We leave this morning for New Horizin Christian school in Acapulco. Very early morning and it will be a long day of travel!
Yesterday was a bit different for us. Instead of working with teachers, Solomon invited us to give a parenting seminar with his home church. If you have followed us in past trips, Dale McLane is our usual “Parent Seminar” leader. But, it was Solomon, our friend, our...
Written by Quentin Carla and Quentin’s plan for Sunday, February 12th was to go with Oliver, the Foreign Affairs Director of ITC, to attend an English language church service at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church. However, after getting ready and going downstairs to...
