Mission Meeting A Success
I am very thankful for a very good time tonight to meet, pray, discuss procedures, share and worship.
Parents: make sure you get all the papers they brought home
Extra info: They will need a pillow, we will have a sleeping bag there - twin sheet or fitted sheet up to you.
We focused on being a team, unified, Corpus Christi - "body of Christ"! Keep praying - see you next week!

Definitely Not God's Will For Us in Juarez
I was just forwarded this information from the Assemblies of God to our church:
Safety Update
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Hi Youth Leaders:
One of the primary responsibilities of the national Ambassadors In Mission (AIM) office is to do all we can to assure our Assemblies of God (AG) host missionaries provide safe trips for our students, including current updates regarding traveler safety.
We’ve received the following travel alert from Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) for the USA/Mexican border because of on-going violence:
"The situation along the USA/Mexican border is dynamic in nature and we are attempting to gather as much information as we can which has led us to take the following steps:
We cannot approve any AIM teams going into the following areas of Mexico: Nuevo Laredo (Laredo, TX), Ciudad Juarez (El Paso, TX), or Tijuana (San Diego, CA).
Currently, we are looking at the entire state of Durango and the advisory that has been placed on that area. Generally, most other areas in Mexico are not as affected and we haven't felt the need to close them to ministry teams. We strongly encourage teams to use discretion as they select ministry spots in Mexico and to work with Assemblies of God missionaries who are well acquainted with their areas of ministry”.
If you were headed to these areas this summer, please re-direct those plans. Help us to better serve you by registering your AIM teams with the national AIM office so that forms may be processed through AGWM. AIM registration guidelines and forms may be found at: http://www.aim.ag.org/getstarted.cfm
God bless and please give us a call if we can assist you in any way!

Pray for Anapra, Mexico
Article in today's El Paso Times - one of the poorest areas that we used to go to in Mexico - Anapra. Pray for Lisa Hernandez and her church and that neighborhood.

This morning our 8th graders, who will be going to Corpus Christi, Texas on April 1st for their missions trip, were each assigned to an elementary class to: tell who they are, where they are going, what they will do in Texas and pass out prayer cards so the children will remember to pray for them. It is a great "mini-experience" to see what missionaries go through.
PS - we had a GREAT MEETING last night with the adults going on the trip. Your kids will be very blessed!
Reminder - please make sure they are here for the meeting on the 27th!
Your money is due today - if there are complication, please let me know.
Have a great day!

PRAYER REQUEST: for the city of Juarez, Mexico
More than 3,000 Mexican troops arrived during the weekend in Juárez as part of what authorities have described as a frontal assault on crime in the coming weeks.
The new soldiers, which are in addition to the 2,000 already assigned to Joint Operation Chihuahua, were deployed after a meeting last week among high-level Mexican government officials in Juárez.
