Our days will be divided between worship services, door to door evangelism, working with orphanages, construction, touring the area, visiting local markets, and interacting with the Mexican people - a continuous role!

We plan to return during the wee-hours of Sunday, June 14. At 9:00 a.m., we will close our program with an informal worship service conducted by all the members of the team.
