Tijuana 2010 Mission's Trip Complete!
Sorry no other updates until now. On day 3 until just now, we have been non-stop going! There were a couple days that I felt like I'm not going to make it today, I'm exhausted... But God filled me up with his love, joy and glory to make it through in power! We were getting up at 7 am, leaving at 9 am and returning at 11 pm one night and 2am the next night. Whew!
We just returned home and i have never been so thankful for a hot shower, clean air, carpet and a comfy bed!
We are truly blessed to live the way that we live! Most people have no idea of the poverty that exists... We take for granted the luxuries of our comforts...
We are blessed to have been born into the country and families we were born in to. There are so many people out there who didn't have a choice and still don't.
When you go to sleep tonight, THANK GOD FOR THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD THAT DOESN'T LEAK, THE CARPET THAT YOU GET TO WALK ON, THE HOT WATER THAT YOU GET TO TAKE A SHOWER IN, THE BEAUTIFUL SMELLS OUTSIDE, THE FOOD YOU ATE TODAY, THE TV YOU WATCHED AND THE CAR YOU DROVE...
We had an amazing time on our Mission's trip! It's really impossible to put into words all that I got from this trip. We prayed for people and they were healed! We loved people and they were set free! So many people I would hug didn't want to let go. It was so amazing just to love on people.We equipped the churches and the people with what we have so they can continue on after we left. they were so excited to see God move in such astounding ways. And they were reading to get out and get people saved.
We went to Revolucion Street. This is Tijuana's Red Light District. We held an event there on a stage, worship testimonies and healings! People got radically touched. They were healed, delivered and saved. A few people on our team actually prayed for a prostitute and her pimp. They accepted Jesus. he then went inside his strip club and brought out 2 more prostitutes so they could be prayed for. Then when they were done being prayed for, they didn't know what to do because they didn't want to go back inside! Come on Jesus!!!
We saw so much poverty. Extreme poverty. They are still happy though. The people were so open to talk to us. Even though we didn't speak that much Spanish. We figured it out. We had amazing translators but they weren't always available.
I personally prayed for people and saw many miracles! I also witnessed many other miracles when other people prayed. The power of Jesus still exists today! Miracles do still happen!
I feel like my level of faith has exploded!! I have always known that anything is possible with God but I have now seen it first hand! And this is just the beginning!! WooHoo!!!
Pictures soon to come!

Tijuana Missions Trip 2010~ Day 2
Tijuana Missions – Day 2
Day 2 was an amazing day! We started our day with pancakes and sausage!
We then had a team meeting. We are split up into 9 teams. Within in these 9 teams we each have a worship team, arts team, children’s team, teachers and preachers. So, we met with our teams, which turned into a wild crazy fun party with a fire tunnel. At the end of the tunnel we declared what we wanted to see for that day.
We had lunch shortly after and then each team was sent out! We had 5 churches to go to and have services at. However, God had a change of plans for our team. Our team stayed behind. We have a neighborhood across the street from our camp that is very, very poor. Before we left, we were meeting and we had an elderly gentleman who works at the camp come to us and ask for prayer. He had a Hernia where his stomach was bulging out. We prayed and the mass in his stomach went completely away!!! Wow!!! The he said he had bronchitis and that was completely healed also! Our team leader had made friends with the local pastor the day before. So, we made a visit to his house. I drove Shawn’s truck up these very steep dirt hills with the biggest potholes you have ever seen. The streets also had giant trenches throughout. So driving was an adventure in itself! We split up into teams and hit the neighborhood. 3 teams went door to door and I was with a team in the truck. We used a bull horn and drove around giving kids candy and balloons. They loved it! The families were very receptive. And I am learning more and more Spanish! We invited everyone to service. We prayed for one man and he said that God told him that he was going to send him someone to help him and he believed it was us. He also said that he saw angels all around the truck. And he actually saw the hand of God on the top of truck. He also saw fire all around our truck. He said that God is protecting you and the Holy Spirit is with you and you can go anywhere you want and be protected… Wow! Wow! Wow!!!
Our service was amazing!! 20 or so adults showed up and about 40 children. We had worship. Our drama team did an amazing, tear jerking drama and then we released the prophetic on them. Each team member was required to step out and say something. Being pushed is a good thing!! And then I had about 5 minutes to preach!! WooHoo!! It was good and God showed up! He loves these people so much! We then went into healing. Everyone got healed! A lady with back problems for years, a girl with a dislocated elbow, stomach problems and an infected leg. On the outreach, two hernias were healed, an ankle was healed, a knee was healed and a girl with epilepsy believes she’s healed!!
We came back to camp. We were all hungry so we piled everyone in the back of the truck and went down to the taco truck. We literally had 15 or so people in the back of the truck… I am officially certified to drive in Mexico!!! Hahahahaha!!!! We ate lots of tacos, prayed for more people. 2 people accepted Jesus at the taco truck!! Ha! The best miracles of the day!!! Imagine the guy at the taco truck, seeing 20 crazy Americans driving up in a truck for tacos at 10:30 at night!!

Tijuana Missions Trip 2010~ Day 1
We're Here!!!
We had quite an event at the border yesterday. Shawn and I drove one of the trucks with a lot of luggage and they wouldn't let us through carrying other people's luggage :( The Mexican police/military are walking around with shot guns.
Long story short.... It finally got worked out 3 hours later, sitting at the border with the mexican inspection... IN MEXICO!
They let us through!!! It was kinda exciting...
Stayed all day today in the compound-surrounded by barbed wire fences (not allowed to leave camp).
Our camp is complete with roosters, goats, dogs, a donkey and turkeys. :~) The roosters were up at 4 am... I guess they don't know when the sun rises. LOL!!!
You are not aloud to flush any toilet paper in any of the toilets. If you accidentally throw it in, you have to fish it out.... YUCK!!!
The food is good. No hot water for showers. We're with 170 revivalists coming to bring Love to Tijuana!!
Tonight we have a service with our gigantic team!! Then off to bed because who's slept?!?! LOL!!
Tomorrow we leave at 2:00 pm to do services at the churches in Tijuana... WooHoo!!! Can't wait!!!
We were able to Skype Jade, Savannah, Tyler and Sanaiya today!! Very cool!!! I know they feel better knowing we're alive... hahaha!!!
We love you all and thank you so much for all of your encouragement, love and support!!
