Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 7

Hi everyone!
We have had such a great time in Mexico!  It's been a really awesome trip and we're sad that it's already over tomorrow. :(
To start out the day most of our team got up a five thirty to climb a fairly high mountain not too far from here, called Twin Peaks.  It an exhausting climb, but rewarding in the end.  The view was awesome!  It reminded me of how big a God we serve.
When we got back to Brenda's about three hours later, we had breakfast and then headed off to the city of Empalme, a suburb of Guymuas, with Juan Carlos to pray for the city.  It's so amazing to see Juan Carlos's passion for God and how he is so eager to reach the lost.  Juan explained how drug addictions and abuse were a huge problem in the city.  We were there to break the strongholds of the enemy and to take Empalme for Jesus.  First the whole team prayed together with Juan Carlos and after we split into three group and each took an area of the city to walk through while praying.
Lunch was back at Brenda's at two pm and afterwards we had some relaxing time to nap or rest from our exhausting climb in the morning.
Around 4 Juan Carlos took us to Guymuas to had out tracts and bottles of coke to anyone we met on the streets.  One van stopped at one major intersection and the rest of us stopped at another one near a bus stop.  John N. and Juan opened the coke bottles and we ran all over handing out the drink with Spanish tracts.  We climbed in the stopped buses or ran across the street to vehicles waiting at a red light.  It was so much fun!  Juan told us to say "Jesus te ama" (Jesus loves you) before we gave them the tracts and if they hesitated to say "gratis" which means "free" in Spanish.  The people there were very receptive.  In total we handed out 840 cokes and lots of tracts.  After all everything was handed out, we prayed together for the people who received the tracts.
For supper we had delicious taco soup and quesadias at Brenda's and after that team time on the roof of the house at the base.
It was an amazing day.  We really saw God work through us and hope that many more people were touched than what we knew.  Now it's pack up and get some sleep for the drive tomorrow.
Thanks for praying for us.
Rebecca        

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 6

Another eventful day! It began with a little fishing trip, from a harbour not far from where we're staying.  We all piled onto a lovely little boat called "The Ocean Spirit", manned by some of our translator, Mr.Carlos's friends. We set out, and spent the morning fishing, (the majority of us caught large, speckled fish called 'capri')  sun bathing (some of us a little too much with not enough sunscreen
 :( and probably the best part, SWIMMING WITH WILD DOLPHINS! We came to an area in which the dolphins were so close, we could see them swimming beside and just beneath the front of the boat. Then, we were able to jump in and swim in the icy cold, salty water with them simply splashing and swimming around us. Pretty epic.
After our ocean excursion, we drove (through a sea of some sketchy drivers) to an area to hand out food hampers. It was once again, an absolutely incredible experience. We split into 3 groups, each armed with a collection of hampers and an essential translator. And we set out in different directions within the blatantly obvious impoverished community. Each group came back with stories. About people suffering from sickness and ailments that they had prayed for and seen improvement, of people who had been praying for the Lord to provide for them because they had no food, and then we'd arrived! And also, the best part, there was a countless number of people who gladly accepted Jesus after we'd talked and prayed with them. It was a truly humbling and eye opening experience, and all of us enjoyed it immensely.
Then, after that lovely little adventure, we attended a evening service at Pastor Pablo's Church (whom some may recognize as an associate on previous missions trips). We once again did our "The Stand" skit, the cardboard testimonies, and Nick and Steph shared their testimonies (and did an awesome job). Then, Andy preached about the importance of looking back, to encourage us to finish the journey. He shared with us a story of the mountain climb of the missions trip 5 years ago.  In which at the point where some of the youth were becoming discouraged, one in particular urged them to sing worship songs and gaze back at all the ground they'd covered. He referenced to the story of Jesus walking on water in John (10:10) where the disciples were terrified to see Jesus walking on the lake, yet just days before he had performed the miracle of making a few loaves of bread and some fish feed thousands of people. He talked about how it is important to think about what has happened, what God has brought you through. To look back, to you can push forward.
It was a dandy service. We all enjoyed ourselves a great deal, and were welcomed warmly by all the people. Then, as usual, we ended the day with our group devotions on the terrace. Beneath the stars, in warm air with a gentle breeze, with all our voices united in praise to the Lord.

p.s.
We are eating incredibly well here, every day. Like, unbelievably well. Every day. :)
More soon,

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 5

Buenos Dias!

Today was very similar to yesterday's activities with the painting, and the VBS.

We started the day with some painting at the church in San Guaymas, a neighbouring city, from 9:30 to 12:30. Meanwhile Reilly and Andy stayed back to weld for the morning. Following was the VBS which went exceptionally well; the kids had a blast in the lessons, crafts and games! There were a lot more older kids this time, which was a good turn out. To finish off our time at the church, we painted one last wall, and cleaned up.

For supper we went to this amazing hot dog place called "Lapa Lapa Hot Dogs" which everyone enjoyed. Continuing on with the evening, we went to a view point over Guaymas, where we spent some time in prayer for the city, and in worship. Then we went for a treat at Dairy Queen on the way back to San Carlos.

We would like to lift up Nikki Shaw, as she is in pain with her back, and isn't feeling very well.

Tomorrow we are going fishing in the morning, then handing out food hampers from door to door; we will also be going to a church service, where we will be participating in the church service, with a skit and some testimonies.

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 4


(Sorry about the late post... couldn't make internet connection.)  Scott

Salutations!

Today we ran a VBS, there were about 50-60 kids. We also painted a church.

The youth painted the outside of the church, and tomorrow we will be painting the inside of the church. We painted from 9:30- 12:00. Then we had a delicious lunch break, made by the amazing cook Brenda.

