Community Centre Event (April 2011) (video)

Jim Ministry glimpses, Prayer and Praise, Video Blogs 1

Here’s a quick look back at the special event we had at the community centre a week and a half ago. The event came at the end of another series of classes, which began in January.

We don’t have video of the whole event, just a few clips. But it will give you an idea of some of the eclectic activities that go on there.

The parts that concern us especially: first, you’ll see Jim during a keyboard class presentation, which was a take off of the Mexican version of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?. You’ll also see Shari making a presentation to the women that have come to the baking/desserts class (Amigas del Alma), which, as you can see, is very popular.

Uncharted Waters Sports Ministry

Jim Ministry glimpses, Prayer and Praise 1

We have a big… very big… event coming up in January! On the 5th to the 7th of January, the sports ministry known as Uncharted Waters will be returning to Ixtapaluca.

Uncharted Waters has actually been here more than once, running evangelistic sports camps. And they’re coming to do it again – but this time, with a twist.

The purpose of the camp will not only be to reach out to kids here in Mexico City. It will also be to train Mexican workers from other parts of the country to run their own sports camps. So it will be 15 years of international experience from Uncharted Waters added to the national experience, enthusiasm and people-power of Mexican leaders!

Now regularly doing over 100 camps a year, Uncharted Waters wants to see this ministry grow exponentially.

So we’re hoping to be hosting a lot of people come January! If you know Mexican Christian workers who would be interested in this ministry, point them to the poster below. Our coworker Rod has also posted more information in Spanish here.

This event will be three days long, hosted at our community centre in Jesús María, Ixtapaluca – Tiempo de Vivir. There is no cost.

Context – Community Centre and Meeting Place (video)

Jim Mexico, Ministry glimpses, Video Blogs 1

Decided to show you a little bit of context today. In this video you’ll be able to see what the community centre looks like now from the outside, and part of it from the inside. Also, you can see the building (on the outside) where we meet on Sunday mornings (and other times – like for the women’s Bible study Tuesday mornings and the Chronological Bible Study Tuesday nights) and the street where it lives. Just a quick look! 🙂
