As I wrote to you Friday, it was difficult to believe that our week was already drawing to a close. Yet God proved faithful–our week saw at least ten teens, prisoners, children, and women come to faith in Christ. We arrived safely, got through without major sickness, ministered every day, and received all of our [...]

We are all in Houston and ready to leave for our next flight at 5:01pm local time–6:01pm Eastern.
I’m going to do my best to update you on the last forty-eight hours while we’re here at the airport!

It’s our last day of ministry. It’s hardly sunk in, I think, for most of us. God has been so good and proven faithful time after time after time both in ways almost expected and in ways completely unexpected (our luggage arriving, the rain leading sports ministry to visit the local youth jail, etc.).
Another one bites the dust

Today has been–well, interesting, to say the least. As you probably know, we have two fifteen-passenger vans and a minivan. Mr. Eagan drove one of those vans this morning, bringing sports ministry to the Alliance Church and some women from Campestre over to our current ministry site. The other two were headed over to our [...]

Greetings again from sunny Reynosa! Actually, the weather these last couple of days has been quite rainy, and many of the lower areas, including the new neigborhood we’re ministering in, have had very muddy streets. But our ministry went on!
Today I’m bringing you reports from a couple of other people (not just me this time) about the events [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Yesterday’s evening ministries were slightly dampened by the heavy rains all over Reynosa. They had little effect on VBS, which was inside, although Teen Ministry was unable to meet in the plaza and had to go downstairs at the same church VBS was meeting in. Flooding was mild, at best, and we had little trouble [...]

Our first day of ministry is halfway through! But first, a travel update-

SWAM Arizona has safely arrived in Dallas and everyone from Atlanta has also made it safely to their airport in Houston. We are currently in the process of finalizing flight assignments but we should, God willing, all get into McAllen at different times through out the evening.
There are some weather-related delays in Houston but no [...]
SWAM Arizona: the Saga Continues

The SWAM team has officially been split into two groups: eight of us are here in sunny (okay, it’s 10:40pm as I write this) Phoenix, Arizona, and the rest are safely landed in Atlanta, Georgia.
As you probably know, our flight from Charlotte to Houston was diverted midflight and we found ourselves back in Charlotte until around [...]
