Serve Trip: Reynosa | January 2022
Our first of four Serve Trips to Reynosa this year was an incredible start to the year due to….
A team of 42 people, the largest team we’ve had in over two years
16 first-timers to Reynosa
14 women, the most we’ve ever had on a team to Reynosa
Two married couples, one father & son, one mother & son (first time to ever have this combo!), one father-in-law & son-in-law, and two adult brothers
23 faithful Reynosa veterans, who have joined for many Serve Trips
18 young (and strong) adults from the Table, the young adults ministry at Austin Ridge
Amazing project team leaders who taught, led, and encouraged well
A team of 3 chefs (the most chefs we’ve ever had) who cooked every meal for this hungry army of servants
Each team member wrote a prayer request on a bookmark and swapped with a fellow team member to cover them in prayer over the weekend
Safety traveling to and from Mexico and while working on the job sites
Hearing our team members share scriptures at meal time that they’ve treasured in their heart…long ones, too!
Playing games and doing puzzles after dinner late into the night (for some folks at least)
Being flexible (always with a smile) as needed to the weather when it decided to rain all day on Friday, and still getting plenty of work done inside at the Blue School
The Blue School (the high school building) that we have been building for the past year is finally…painted BLUE!
A team serving at Mt. Moriah Church in the Blue School neighborhood
Friendships forming and servant-leaders developing….that’s the best part.
We have three more Serve Trips (+ the Medical Mission trip) on the books for 2022 and all are open for registration. You can head over to our Reynosa Trips page to learn more about these trips.
