HIDALGO, MEXICO CITY

This outreach in the middle of downtown Mexico City was rough. We
ministered to street kids, homeless street kids hooked on inhalants.
We just had to bear down and do it and not think to much, it was quite
sad, as well as uplifting hard to explain but these kids were so happy
that someone was loving on them. They enjoyed the plays, one kid got
up and explained how he needed love in his life and wanted God and
Jesus to be with him. He encouraged the others to except Christ
as well. We feed them, gave out toys and mostly had fun with them.
Many pictures speak for them selves. 8 teams went out over two
weekends and feed over 1000 people. Not counting all the candy and
snacks.





BETY, A GREAT TEAM PLAYER

WE PERFORMED SOME INTERACTIVE PLAYS






SOME OF THESE CAPTURED MOMENTS HAVE NO WORDS

GOOD TIMES BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK

Before Christmas break Rhema provided a day of fun, fellowship and
Great Mexican food. We, as every year were given piggy banks to paint
and decorate to our own taste, along with a mega potluck. To see grown
macho dudes hand painting a piggy bank was fun enough but we also
hand a great potluck. We had time to hang out, laugh, ask each other
questions...Like the guy who where's all white, really everyday WHITE,
white shoes, socks gloves, pants, shirt, hat you name it. I asked, he
answered... It was a good answer.
The food was out of this world, Tamales Oaxaca, Chicken Mole,
Tinga, and all the side stuff. Everyone had a great day! Classes resume
January 8th, 2007
It was really fun to see my classmates enjoying themselves doing
something out of the ordinary, we laughed at each others Piggy Banks
and were in awe of those that made masterpieces. That's the man in
white, Tony with the purple piggy bank.
A lot of creative people enjoying the day.
