. The youth on our group this year were amazing. To hear and help translate their testimonies will forever bring my heart joy and hearing how they have come to depend on God when they do not understand. (this is something i am still learning) God has really given me a gift when it comes to working with the youth. i enjoyed the jokes the tears the stories and the hugs! Thank you…. Second we arrive in a small town in Mexico where the children are awaiting our arrival and they soak up all the love and attention we can give. we sing, pray, craft, build, teach, fellowship ,act, paint, home evangelism, eat and become friends with our neighbors from the south.. We can hardly believe its time to go home .. After we had 25 young children dedicate their hearts to Jesus Christ! ~and being part of sharing with the women WHO the author of the Bible was, is and remains.. To be able to pray with a young boy in a tragic car accident and seeing his faith that one day he would walk! I could go on and on with how God has touched my heart….and to see the growth of our teens as they experience all Gods plan and how he uses everyone of us. To anyone reading this please consider joining our trip you will be forever changed and humbled by what God wants to teach you…..
