Offering for Mexico STM. When it comes to missions, another way that the church can participate is through the act of sending. From August 19 – 26, we will be sending a team of youths to Tijuana, Mexico to build homes for the needy in partnership with Mexico Caravan Ministries. Over this summer, we will be fundraising and asking for people to partner with us in prayer. More details to follow on our fundraising but right now we have the Offering Wall outside of the gym where we would like to encourage brothers and sisters to take an envelope and give that amount in the act of sending this team. If you have any questions, please ask Pastor Darren, Cecilia, or Thomas.
We are equipped through prayer. Check out our new prayer wall at prayer.ccac.church where all are welcomed to post their prayer requests and join in prayer for others. Requests can be posted anonymously or be submitted privately to the pastors. Your requests can also be self-moderated and so you can delete or mark your items as answered at anytime. Submit as many items as you’d like!
