ALLISON PARK ASSEMBLY OF GOD

A diverse group from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Arizona joined together to bless the people of San Luis last week. They were led by our long time pastors Jim and Becky Leake, and were accompanied by our director Harold McKamish and his grandson Joe Osborne. They worked on the soup kitchen extension, ministered in the rehab centers, shut ins and churches, and also spent quality time with the children. They blessed the Oasis crew taking them to Burger King and a movie their last night. Here are some pics and a testimony.

This was my 3rd time going to Mexico with Caring Hearts and each trip is filled with new and exciting experiences. One of those new experiences was on our last night when the men in our group, the Oasis boys and several of the Caring Hearts leaders and their families all went out to dinner at Burger King and a movie. Everybody had a fun time and new friendships were built. If you’ve been to Bethel one time I’d really encourage you to not take a “been there, done that” attitude, but instead go back again. Your trip will be both familiar and new at the same time. Our construction projects for the week consisted of working on an expansion to the soup kitchen and installing smoke alarms and emergency lights at the orphanage. We worked hard but also had a great time. Of course playing with the kids at Bethel is fantastic as always. If you really want to make a kid connection consider being a sponsor, it’s a wonderful thing. Sometimes this phrase is overused, but I truly believe that God really is in that place. It’s easy to sense the love that’s there, and that kind of “others first” love only comes from Him. I thank God for my time spent there, the relationships I’ve built, and the experiences I’ve had. Looking forward to my next trip!!! - Todd
