Element Ensenada mission trip
As an Element staff member, I proudly watched our 8th to 12th graders spend the whole year working hard to raise money for their summer mission trip to Ensenada, Mexico. Every student going was able to get significant subsidies toward the total cost of the trip! We went with the well-known organization “Youth with a Mission” and with the theme of “Detox” we spent the first few days hearing the word of God through messages and devotions – and the praise just rocked! Our students were also trained in skits and the Mexican culture, and we were ready for outreach! We presented the gospel to people in the city, worked with a local church to put on a children’s program, visited an orphanage, and even spent time at a drug rehabilitation center. Overall, we were blessed to be the hands and feet of God to engage the world lovingly. Oh, and we miss the amazing tacos!
