While i was in Oaxaca, Mexico we not only dedicated the building and all of the new high school students enrolled in Armonia's program, but we also got to see some of the students that we worked alongside two years ago, who are now in Mexico City, pursuing college educations. Through the help of Armonia and U.S. churches, some of these students are the 1st students of their tribe's history to ever attend college. We really do take for granted all of the opportunities we have in the U.S. and it is great to be a part of serving a ministry that desires "justice for the oppressed" and to "make things right" in honor of our redemptive King.
We did also plan our next summer missions trip back to Oaxaca, which now thanks to the student residence hall that we helped build, we can now take up to 60 adults and students next summer. Our goal is to have several churches from Titusville join us, as we look to build either another residence hall or a community center in Oaxaca. The dates for the trip are June 17-26th 2010, so mark it down if you are interested.
