Mexico Mission Trip 2009
By Dan Mustain
Thank you so much for your prayers and support for the Mexico Mission Trip. It was hot, hard work, but God allowed us to accomplish our goals. Originally, there were approximately 15 people planning to go on a 10-day trip to build a stage, do some remodeling, and painting. Well, due to the economy, violence from drug cartels, and swine flu concerns, only three of us made the trip. I did not realize that the stage would contain a baptistery. It was quite a bit of work but we were able to finish the stage and the baptistery while we were there. Our trip was also shortened to 7 days. I’m very thankful that no one was injured lifting the heavy cinder blocks, building the platform, or mixing the concrete. Next year I plan to go back. We need to add a second floor to the pastor’s house. I also need some very strong people to go with me to carry cinder block, cement, rock, and dirt up to the second floor. Please contact me if you are interested. God saves us for good works and it is a blessing to help other brothers and sisters in Christ reach Deaf people.
Mexico Mission Trip — 2008
On June 16-18, Arthur Craig, Dan Mustain, Larrie Lister, and Dennis Prescott went to the Texas / Mexico border to explore new missionary outreach opportunities. They visited 2 Christian deaf schools. One was in Reynosa, Mexico and the other was in Rio Bravo, Mexico. It was good to visit these schools and meet the children. Mexico is a very poor country. The school system in Mexico has no special education. The deaf are mainstreamed with no interpreters. Praise the Lord the Mexican government allows these Christian Deaf Schools. These schools need our prayers and support. They need all kinds of school supplies and other building materials. It is wonderful that Jesus loves all the children in the world. Jesus gives real change to people. Through Jesus, these deaf students can actually learn about reading, sign language, math, and Jesus. These school are making a difference in Mexico. Please pray for more Christian Deaf Schools to be established. If you want to help with school supplies, please contact Dan Mustain for more information.
