Mexico This is a recurring mission including medical, dental, eye-care, local construction and needs-meeting projects, and 60 or so youth to involve in activities.
A church from Ohio has participated previously, and we are being asked to join in to begin a partnership  with this and other mission opportunities that might develop.  This is a vibrant church in Mexico City, and a closer relationship with them could have mutual benefits.  Language is not an issue, as many of them speak English.  Dios es Amor is a middle class church with many professionals, vibrant worship and mission.  They send a number of students to study at Presbyterian Pan American School every year.  Their youth are also involved in our High School Celebration program.  Pilgrimmage 4th day are especially encouraged to participate in the relationship with this church. Contact Mike Douglas for more information
