Missions Trip!

So one of Bethel's requirements to graduate is to go on a missions trip.  But not just any missions trip.  A Bethel missions trip!  What that means is... well, I'll just let you read the description of the trip I'm going on;

Tijuana Leader: Mark Brookes  Dates: March 27 - Apr 3

Tijuana has been a life changing experience for every student that has gone. We will be based out of a

camp that Bethel has been coming to every year for 10 years. There is Revival breaking out among the

local pastors who have set up a network of churches including the Ensenada area. Teams of BSSM

students will minister as worship leaders, children’s ministers and have opportunity to preach, teach

and give words of knowledge in local church meetings. Open Heavens are over the area and there is

an expectancy for the supernatural in the community. We will also minister on the streets with prophetic

art, treasure hunts, drama and many other forms of outreach. We will visit the legendary Revolution

Street for a large evening crusade using various local churches to assist us in reaching out to the lost.

This is a time of experiencing community on a team, personal freedom and God breaking out. Come

and experience being used by God to love the poor, love on tons of children, heal the sick, the blind,

the lame, and encourage Pastors as we partner with them to see Revival change a nation. We will end

the trip with a blow up service at a sister church in southern California, hang out on the beach and

enjoy how good our God is. You will be forever changed!!!

Tijuana, Mexico.  It's going down!

Tijuana was actually one of over 40 trips to choose from.  Some of the other trips were to crazy places like Russia, Central Asia, Japan and New Zealand.  Of those 40+, we had to pick 5 just in case they couldn't fit everyone in their top pick.  Fortunately for me Tijuana was my top pick which made me super psyched!  I cannot wait to see what God does while our team is there!  One thing's for sure; He is going to blow up my expectations and show me how good He really is, and how much He loves people.

My housemates are going to some crazy places too.  My roommate Ethan is going to England.  Adam is going to Alabama.  Connor is going to Croatia.  Justin is going to the Philippines.  John is going to Tijuana with me, and Sam still doesn't know where he's going yet.  I am so looking forward to coming back from our trips and sharing with each other stories of what God did.  March 27 can't come soon enough!
