Trip overview:
All you join the Reynosa Team will be divided into four Ministry Teams: Worship, Drama, Dance, and Evangelism. The whole team will meet together for a mandatory training and kickoff on Saturday February 6th from 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM. We will meet as one team for the first ninety minutes, then split into Ministry Teams for the last ninety minutes to here from the team leaders more about what each team will be doing. Each Ministry Team will then meet together on their own schedule to develop their part of an evangelistic outreach program that we will take to three locations around a community of colonias in Reynosa where we will be staying in March. The whole team will meet for lunch after church on March 7 to pray and cover last minute details.
March 13 we depart from Grace Community Church at 7:00 AM for Reynosa. We will travel all day. Sunday we will begin our daily cycle of being poured into in the morning, then pouring out into others for the rest of the day. In the morning, we will worship together, minister to each other, then hear from a local pastor. In the afternoons, we will minister to the local families practically. In the evenings we will take an evangelistic program consisting of music, dance, drama, and a short presentation of the gospel to a different location each night. Everyone member of the team will have the opportunity to talk with people who want to know more about the gospel.
