AWESTRUCK MINISTRIES INCORPORATED INVITES YOU TO BE APART OF OUR CHURCH PLANTING EFFORTS IN BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Ministry Name: Awestruck Ministry Inc.
Event Name: Foundation For His Ministry or Cristo Por Su Mundo
Location: Vicente Guerrero, Baja California Norte, Mexico
Dates: April 22 30th
Objective: This will be our second annual visit to this marvelous desert oasis. We will have the unsurpassed opportunity to be apart of the internal workings at the orphanage called Cristo Por Su Mundo. Here we give our daily attention to inner workings of running an orphanage in northwestern corner of Mexico. Once you have been apart of FFHM you will forever be impacted. Touching the lives of little ones and reaching the lost are interwoven with this experience.
Who is eligible? We welcome husbands and wives with children 15 and up, single men and women of all ages, students and retirees. Skills: Knowing Spanish is a plus but most of the children on the compound are bilingual. We need people who are willing to be servants as cooking, cracking nuts, babysitting, light construction and cleaning are all part of this ministry. Those who apply must be in fairly good health as we will be exposed to the cool Pacific air of April with some light work details. We currently have 12 spaces available.
Cost: $1056.00 per person including airfare from Ft. Myers to San Diego, California.
