- OUR SPECIAL EDITION CHRISTMAS 2008 NEWSLETTER NOW ONLINE
- This Christmas holiday will be rougher than normal this year ... please take a moment to read this newsletter and learn more about Christmas in Tijuana.
What can I do or what can we do? Often we hear these questions when people return with us from a day working in our world they become aware and slightly overwhelmed by the conditions they see. Questions like these are often prompted by frustration, a good kind of frustration. You see poverty is an invisible plague to most of us in America and working with us it becomes visible in all of its ugliness.
"What can I do?" is a good question, a healthy question and deserves an honest answer. Why? Because the answer along with the experience you have had can help you reevaluate your values and priorities and that can be good.
Both kids and adults ask this question. Families that join us ask the same question so there are really three different answers. Choose which page applies to you and click on it.
| "WHAT CAN I DO AS A KID?" The question you have asked indicates you have seen the difference between your comfortable world at home in American and the dirty world of poverty across our border. You have asked a healthy question. Even as young as you are there are meaningful things you can do to help ease world poverty. And always remember that because you can't do everything doesn't mean that you can't do something ... and something is always better than nothing at all! Take a read. |
"WHAT CAN I DO AS AN ADULT?" In the gap between our world of affluence in America and their world of poverty in Tijuana we can do a lot of healthy thinking. I have tried to take some time to address this question and fill that gap with some ideas on what can be done by one who sincerely desires to do something about the plague of poverty. I think you will agree that doing something is always better than doing nothing at all. Take a read. |
"WHAT CAN WE DO AS A FAMILY?" If you are interested in looking at this experience you had with us in Mexico as an ongoing family challenge you might click on this page dedicated to the home perspective. A lot of creative ideas to keep the fire going. |

| MISSIONARY ADVENTURES I have a page on my own website that pushes the color and adventure in tribal missions. I've spent my time living the missionary life in the jungle. I'm sure you'll find these adventure photos, videos and pages informative and interesting. |
