okay i am excited to get outta America n to Mexico City, but i'm so freaking STOKED to have Brazil finally on the radar:) I have received so much generosity thru financial means as well as emotional support. seriously...this missionary status thing...i couldn't do it without outside encouragement and financial contributions. it is so true when they say that your supporters are actual ministry partners...working towards the same goal in bringing God's kingdom to this earth.
I have figured up that i am currently in need of around $1500 for Mexico City. I am good on staff fees for the 2 months leading up to outreach (Nov and Dec.) we will leave Jan 1. Then upon arrival back to the states...I will just need money for a plane ticket out to Brazil:)
Our ministry in Mexico City will vary, however, we expect to work alot with street children ministries that are already in existance...as well as incorporate sum skateboarding ministry up in there considering we have a skilled boarder on the team! Mexico City, alone, has over 10,000 documented street children. The economy drop out as well as drugs and alcohol consuming the family unit have led to an overload in runaway or abandoned kids. They spend most of their days scraping n begging for enough money to get glue...so that they can numb themselves with a consistent cheap high. So many opportunities for relationship building and counseling:) I will keep you updated on what our ministry options look like when we get more information. We may also work with girls who have been prostituted. prostitution is legal in Mexico. its such a dark place and we will need a TON of spiritual prayer covering.
I think i broke down a lil on what ministries i would be working alongside with during my time in Brazil. I really desire to gain insight and wisdom/knowledge in how they run their street ministries there and how they work with the kids. Do sum best practice analyses in order to implement ideas and successes within the organizations i will establish in the future.
Yeah. So...$1500 before Jan 1st. major prayer coverage/warfare during our time there: specifically...against depression, complacency, spiritual oppression, sickness (often times spiritual oppression would manifest as sickness during my last outreach in Mexico), Team unity (confrontation skills...ability to see each other thru God's eyes...sharpening each other...all for the sake of God's glory and no other reason...prayer for not lending to our human tendencies towards self-protection or anything selfish)...and that we are able to receive more information from our contacts so that we can be planning more and contacting our ministry partners. no big deal:)
