This coming January 3 - 10, I will be taking a mission trip to Caborca, Mexico.  Mexicans and Americans will work together to bring the gospel to people who have little opportunity to hear it.  We will present the Jesus Film in work camps around the Caborca area to migrant farm workers.

  Most of these men come from the state of Chiapas where it is very difficult to be a Christian or share ones faith. Last year, there was a tremendous reception for the gospel, and never enough bibles to meet the demand.  They listened eagerly as we preached the gospel and shared the Jesus Film.  They were so excited to receive the Bible in written or audio form it was amazing.  I can hardly wait to get up there again this year and see what God will do this time.

    We have an open door with a Pastor in El Diamente, to use the bible school building there.

    If you would like to join us from the states the cost will be $300 per person.  This will include your food, housing, gas to and from the camps, and pay for Bibles and CDs that we'll distribute.  The only things not covered by this cost will be your gas or flight down to Caborca and any souvenirs or snacks you want to purchase while you are there.

      Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have about the trip or what it will be like.  My email is sallyagapeprojects@gmail.com

See you in Caborca!

kind souls like Gerardos Aunt took us in along the journey

a reminder that God keeps His promises

We made it home, a day late, but very happy to be here!

We made it!

Well guys, I'm back in Culiacan! 

The Lord definitely carried booboo and I all the way down here.  I met up with my driver and ministry partner Gerardo in Tijuana.  we tanked up and headed off west thru Tecate and on near Mexicali.  After dealing with the car paperwork and a few other details we began the long trek across the barren desert over to Sonoyta.  Imagine no water, no food, no gas, no hotel,  nothin'!   and thats where we were when we discovered our tank was empty!  We were 70 kilometers out and i told Gerardo it would be a miracle if we made it. well we did, I love miracles!

    The next fun thing that happened was a flash hurricane style storm over Obregon.  we hid under the roof of a gas station as it was impossible to drive.  Gerardo braved the elements to grab the guitars and several boxes of bibles from the back.  He crammed them on top of booboo and I and there we sat for almost an hour.  finally we left, me still with a guitar practically up my nose and booboo hiding her head 'til it was over.  At last we passed thru the worst of it, a few hours off schedule but glad to be alive albeit wet, stinky, dirty and hungry.

    When we finally arrived in Culiacan a day late, and emptied out the car, i discovered nearly ALL my clothes were wet. Nothing was damaged but its taken me two days now to get everything hung out on the line or draped over whatever I could find.  

       So I've still got loads of mess and disorder to sort out but the phones work again, the AC is on high,  the plumber and gardner come saturday to fix things, and I'm so thankful to be here.

         Students have been dropping by already asking when we can start classes.  I just got this sense this summer that God was going to really bless my little English school here and it sure looks like thats happening.  

         You know, in addition to your prayers, i think a lot of this blessing can be attributed to the almost constant worship that went on during the 4 day drive down here. we had the praise music cranked as we sang song after song.  Its as if our praise became a weapon to slash thru whatever troubles the enemy had planned for us and our shouting the victory in hope became the victory in real time.  

    Lets hope to remember that next time things look dicey!

Well, I'll get some cool pictures on facebook and the website as soon as I can get the rest of my stuff organized and find the camera,  I'm sure its under something.

Thanks again for the wonderful prayer send off at FBC, and many other gestures of kindness and care.  i miss you all already.  Even so, I'm very glad to be here.   I can feel that God is going to do some great things this season and I'm so grateful your prayers and contributions are enabling me to be a part of it.

Biggest blessings possible for all of you!
