The past two years we've gone to Mexico and it's changed lives. Join us again this year as we go back to Chapala/Ajijic, Mexico one hour south of Guadalajara. Since we've been there and worked with the Church of the Holy Spirit and Love in Action orphanage there has been great changes. There is a ministry there that is powerful and powerfully growing. They have a new facility now for the orphanage use. The church had developed and grown and we want to help them out. I've connected with Anabel, director of Love in Action and the pastors wife and they are planning on us.

There is nothing like connecting with those kids and there is no experience like our street meetings in the poorest nieghborhoods. Two years ago we went to three different neighborhoods where there are many children and presented our puppet show, skits and the gospel message. Most of these kids come from homes full of drug and alcohol abuse. Many made a personal decision for Jesus Christ in their lives and the church has been able to follow up on those decisions.

The trip cost is approximately $1500 and includes airlines, hotels, food and supplies. Please sign up ASAP as we will begin fundraising right away.

This is an experience you don't want to miss, one you will remember for your whole life.

CAMP iMPACT is just that… IMPACT!

There is nothing that connects you better than camp. We put it on ourselves. This is nothing little. Everyone needs to go. Everyone needs to bring a friend. It’s better than summer camp. More spiritually impacting than Youth Group. It’s where we meet with God, He with us and we have great fun doing it.

This year will mimic last year… Speed boats, Ice burg swimming, rock climbing, paintball, boating, games, skits and best of all, JESUS.

I’m working on getting a camp now. The dates are June 7-11 the first week of Summer vacation… no better time to get a spiritual charge. The cost is approximately $150. Sign ups available. Act now!

YOUth LEADership

Teenagers have great potential. Unfortunately that potential is not utilized, instead it stagnates and dies. All people want to be loved and they want to love as well. All people want to feel significant and important to others and all people are important to God, we simply forget that nearly every day.

Our YOUth LEADership at Wellspring Church is all about becoming something that this culture deems not good... but yet is the command and desire of God Himself and is good.

I'm glad for all of you that have taken the initiative to be a leader in our teen ministry. Know that you are valuable. Understand what we're all about...

What we do: We take those that want to be used and use them, develop them, train them. Each one has responsibilities during our youth program like cleaning, attendance, greeting, praise band, sound and audio, and more. They are servants. They also develop their skills in other areas to be used for our puppet ministry, street team ministry and helping with other teenagers. They are trained to live by the truth of God's Word...

We meet on the first Saturday of each month, 10-11:30 a.m. (January's meeting is 1.10.09 however). This will be our 2009 kickoff meeting to get things ready for upcoming events and trips. I need your help. Thank you for helping.

See you this weekend.
