Canada Day Fiesta 2010 (video)

This past Saturday we hosted a Canada Day party for the community of people we know in Jesús María. The party itself was in our neighbourhood. We had a fun time – a little street hockey, a quiz, a game, lots of great food, Canadian music, friends . . . all around good.

This year was a bit unusual because the kids’ birthday parties had "Canadianish" themes too. So it’s been kind of a Canadian season.

It’s actually been three years since we last did this. The first year we were moving, and the next we were in Canada. So here’s the last Canada Day Fiesta we had.

So anyway, here’s a brief view of the party – just under 2 minutes.

Nathanael’s Grad from K3 (video)

Jim Family, Mexico, Video Blogs 2

On Friday Nathanael officially graduated from Kinder 3 (there are 3 years of Kinder in Mexico). His school was Jardín de Niños Elizabeth Catlett.

He actually had his last day of school yesterday, and there’s one more celebratory event at his school Friday morning.

So, in honour of Nathanael’s grad, here are some clips from the whole program. In a lot of the video Nathanael is in the far corner compared to the camera. If you want to watch in HD for a little more detail in full screen, go check out the video at YouTube. Otherwise, in most cases you should be able to find a blond kid in a white suit if you look close enough (although there are a few clips of other classes).

Baptisms – 20 June 2010! (video)

Jim Ministry glimpses, Prayer and Praise, Video Blogs 1

Yesterday was a fantastic day! Two churches got together for a baptismal service, and ten people were baptized! Four of them are a part of our brand new church in Jesús María.

The other church was, of course, Sendero de Vida Santa Barbara.

We enjoyed a great outdoor service, and all ten people gave testimonies. There was Bible reading, music, a devotional on Mat 16:21-26 – but I’ll just let you check out the video.

The service was the same place as last year, a waterpark in Texcoco. And I think the water was colder than last year – but that’s just a guess. 😉

For more, see the pictures over at In the Shadow of Volcanoes.

English Classes and Basketball (video)

I went up to the community centre today and took some video of the interns teaching English and basketball. Here’s a quick 1 minute and 45 seconds from the afternoon, to show you what’s going on…

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! 🙂

A Cold Day in the Pass (video)

Jim Mexico, Video Blogs 3

So on Saturday I went up to the Paseo de Cortés, up in the midst of the volcanos, with the Fry family and the interns who are here for a few weeks from the USA.

It was a pretty cold, wet day, so we didn’t do all we would have done otherwise. But we still had some fun, in spite of a little sleet. Some even went on a zip-line – I don’t think I caught everyone on film, but I caught most, including Daniel Fry. Check it out!
