We had a great time visiting with the BEAMM team, and accepted a call to serve on the US/Mexico border with Mission to the World. We hope to go to language school for 9 months to a year. Then I will apprentice under Manuel Padilla, a church planter in East El Paso. This community is 90% Hispanic, and is crucial for training up the next generation of leadership for both sides of the border. Some of the specific needs are for leadership training, and community outreach through sports. I better get my brother Rob to help me out with my soccer skills. After this apprenticeship in El Paso/Juarez, we would like to go to Nogales, Sonora and help start churches there.
Our team has several church plants in Juarez. We train pastors at San Pablo seminary where I hope to teach when my Spanish gets up to par. And we are planning a community center to focus on mercy ministries. We are currently accepting short term teams for English language camps, VBS, and construction projects. Please see BEAMM's website if your church is interested.
