Community Outreaches Prep
Two nights during the week (Sunday & Wednesday, Wednesday
is option
) you will do Community Outreaches at the specially
church you'll be serving at for the week while in Mexico.  There will
be two Community  Outreaches during the week (Sunday &
Wednesday).  

The first night (Sunday) you will take the children out for their
first V.B.S. after your team's participation in front of the church.  
The other outreach night, which will be on Wednesday, the children
will be taken out just like on Sunday, however will be given a
shortened version of VBS (less crafts and snacks).

Generally, the Community Outreaches begin with songs (done by
the church).  After the song time your group will be introduced.  
Your group will come to the front of the church and 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 (we provide all this and the movie).  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. If singing a few songs is a problem for your group, don't
worry, we can help out or this can be omitted or changed for a
drama.  

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 Community 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:
Giving Your Testimony

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 17 years, we have developed many deep relationships
with them.   

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