Hello everyone, this summer, for about a week, my sister Alexandra and I are planning on going to the Rancho 3M orphanage in Guadalupe, Mexico with the group from our church. While there we will be doing various projects around the "ranch" that are needed for its upkeep and improvement. Past projects have included painting, bathroom renovation, fencing, and much more. We also like to spend time with the children giving them some much needed attention and showing them the love of Jesus. This is a Christian run orphanage and school, and our church has a good relationship with them, and has gone on many of these trips. The ranch relies a lot on short term missions trips (such as ours) for getting these projects done as well as ministering to these kids (as much as the staff adores them, there are many kids and only so many staff members so the time we are able to spend with the kids is very valuable).
Please, please, please be praying for Alexandra, me, and the rest of the people on the team. Please be praying that whoever the Lord wants on the trip will be there, and that He will keep us all safe from harm. Please also be praying for Rancho 3M and the children and staff who are there. I will probably be creating a "group" that you can join if you would like to keep you updated on the trip details as well as posting some specific prayer requests
In addition, while the trip is not as expensive as some missions trips can be, it will be somewhat costly. The costs, including airfare, will be a total of $750 per person due in various increments at various dates. The first payment of $200 each is due on April 15, $300 each on June 3, and the rest on June 24. There also could be some miscellaneous costs such as luggage fees. If you would like to help us financially it would be greatly appreciated. You may hand it to me in person or send me a message and I will give you my address. If you would like your donation to be tax deductible either make a check out to Sovereign Grace Church with "Mission Fund" on the memo line or include the adult donor's name with cash if you choose to use that form.
Whether you donate financially or not, please continue to support us and the rest of the team in prayers both before and during our trip. If you like to learn more about Rancho 3M their website is http://www.rancho3m.com/ and they also have a facebook page which they update pretty regularly.
Thanks for reading and for your prayers!
