About Mexico
As many of you know, God has been calling me into missions for a long time. In 2002, I went on my first mission trip to Quito, Ecuador with Brio magazine. I loved the city and experience so much, that I returned in 2003. Once I started at Georgia Southern University and got involved in The Wesley Foundation, I went with them to Costa Rica in 2006 for a mission trip during Spring Break. In 2007 & 2008, I traveled with Wesley to Honduras. I have been out of the country 7 times, 5 of them being mission trips to central and south America. I have always felt a strong call to the people and culture of Latin America and know that it's not finished yet.
When we went to Honduras, we went with Mission On the Move, or MOM. I knew the missionaries who are living there, since they were our neighbors for years. I felt a connection with them and the work they were doing. As I was searching to find something to do for next summer, I felt a tug to ask about interning in Tapachula. I sent an email to Steve & Hope and they agreed to allow me to come be a part of their ministry for a summer!
On their website, they talk about what their mission and purpose is with Tapachula, Mexico.

My responsibilities with this program will have to do with cleaning the houses, doing the children's laundry, helping them with their homework, assisting teams that will come down in the summer, helping MaHopie (Hope) with the grocery shopping and cooking, and probably teaching a few music lessons. This is an unpaid internship that will last from MAY 9 until JULY 24. I will need to raise support to live down there. I am also traveling to Tapachula during the 2010 Spring Break with a GSU team to become familiar with the daily life of being there and getting to know the children beforehand. I am working on support letters to send out to friends and family. If you want one, please ask and let me know and I will get you one.
Please start praying for me. It will take months of preparation and prayer to get ready for this next journey God takes me on. I will update this website leading up to the trips and I hope to update weekly while I am there. Check back for news! Thank you so much!
In Him,
Rebecca
