This is our Mission Letter that we are sending out for this year’s short term mission trip to Rio Verde, Mexico. To all of you, we welcome and thank you immensely for your financial support and prayer. We are excited to be able to have a short term mission opportunity once again, and look forward to keeping everyone updated on our Mission to Mexico this year.

Greetings from the Navarros!

We hope this message finds you in good health and happy circumstances.

We are preparing to head on our sixth mission trip to Mexico this coming August. As most of you are aware, it’s been a few years since we have gone on a mission trip with our church, and we are excited about doing it again! This year, we will not be returning to San Pedro outside of Merida, although we do hope to return there and see our brothers and sisters in Christ again. This time we are heading to our denomination’s retreat center, Camp Maranatha, in Rio Verde, a few hours outside of San Luis Potosi in central Mexico. The center is used for various children’s camps and regional seminars throughout the year. We will stay in and work on repairs of what is known as “The Big House” where we will also be residing during our stay. Living there will surely assist in the motivation to get the work done! (Especially replacing the leaky roof!)

How you can help!

Prayers - we are flying from Houston to San Luis Potosi, so we will not be anywhere near the border areas that have been so dangerous lately. But we always covet prayers for safe travel and the well-being of all of us on the trip.

Funding - it does cost money to fly to Mexico and to purchase materials. We would appreciate a donation of any amount, as it all adds up and helps cover the costs. We have already raised some money through fund raisers at our church, including a spaghetti dinner in February and a Chili Cookoff in March (yummy!). We have a festival planned for June with burgers, hotdogs, and BBQ (that would be the noun, not the verb!), plus games and fun stuff for the whole family!

You can donate by sending a check made out to ‘Huntersville ARP Church’, and note “Mission Trip” in the memo field, OR you can visit our church website at http://huntersvillearp.org and donate via credit card on the top right of the home page.

As with all missionary efforts, it’s the little work done by the many that ‘adds up’ so any and all donations, regardless of amount, are surely appreciated. If you want more details, let us know! I expect one or both of us will blog about the trip while we are down there or right after we get back, so keep an eye on theimperfectblog.com or anthonynavarro.com for highlights.

Blessings, Love, and Thanks for your prayer and financial support!

-Anthony & Laura
