Summer 2010
Friends:
Summer is here! We hope you are enjoying the warmer weather and making time to spend with your friends and family.
We want to pass on greetings from Leo, Suzy and Jesus. They are praying for you and all of us up here in the U.S. It is so encouraging to hear from them as they continue to share their faith and how God guides us, this ministry and our future. They continue to patiently endure so many changes and continue to be faithful servants. They and the pastors are in continual prayer for our alumni and for future teams.
We are making some changes here within our structure to serve the Mexicans more directly. We want to ensure donors' $$ are spent wisely go more directly to our projects in Mexico. Our goal is to be good stewards of our resources as we sustain our ministry.
First, Dave McCombs has offered to resign his position as President of the ministry. Dave is rotating to focus his energies on MM's marketing and will work to develop parking lot builds. We hope to build many homes in parking lots and send them to our friends in Mexico. With Dave's spirit and vision, he plans to continue to his hard work for the poor of Mexico in his new role.
Secondly, we are in the process of moving our office to another location here in Denver. We will keep the same e-mail and phone numbers. We are going to seize the opportunity to save on our lease and move into less costly office space nearby.
Third, we continue to look at our expenses in Mexico. We've had to reduce the number of our crew but continue to provide those who have worked for us with food. Our core crew remains in place including Leo, Suzie, Jesus, Chago, Carlos and Claudia. The libraries are open part time and Suzie works hard to shuttle between the two to provide 'her children' with enhanced learning.
We trust God with our future and the impact we can make for the poor. We're working on building a network of volunteers we can more actively engage in short spurts to help our Mexican friends and meet their needs. If you are one who has a heart for this ministry, please let us know. Our goal is to utilize our volunteers and be much more organized as we do so.
Let's Roll! Where would you like to build a house with some friends and send it to Mexico? Remember the difference it makes for a family who could never afford it otherwise. How about your property, your church parking lot, your place of business? What groups are you a part of? What groups or schools are your children a part of? Please contact us and let us help you work through the details and see if we can get something scheduled.
Also, check out the recent blogs from returning team members on our website! We continue to take teams to Juarez. It's fun to read about other's experiences and mission trips.
Please continue to pray for Missions Ministries. We have a great purpose as God allows us to continue to transform communities and lives by shining His light through these builds, food outreaches and education. We need you more than ever to lift this ministry and the Mexican poor up in prayer. We invite you to join our mission, get engaged and work beside us. If you can lend support and are able to donate on a regular basis, we ask you to prayerfully consider $30-$40/month. Please join us! Thank you and please keep the prayers coming.
God bless,
Jeff, Ian, Ed, Gene, Cary, Cindy and John
