| 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.
If you could participate in the Community Outreaches with the following items, it would make it
really special. Don’t worry about having everything perfect for your participation. Things are
more casual in Mexico and the folks will just be happy to have you.
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
4. 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 18 years, we have developed many deep relationships with them.

5. Vacation Bible School
- Sunday Evening - After your mission team’s participation in the main part of the
outreach, the children will be separated and you’ll do your first VBS. This VBS will be a
little shorter than the main ones on Monday-Thursday afternoons. Sunday evening’s VBS
will not have a play time and the songs will be reduced to just one or maybe two. The
VBS is a little shorter so that it fits within the time frame of the evangelistic movie we’ll be
showing to the adults.
- Wednesday Evening - This Outreach is optional. If you choose to do it, the VBS time
will be the same as Sunday’s, however, with the exception of having no crafts or snacks.
If you have any questions regarding your outreach times please feel free to talk with us.
