Have you ever sat around thinking you need to experience something “more” in your life?  Have you ever dreamed of taking a vacation during the height of winter to a warmer climate?  Have you ever sat in church and listened to  the stories of others who have gone on great mission trips and thought that you could never do what they are doing…….well, maybe it is time for an exciting change in your life! 

          Can you swing a hammer, wield a paintbrush, or eye a level?  Are you skilled in the areas of medicine, dental, or optical?  Can you preach, share your testimony, or pray for one in need?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, we pray that you will join us January 13th - 19th, 2010 for “Med-Fest & More”.   We will be heading down to Aldama, Mexico on Thursday, January 14th to begin ministering to the people in the Aldama area.  Our ministry will be two fold: we will minister through free medical assistance and we will minister through sharing the Gospel message of Jesus Christ on the 15th, 16th, and 17th.  On the morning of Monday, January 18th, we will pack up the vans and head back to Harlingen, TX.  This is what makes up the “Med-Fest” part of this event and explains why we are praying for medical personnel and evangelists to join us. 

          So, why are we praying for construction workers?  Well, we actually have some physical labor we need done on the Aldama camp in preparation for the Mexico Pastor’s Conference which will take place in April 2010.  There are a few buildings that will need to be constructed in order to facilitate the 2,000 Mexican pastors and leaders we are expecting to attend the conference. We need your help with these projects.

          Wait, there’s still more!  Does a horse race sound exciting to you?  Do you like the taste of barbacoa, a Mexican style beef barbeque?  Would you like to give prizes to the Mexican children who come to play the carnival games while their mother or father receives medical attention?  All of this is available to you at “Med-Fest & More”!  For the cost of $425.00 per person we will provide you with transportation from Harlingen, 3 meals a day, and dormitory housing.  Bring your bible, sleeping bag, pillow, and your passport.  It will be a fun time and we hope you won’t miss out!
