Team has arrived

by Rob Landry | October 21, 2013 10:33 AM

Our team arrived on Saturday and hit the ground running and we began by visiting San Xavier mission that is about 240 years old. This area used to be part of Mexico so it was interesting to see the history of the Tucson area.

Sharing our Testimonies

by Rob Landry | October 21, 2013 11:30 AM

We had a great day Sunday worshipping in the morning at Westside Church of God. J.T and Steve shared their testimonies, For Lunch we ate at the famous Guero Canelo restaurant and had caramelos and Pollo Asada. In the evening we drove 40 miles south of Tucson to "the country" for the Catalina Baptist Assn annual meeting. We were able to share with many people the importance of missions and the guest speaker spoke about the importance of prayer especially in Tucson where only about 5 percent of the population has a personal relationship with God! At the end of the meeting everyone there prayed for our mission trip to Mexico

An Incredible night in the plaza
Altar Plaza Monday Night

Event in the Plaza

by Rob Landry | October 22, 2013 9:44 AM

The Holy Spirit was at work tonight in Altar, Sonora. Incredible. At least 30 people from 5 countries gave their lives to Christ. His presence was so strong many men were weeping for joy and crying out to the Lord. Our team prayed over groups of 10 to 15 people at a time 45 minutes after the event ended. Pray for us today as we head for the fishing village of Desemboque This morning. In a few minutes we are going to have breakfast with Pastor Jesus and his family in their home. Pastor will be going with us to help with the many repair projects. Tonight is also the Men's service at the church so we are stopping in Caborca to but something they normally don't get to eat for dinner tonight. "Carne asada" or grilled beef.After last night we are all ready and seeing what God is going to do next!

Off the Grid

by Rob Landry | October 22, 2013 9:48 AM

In Desemboque we will be "Off the Grid" and will have very little access to the internet. WE WILL find a way to post something either later today or tomorrow so keep checking in and leave notes of encouragement for the team. God is at work and we can't wait to share some of those stories with you!

Raising the Roof!

by PPM Staff | October 24, 2013 2:03 PM

While we continue our work building a fence at the church, we are also building roofs on houses that currently do not have a roof and are, therefore, open to the elements. We are so thankful for the good weather that is allowing us to do so much of this outdoor work. PTL! Tonight the church will be hosting a closing celebration and we will be inviting the entire community. What a blessing to be able to come together and celebrate God's goodness in fellowship with one another. We will update our journal with more photos once we are back in the States. Thank you for you prayers during our week of ministry in Arizona and Mexico!
