Praise to the Lord of the harvest!!

God has blessed the work in Mexico with many fruitful disciples. One of the sisters from Guadalajara (a city about 3 hours away) is seeking support to go to AIM this fall. I know that these are hard times for all but if God has blessed you with a few extra dollars this would be a good cause. Here is her support letter:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I’m writing this letter to ask if you would be interested in helping me attend the Adventures in Missions (AIM) program in Lubbock, Texas this fall.

But first let me introduce myself. My name is Sofia Mendoza, and I’m about to graduate from high school in Guadalajara, Mexico. Almost 3 years ago our church, here in Guadalajara, began receiving AIM students. Their work and dedication to Christ and his church has had a great impact on my life and on the lives of many of my friends. The sacrifices they’ve made, giving two years of their life to share the good news in a foreign land, has inspired me to do the same. Of course, this hasn’t been an easy decision. After much prayer and thought, however, I’ve committed the next two years of my life to serving God through AIM.

The Adventures in Missions program is part of the Sunset International Bible Institute, located in Lubbock, Texas. It is an apprentice program that offers young people, like myself, wonderful Bible training before sending us out to intern under missionaries around the globe. It is a focused effort by and for Christian young men and women to work together to strengthen the church and bring the lost to Christ. Like the AIMers that blessed my life, I see this as my opportunity to make a difference in this world.

I am working hard to save as much as I can for this mission. I am also asking the churches here in Guadalajara to help with my support. But I know I will need other partners on this journey. Would you please consider joining me. I have been told that I should plan for a monthly budget of $625 as well as having one-time expenses of $2,000. Even if it is only a few dollars, I could use your help.

In turn, I will commit to keeping you up to date on this journey. I will write and send emails, as well as photos when possible.

Thank you for your consideration.

Your sister in Christ,
Sofia Mendoza
