Mexico Mission Trip to Oaxaca

First Baptist Church of Conroe will be traveling to Oaxaca, Mexico, June 16-21, 2008. Our plan is to work with two local churches and their pastors to construct a greenhouse at one location in the mountains and two cinder block walls for a children's ministry at a mission church next to the city dump. For a trip brochure containing the itinerary, flight information, and cost click here.
The first two photos are from the children's ministry led by Pastor Victor and show where the new cinder block walls will be constructed. The next four photos are from La Cumbre in the mountains. We also visited this location during our pre-trip visit and plan to construct another greenhouse when we return. The photo of the man and woman with the plastic bags are showing you some of the toys Pastor Marcelino was able to buy with funds provided by First Baptist Conroe and Buckner. The final two photos were taken by our friend Jon from Buckner International. Justin and I were visiting the impressive ruins of Monte Albán, the ancient Zapotec capital.
