Frozen North Meets Baja Sunshine

Welcome Home played host in February to a group of Saskatchewans who were looking not only for an escape from their frozen winter landscape, but a way to serve and share the love and blessings of God with folks here in Mexico.  A group of forty-six hearty souls from the East Side Church of God of Swift Current, SK, made the 3-day bus journey to Vicente Guerrero. Many were taking their first-ever missions trip, some where old hands; but all were blessed through their ministry here.

The group was based at Welcome Home but worked with Canadian missionary Erma Fennell on a project in the community of Diaz Ordaz. In their four work days, the group erected a community center that will be used in a variety of ways for the needy people of that area. The Saskatchewan group was extremely well organized and worked like a well-oiled machine to complete the project. 

Tremendous thanks to team leaders Earl and Trish Braun for orchestrating the travel and project logistics. And thanks, as well, to Pastor Kevin and Joyce Snyder for joining the team and modeling servant leadership.

We at Welcome Home are blessed to have made these new friends, and we anticipate future partnership together with the fine folks of East Side Church of God!

  1. Those of us from East Side Church of God, Swift Current were blessed to have such wonderful hospitality and such a wonderful place to stay at Welcome Home! We appreciate the friendships made with the Welcome Home folks and are excited to see what God has in store for us for potential future partnerships together. May God continue to bless the Welcome Home ministry and its servants. We are thankful to Steve and Jackie and the rest of the crew for their wonderful hearts and spirit towards missions and the people in the Vicente Guerrero area. May God bless this ministry richly!

  2. Muchas gracias, Dianne. It’s a great encouragement to hear from you and to know that you are thinking of us still :-) . We do hope and pray that this will be the first of many opportunities to work together for God’s Kingdom and the people of Mexico. Dios le bendiga. Jackie & Steve
