So here I am in my new 'home' in Ensenada, Mexico. I have officially been here for over two months and the Lord has been doing such amazing things. My team is made up of people from four different countries(Australia, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United States)and we represent three different languages(French, English and Spanish). Although we have different characteristics and different backgrounds, we have come together, and have united for one purpose, TO KNOW CHRIST, and TO MAKE HIM KNOWN TO THE NATIONS. These past few months have been a time to unify and to grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. We have been in discipleship training and on the 2nd of September, we are going out into the nations to bring to the hope of Christ to a world in need. Destination: Colombia and Panama. All eleven team members including three leaders are walking in FAITH and venturing out into the unknown. However, in order to go, our team has to raise $27,500. Often in teams, the leaders give each person and specific amount to raise, however the funds are much harder to raise for certain people, so we as a team decided to take on the burdens of those in need. With this mentality, we have been striving to meet our goal. We have finally raised $12,500, and this is a huge blessing from the Lord, but I want to encourage each and every one of you to pray and see if there is a way for you to help our team reach out to the people of Panama and Colombia.
If there is a possibility that you or another in your family is willing and able to help send us to Panama and Colombia, please make out your checks to Youth With a Mission. These checks are tax-deductible and we can send you a receipt. Then, please send the check to this address:

Lauren, Every time I read your comments,I am amazed at what God is teaching you... but then I wonder why I should be .. He is the greatest teacher!I was especially touched by your comments about the brothers. I hope that it will somehow be passed on to FCS and to all the seniors that are getting ready to go to college in a few days.It is so easy to swayed into looking at the great and beautiful for our worth, when the weak and insignificant have sooo much more to teach us... we are humbled by their simplicity and love for each other. Thank you for reminding me what is important in life.. you help me leave my business behind for alittle while each time I visit your site!I will be praying that God will provide for this upcoming trip... Much love and many prayers, Mrs. Hedrick
