1st Day in Mexico

This morning we started off our day with Starbucks in Puebla (about 2 hours south east of D.F.). Hmm, Mexico and Starbucks. They have truly figured out how to integrate into a culture and take over.

We gathered and began hearing about history of CCC in Mexico and current dreams of what we would love to see happen here in Mexico City and beyond. A great morning of realizing that if we don't change the way doing things here in Mexico city it would take 400 years to reach the whole scope, about 1 million college students.

The group gathered here is real top shelf; Augustine (National Mexico Director), Steve and Terry Morgan (National Campus Director of Mexico), Jason, Kathy, Alice, Dan and Deane (American living and serving in D.F. and Puebla), Keith (national WSN director), Allan and Karin (WSN orlando), Ken and Andy (Great Plains WSN directors), and Craig (Nebraska state director.) All together it is a group with experience from all over the world, China, Paris, Latin American and beyond. Their passion and innovation to get to each and every student is contagious.

Then after our high powered meeting we headed for the hotel roof for a great Cornelius (Acts) prayer time. We prayed for the city and got sunburned all in one hour.

One of the largest revelations was the Puebla has a costco. Then sad to my stomach we ventured to TGIF's for lunch. All the way to Mexico to get a burger and Fries. Booh.

Then off to the center for some shopping. You'll see in the future some great shots of Isa in this great little dress I bought her. Then we headed to Steve and Terry's to brainstorm and discuss more what will be needed to launch this new ministry to hit all of D.F.:Launch date=Sept 1, 2006. I believe a large dose of intentional prayer, the right leadership team, correct thinking and training, and decoding the city. Oh yeah, let's not forget a supernatural act of God. It is exciting to see that even though we talk about all the right techniques and strategies we believe it will take a movement of God.

Now I'm off to see my fantasy football teams go for the win.
