On Friday, July 10th, an amazing crew of 14 individuals are heading down to Emmanuel Children's Home in Juarez, Mexico. We will be putting on a faith-infused basketball clinic to approximately 60 children from the home, as well as about 40 children invited from the surrounding neighborhood. It's our prayer that God works in us and through us as we seek to bring hope and joy to an area corrupted by drug trafficking and crime, political instability, and poverty.
We are ROAD-TRIPPING!!! Twenty plus hours of sights and smells, stories and late-night sillyness, we'll be arriving in El Paso late Saturday night, then crossing the border early Sunday morning just in time to attend the home's Sunday worship service.
As the Spirit leads, please keep these things in your prayers:
(1) First and foremost, that God remains the center of this trip and ministry--that it will be an act of praise and worship for our amazing Lord and Creator.
(2) That our hearts and the hearts of the children remain open for the Spirit to move.
(3) For a blessing on the home as they continue to love and serve the children of Juarez. (You can learn more about Emmanuel at: www.emmanuelgo.org.)
(4) For safety and protection as we travel and over the duration of our stay.
Check this blog in the upcoming days for daily trip updates and stories from the crew. Thanks for all the love and support from SOOOO many individuals!
More to come.......

We are praying that the Lord will use each one of you in a unique way at the orphanage and along the way. Plant those seeds and let your lights shine!!!!
