Baja 2007 Recap

FYO Baja 2007 (Team One) may have been the best overall youth missions team experience I have had! The key factors that made this true include:

• A great group of young people from Texas, Oregon, Washington, California and Oklahoma.


• Great leaders -- the youth leaders, volunteers, interpreters, FYO interns, missionaries and Mexican hosts came together to form a unified team -- The common vision, unity and mutual support was evident throughout.


• Great things took place: Many people came to faith in Christ. We completed the building of the trusses for the Bible school. We saw miracles happen. The people on the team were impacted deeply.


• The trip was well structured: We hardly wasted a moment -- between projects and the ministry we kept busy while having fun all along the way.


• Deep friendships were made -- Everyone got along really well -- deep and lasting relationships were built.


• On top of all of this, everyone stayed healthy and made it back home safely.

Sure we had our challenges -- dangerous driving, small injuries, hot weather, lack of sleep, etc...but the joy was far greater than the difficulty.

Please keep missionary Bill in your prayers regarding the serious injury he suffered to his foot. This is a grave concern that needs our prayers.
