From March 6th to the 16th, a team from CrossWay Community Church in Harrison, Ohio traveled to La Paz, Mexico to serve alongside American Baptist Missionaries David and Joyce Reed, the churches of the Mexican Baptist Convention of Southern Baja, and the people of the city of La Paz.
The team took over 500 pounds of new clothing, toiletries, and school supplies to distrute to those in need in the outskirts of the city, and was able to provide staple food items (rice, beans, oil, salt, tuna, etc.) to nearly 50 families. They also partnered with a breakfast program called Care For Kids, La Paz to provide bagged lunches for over 90 children in the village of Vista Hermosa to take to school.
Much of the team's time was spent building relationships while working side by side with pastors and church members at the Theological School. New security measures were installed to address recent costly break-ins, and a shower was added to the bathroom facility to better accomodate the students that come from as far as Cabo San Lucas (a 2.5 hour drive) for theological training.
More information about short-term mission opportunities can be found at the International Ministries website, or you may contact the team from CrossWay Community Church to learn more about their experience at www.discovercrossway.com.