Then around 12:30 kids started to arrive for VBS. In VBS we did crafts, games, and a lesson. VBS went from 2:00- 4:00. The kids were also extremely polite. Some even spoke English, which was awesome! For us it was really hard to communicate with them, but we used are hand signals, and our helper, Omar, to give the kids instructions. The kids were very open to talk with us. They also tried to explain their games to us, by getting their friends to show us how it goes. At the closing of VBS we sang some Spanish songs like, “If you’re happy and you know it.” We made many friends, and some sweet connections. Also most of us can’t get over how adorable the Mexican kids are.

Over all we had an amazing day! And we thank the Lord for our energy to help us through the day, and help us have patience with the kids. Thank you for the prayers!


Hey mom and dad!

Love Krista & Madi

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 3

Hola Amigos,

Todos es bien en Mexico!  (That's all the spanish we know how to spell so don't worry the rest is in English)

Today we woke up an hour early, oops! turns out we have a two hour time change-not just one! awkward....but we got the chance to spend more time on our devos, exploring Brenda's and the neighborhood. Some of the guys even climbed the big hill/small mountain before breakfast. 

We had the opportunity to go to the Centro Cristiano Church in Guaymas.  It was an interesting experience to say the least and it brought a whole to meaning to "making a joyful noise unto the Lord". There was a lot of dancing and praising God in ways that seemed strange to many of us but the passion of the people was too amazing to even explain.  We participated in the service in various ways by presenting a skit called The Stand and giving "cardboard testimonies" in which we wrote on one side of our board a struggle that we have and on the other we wrote how Jesus is/had helped us through it.  Jordan and Reilly also shared their testimonies with the congregation and after Scott spoke on the topic of apathy.

At the end of the service, the Pastor of this church called those who wanted prayer to the front. Once we were up there youth and other church members prayed with us. After the service was done, our group travelled to an addiction home that is run by the church. They have about twelve men living there right now but they usually house around twenty. Once we were given a tour we drove back to Brenda's for lunch. 

In the afternoon we went down to the beach to hang out and swim. A lot of us went climbing on the rocks to find starfish, shells and adventure. Much to Nic's dismay he found out that it was illegal to bring starfish across the border into the United States. So he reluctantly had to allow the starfish he had caught with our guide(a volunteer do-all) Herman, Stewart(arms) and Jasper(legs), to be released into the ocean.

After supper we had a surprise visit from a nearby youth group.  We got to know them and challenged them to a game of soccer.  It was good that there were only 10 of them playing because their skill rocked our socks off but we beat them in our numbers!

Our first full day in Mexico was concluded with our time of sharing, prayer, and worship.  All in all it was an awesome day of adventure and experiencing God.

Buenas Noches!

-Hilary and Steph

Shoutout to the fam of Madi and Hil
Hey guys hope you're having as much fun as we are! Love you :)

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 2

We drove.

Just kidding.

So today, clearly, we drove, and arrived in Mexico.  Driving wasnt just all fun and games, as most of you probably think.  We had a few close calls on they way with  a few semi drivers, and one particular white Honda who thought incoming traffic was a fable.  The day seemed to fly by, and yet, nobody freaked out at each other!  You would think after 40 hours with someone you would want nothing to do them right? False.  We are still all happy, and arrived, and continue to have a smile on our faces.

Where we are staying, could fool you to thinking we are on a vaction.  This is why I cannot attach photos, because you may get the wrong idea.  The place we are staying in is more resort than it is a "pad".  With a fountain, gazeboo, roof deck, and AMAZING food, its amazing.  For supper we had re fried, cheddar rice, chicken taquitos, and apple crisp for dessert.  Then we rehearsed for our service tomorrow, which by the way, you should pray for.

other than that, everyones health is in check, and the attitude and spirits are at an all time high.  A long bus ride, with 40 hours of bondage only built us up, and nobody can see this week being anything less than great.  Anyways, hope you guys are all having a good time, cause we are!

                                                                                                                                           Your truly,
                                                                                                                                         G-rift (Nic G)

Cornerstone Youth Mexico- Day 1

We are alive and well!!!

Roads have been good for the most part except for a few hours last night we had to drive through a bit of a storm. At one of our rest stops this afternoon as we were leaving we noticed the FORD had a flat tire... we found a tire shop and they were able to get us in right away! we all piled out thinking this would be at least an hour and before Scott had even finished his sandwich we were on the road again and with no charge! The Lord is watching over us! We made it to Albuqurque, New Mexico at around supper, enjoyed some pizza and are now heading to bed for some much needed rest!! We are all in good spirits and appreciate your prayers. We will keep you posted!

P.S. we played catch outside in tshirts and NO SNOW:)

New book in the library- The Price Of Freedom. A story of faith, in the face of danger by Simon Ivascu and Wesley Pop. This is what one reader had to say after she read this book:

"I just finished an incredible book. I seriously have never read a book so fast in my life. “The Price of Freedom.” The true story of two young (19 year old) men who escaped from Romania. They fled because every Romanian man has to serve a year in the army and because they are Christians they would face torture there. They came to Canada as stowaways in shipping containers on a massive ship. It’s the story of how they faced death numerous times, beatings, and how by an absolutely incredible miracle of God they survived. The one guy was badly beaten in Italy and Austria. So I’m reading it thinking this all took place 40 + years ago. NO! It was 1997! The one guy will be just turning 36 in March. They live in Kelowna BC now and are singers. The Freedom Singers. It’s a very quick easy read, but what you learn about God’s hand in the lives of people today is unreal. Simon, Wes and Simon’s brother were actually on the show Dragon’s Den, promoting their book. You can even Google them on youtube to hear them sing. They share their story at churches all over Canada. If you can get your hands on that book I recommend it".
