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.

"I was a blessing"?? A bit presumptuous, me thinks. Just kidding, I know it was a typo.
Sounds like you guys are helping others broaden their understanding of the christian worldview. Excellent!
Did anyone freak out about your definition of the kingdom of heaven?
wow did I really type that? hehe hmm yes it's been fixed.
Only one person freaked out when I talked about the Kingdom of Heaven. When I asked, "would it be worth it to serve Christ apart from heaven," he said no and sort of made a scene :x. But hey, I told myself the same thing for years. Here's one of my favorite quotes that I presented to the group:
"If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all." (Man or Rabbit? - C.S. Lewis)
