My wife and the entire group got back into town last Friday (couple days ago) after being in Xalapa, Mexico for 1 week.  There are plenty of stories I have heard about how wonderful this trip was and hopefully made an impact for the church they went down to help.  The group (about 40 including Next, and 2 other churches) talked with roughly 250 people in Xalapa and Coatepec, with 188 of those accepting Christ into their lives.  That is just Awesome!!!

I wanted to share a few pictures that my wife took of the area last week:

Well almost..

My wife and about 13 others from our church are leaving tomorrow for a 1 week church planting mission trip to Xalapa. Mexico.  They are going with next worldwide, and last night they had there last minute meeting and prayer time.  Saturday morning they have to be at the airport at 4:30am, yes you read that right, 4:30 in the MORNING.  And guess who gets to take a few of them to the airport, yes me..!!  he he (it doesn’t bother me)

They have a quick flight to Mexico City and then a 4 hour layover..  (that should be fun, not!) and then a quick hop (less than 1 hour) to there destination.  You know what would be awesome for them.  If they had a private jet charter and it took them on a direct non-stop flight.  Yeah that would be really awesome.

Anyways I really hope and pray that the mission trip will be a success and the other church as well as Next Worldwide and our church all come back safe and healthy.
