Trip Set-Up

by Adam McLane | June 22, 2018 11:22 AM

Ronnie and Adam arrived in Ensenada yesterday where we met with our host church, Pastor Luis Ochoa, and had set-up meetings. Later on Thursday night we met with our church partners and had an opportunity to review all of our plans as well pray together for the week to come. This meeting was full of joy and laughter as everyone gets to know one another. 

Also last night Ronnie and I got to meet three new staff members that will be serving alongside us this week as assistant trip leaders: Joe, Adriana, and Luisa. 

The churches in Ensenada are very excited to receive our teams and can't wait to meet them on Saturday night. 

Trip Set-Up

We made it!

by Adam McLane | June 24, 2018 8:06 AM

We got tucked in at our host location and the trip officially got underway at about 11:00 pm last night. Yesterday we overcame flight delays, some major traffic crossing the border, skipped a stop because of a bull fight, and suffered a bus break down that took 3 hours to replace. All the while our church partners patiently waited, prayed for us, and kept dinner warm to greet us. 6 hours late and all smiles. Welcome to PPM Baja! Viva!

We made it!
