KidMission is Coming!

Here's How to Prepare:

With the Internet literally at our fingertips, this will be quick and easy!  Have fun learning about Northern Mexico, the city of Monterrey specifically.   Here are a few website links to make things even simpler:

God's work in Monterrey:

Mission To the World's website has great articles on what God is doing in Monterrey (even an article written by Andres Garza, who will be a key speaker this weekend at Christ Community; it's so encouraging, as is appropriate for upper elementary kids and older).  As well, there is a helpful page dedicated to preparing groups to take mission trips to Monterrey, which is where our church will be sending a group of teens and parents next summer, 2015!

Check out the climate, the geography, topography (any ography!).  Read about museums like MARCO - what does that stand for? - and The Museum of Mexican History.

Got ink to spare?  Find and print your favorite photo of Northern Mexico and bring it to KidMission on Sunday morning.  Imagining and actually "seeing" another culture are worlds apart!  Let's close the gap of our understanding. 

This is going to be a marvelously-missional weekend for Christ Community Kids!  May we catch the vision and a glimpse of God's heart for the nations.
