Redlands Church of Christ is going to City of Children

More than twenty adults and teens from the Redlands Church of Christ in Redlands, California are teaming up to travel for a weeklong mission trip this summer. Our mission is to travel to the City of Children in Ensenada, Mexico. City of Children is a home for abandoned children. They currently provide good housing, good food and a good education for over 100 children. By traveling to Mexico in July, we will be following the example of Christ, and caring for “the least of these.” We are trying to bring love and happiness back into the lives of hurting children. The purpose of our visit is to be a friend and an example of Jesus to a child. Our hugs and attention may be the love that helps heal a broken heart. During our week, we may be serving the Lord by building church facilities, homes for the poor, providing medical, dental and optometry clinics, classes, Vacation Bible Schools, Gospel meetings, food relief for the poor, barbering, meals and visits.

While we are excited and blessed with this opportunity, we cannot do it on our own. We need prayer and financial support to help cover costs like dorms, transportation, food and service projects while in Mexico. Please visit our website for more information on our upcoming mission trip and to see how you can help at www.redlandscoc.org. Every dollar counts and makes a difference for “the least of these”. You can also check out the City of Children’s website at www.cityofchildren.com.

City of Children Trip – Summer 2010

As you have heard from the announcements at church, we are planning a week long visit to the City of Children in the summer of 2010. We are trying to build a committment list (something a bit more than a simple interest list). We are hoping to have a group of around 40 people to go and serve the children at the City of Children. We would be putting on a VBS for the children during our stay as well as helping improve the facilities. We need to apply in August for a week next summer. We are going to request one of the following weeks in 2010 based on availability: July 19 – July 23; July 26 – July 30; and/or August 2 – August 6.

If we do not have enough numbers from our church we will reach out to other churches of Christ in the Inland Empire to join our group. If you are willing to commit to this endeavor, please e-mail or call Jeff Partain so we can add your name to our list. We are hoping that with almost a year notice, those who are interested can secure the free time to help with this service project. Obviously, there are always last minute emergencies and unforeseen circumstances that can preclude someone from coming, but if you are willing and able, please join us on this mission trip. We already have about a dozen people who have expressed a committment to this cause.
