CCA Merida 08

[Dear CCA 11th Grade Parents]

This has certainly been a full and challenging beginning to our 07-08 school year. It is hard to believe that we are already starting a brand new school year. There are so many amazing opportunities made available for outreaches from our school community this year. I know all your students are involved in some way in athletics, performing arts, local outreaches as well as maintaining a rigorous academic schedule. We are most excited about the spiritual opportunity for our 11th grade students to develop an expanded world view and heart for sharing God’s love through our 11th Grade class mission trip to Merida, Mexico.

The dates for this mission experience have been scheduled for June 1st – June 10th, 2008, so please mark your calendars now. The cost for this trip will be $1200.

This trip will certainly provide you the opportunity to allow your student’s faith to be tested, stretched and refined. As we pray for His leading, direction, and calling, we are also petitioning for his abundant provision for our students to go, and for our outreaches to Tabi and Hocava. Tabi and Hocava are two villages in Merida that we have connected with and ministered at in June 2007. We hope to return and install much needed wells for drinking water and/or help to build an extension to the meeting space needed, as part of our class trip. There will also be opportunities to visit classes and minister at different high school. We asked that you will prayerfully consider your student’s involvement and participation in this mission trip.

We will be partnering once again with our missionary, Mr Robert Aguayo and his family, CCA Merida and Calvary Chapel Merida for this upcoming mission trip. Please check out our mission trip blog weekly for all registration info, forms, tentative travel plans, itinerary and updates: http://www.ccamerida08.blogspot.com/.

Thank You.

‘For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ (Mat 25:40)
