Violence in Mexico

Hello,

As some of you may know there has been a rise in the violence in Mexico lately. We are concerned not just for our trip but for the people and missionaries that live there.
-Please be praying for the safety of the missioaries.
-Please pray for the salvation and transformed lives of those causing this violence.
-Please pray that God will keep a window open for us this summer to go and further his truth, love, and gospel!

Each year our trip works under New Tribes Mission. We travel with them, work for them, and follow their guidance during our trip. Thus, I have confidence and peace in the experience and leadership of NTM to make decisious for us on safety. They will tell us if it is too dangerous to go down there and work with them this summer. As long as they believe it is safe for us to come work with them I trust we will be fine.

So we continue to prepare and plan for this trip. There is still 5 months of time for God to work and the violence to decrease. We plan on going unless we hear a no from our leadership at NTM.

Please keep praying,
-Josh for the Team
