emerge – beyond your limits!

I just saw some information about the internships for this coming year. The program is called emerge, and it’s only a part of what’s happening short-term wise with CAM. This is more focused on individuals who want to come down and really experience the culture and get involved.

Let me just include a few excerpts regarding Mexico, and if you want to read about other opportunities in Mexico or other countries, you can download the pdf. There are some exciting opportunities here!

Back in the SCCEFC

Jim Mexico, Ministry glimpses 0

We had a great time yesterday at the South Calgary Chinese Evangelical Free Church. I was happy to have the chance to give the message, and join in the worship. We’ve been there a few times now – it’s just down the road from our church, and we’ve enjoyed it each time. Everyone was very friendly, and it’s always obvious that a lot of prayer and seeking God’s direction has gone into the service.

I even had the chance afterwards to talk to a couple of people about the internship program, called InVision, coming up this summer in Mexico. I think this is one of the most exciting opportunities in Latin America right now, so it was great to have the chance to talk to someone about it.

By the way, there’s also a girl from the team I was with last summer (remember Meximize?) that is planning to go on InVision. Please keep her in your prayers as well, as she prepares to share with her church family on April 9th about how God is leading her.

Anyway, we left the SCCEFC with hopes to come back soon and maybe spend a little more time. I almost didn’t get the chance to speak – I was filling in for the pastor who ended up being there anyway. But it’s always good to see him, so if he didn’t mind the break we’re all happy! 🙂
