Missions to Mexico
Church Ministry Prep
Printable Version
Several nights during the week you will do some church
ministry at the church you'll be serving at for the week while in
Mexico.  There will be two church ministry  outreaches during the
week (Sunday and Tuesday or Wednesay).  The nights might
vary according to the church schedule where you'll be serving at.  

The first night (Sunday) you will take the children out for their
first V.B.S. after your participation in front of the church.  The
other outreach night (Tues. or Wed.) the children can be taken out
and given a shortened version of VBS (less crafts and snacks).

Generally, the Church Outreach will begin with songs (done by
the church).  After the time of alabanza (songs)  your group will be
introduced.  Your group will sing a couple songs, do a puppet
show, and share a couple testimonies.  Following, an evangelistic
film will be shown (via a video projector & big screen that we
have), or someone from your group, or the site missionary will
preach (we can interpret if you don't have good Spanish
speakers).  After the film, or message, the pastor will wrap up the
Outreach.

You'll need to be prepared to participate in the Church
Outreaches with the following:

1.  Singing a couple Spanish songs

This will be for the church you'll be serving at for the week.  It
works out good to have someone who knows the songs well to
sing into the microphone and have the rest of the group sing
along.

2.  Puppet show

The adults love the puppet shows too.  We have all the
puppets, puppet stage, and scripts for this on cd.  All you'll
need to do is have some ready volunteers for a little practice
after arriving here in Mexico.

3.  Testimonies

At least two volunteers per Church Outreach to share a brief
testimony of how they came to Christ (total of 4 testimonies
needed), or what He is doing in their lives.  For more on what
these testimonies should contain and how they need to be
shared go to:

Other activities

If your group would like they can do dramas or whatever for the
Church Outreach.  Just let us know of your plans and we'll work
them in.

The church you'll be serving at will welcome you with wide
open arms and trust you beyond belief.  This is due in part to their
trust in us as missionaries.  Because we have been working in
the area for about twelve years, we have developed many deep
relationships with them.  Also, each month we visit each pastor
with our "Pastor & Church Mobile Resource Library".  We in turn,
will trust you to share the truth in love.  

If you have any questions regarding your outreach times please
feel free to talk with us.
