Back from TJ

As some of you may have known, I went to Tijuana this past week to help out a ministry by the name of La Roca. We aided in various work projects including serving at an orphanage, jail, rehabilitation center (a branch of the La Roca ministry), and some nearby towns.

Most noteworthy perhaps were the lessons that Mark Tannehill and myself were alotted to teach every morning to the group. We chose the general topic of the importance of understanding. The daily lessons were as follows: Monday - General Overview and the Necessity of Serving God with our Mind, Tuesday - Calling Ourselves Truth-seekers, Wednesday - The Weight of our Words, Thursday - Defining Clear Prayer, Friday - The Diciple's Call to Suffer, and lastly Saturday - Defining the Kingdom of Heaven. It was a blessing to be able to offer this study to the others in the group, and it was great being able to solidify my thoughts on many of these issues via a few friendly arguements with fellow team members.

Overall, the trip went very well. The team remained unified and we served our Lord in a practical way. Solo deo gloria.
