Galatians 5:6 “Faith working through love.”

Leaders: Matt Nisbet and Michael Wilton

Adults: Carolyn Corstorphine, Michele Duncan, Laura French, Rachel McIntyre, Greg Niven Michelle Niven, Jamie Rouleau, Thomas Shelby, Anthony Soto, Craig Tomlin, Steve Weiss

Details: Partnering with Union Rescue Mission to serve the needs of inner-city communities in LA/ Skid Row/Watts/MacArthur Park and Imperial Courts areas, both materially and spiritually. Team members will likely experience settings that may be uncomfortable, but will have the opportunity to bring love and compassion where there has mostly been emptiness and disdain.

Praises: 1) 1 - Great students and leaders--and a bigger team than usual! 2) It is still early, but thinking all needed resources will be available. 3) Their host will be able to accommodate our bigger team size. Whew!

Prayer Requests: 1) Adult-student ratio would remain in place, or that they would add more great adults. 2) All ministry arrangements would work out with their bigger team. 3) Lives of kids, adults, homeless, and gang members are all changed for the better.

Praises: Many TKA staff on the trip this year- and for the first time in years, there is a staff

member on every worksite. New house plans (last year) and updated manual (this year)

will make the houses easier to build. Recently purchased a storage container in Mexico so

we can start storing some of our items in Mexico (and not have to bring back and forth in

semis every year).

Prayer Requests:

Unity as a Leadership Team (and physical health and mental stamina as we

prepare)

Safety and health for all on the trip

Mexico/U.S. Border- no issues and no closure

More adult volunteers and enough vehicles

Chapels: that God would bless our student band and give them joy as they lead

worship. Also for three staff members that are sharing testimonies and for the

Talent Show on Tuesday Night.

No rain!!

Pastors in Tecate: Pastor Francisco, Eric, and Jose

Protection against Tech Issues (that computers, printers, Google Drive, etc all run

smoothly)

Logistics of getting our supplies across the border (both into Mexico and upon the

return in to the U.S.)

God would prepare all of our hearts: the families we are building for, parents &

students participating, leaders

16 Families we will be building houses for; growing relationships with them and

that they will be blessed

Children we will be ministering to through Kids Club- that many would come to

know the Lord

Women coming to Family & Health-that they would be blessed physically as well as

spiritually

Youth to be ministered to through the Soccer Outreach

Kindness, support, and encouragement on all the sites
