More Than We Could Have Planned: The Other Stories From Our Mexico Mission Trip

When we look back at our week in Yucatán, it's hard to believe how much happened in just a few days. We went with a schedule and a plan, but some of the most meaningful moments were the ones we couldn't have planned. Throughout the week, God opened doors to encourage women, share the Gospel with men in recovery, spend time with children in an orphanage, encourage a hurting friend, and deepen relationships with churches we've come to love. Here are some of those stories.

Two Roofs, Two Families

One of the major projects of our trip was building roofs for two single mothers in Dzununcán, Margarita and Teresa. What began as a construction project quickly became a lesson in perseverance and God's provision as our plans had to change and our team worked through unexpected challenges.

Two Days in Izamal

Our time in Izamal was filled with kids' clubs, house visits, conversations with church leaders, and opportunities to encourage new believers. We also helped the El Shaddai church think through their vision for a future care facility for abandoned and vulnerable elderly people, and witnessed God use one of our team members' personal testimony in a powerful way with the youth.

An Evening With Women in Mérida

Monday night, we gathered with a group of women who serve as leaders in churches throughout Mérida.

Nicki Day helped organize the evening, bringing together women from several local churches for dinner and fellowship. The setting was beautiful—a restaurant that was closed for the evening, with our group gathered outside on the patio. The fans were blowing, the evening air was cool, and it gave us a wonderful atmosphere for conversation and connection.

But the evening quickly became about much more than dinner.

What Will Your Legacy Be?

Haley shared her testimony and talked about how the first three Beatitudes had played a significant role in her own healing and how God had used them to change her life. Jackie then shared the story of Tabitha, also known as Dorcas, from Acts 9. Tabitha was known for making clothing for people who were poor. But Jackie pointed out something that stood out to her: Tabitha didn't simply make whatever clothing was necessary. She made beautiful clothing. She didn't have to. She chose to put extra effort into giving people dignity. Jackie turned the question toward the women:

What is the one sentence that sums up your life?

What will your legacy be? The women paired up and talked about the kind of legacy they wanted their lives to leave behind.

Standing on the Promises of God

Shelli had barely arrived in Mérida when she joined us for the evening. In the days leading up to the trip, she had repeatedly woken up around 3:40 in the morning with specific Bible verses on her heart. Night after night, she felt God giving her verses to share with the people she would encounter in Mexico. She brought those verses with her. Her message focused on standing on the promises of God—how God's promises give us strength and protection, how we recognize when we have stopped relying on them, and how we return to them. It was interactive and personal. And then we ended the evening by pairing the women up again to exchange prayer requests and pray for one another. The evening wasn't simply about us speaking to them. It became women encouraging women.

Motul: God's Plan

The next evening, our team split into three groups. One went to the men's rehabilitation center. One went to an orphanage. And Haley and Shelli traveled about 40 minutes outside Mérida to a church in Motul for another ladies' night. We had originally planned to give essentially the same presentations we had given the night before. But as we prayed and talked about the evening, we felt led in a different direction. Instead of giving the prepared talks, we gathered the women into a circle. We shared our prayer requests with them.

They shared theirs with us. We encouraged them, and then we handed the microphone to them and let them encourage one another—and encourage us. We wanted them to know something very simple:

We are here with you. We are your sisters.

There were about 20–25 women there, and the evening was filled with worship, prayer, encouragement, and conversation. When it was time to leave, the women came up to Haley and Shelli one by one. They hugged them. They prayed with them. And they didn't want to let them go. Afterward, we shared a meal with the pastor, his wife, their two daughters, and a visiting missionary who was originally from Ukraine. Sitting around the table and getting to know them was just as meaningful as the formal ministry itself.

Where Life Begins

While Haley and Shelli were in Motul, Roger, Chris, and George visited a men's rehabilitation center in Mérida known as the annex, or “Where Life Begins.” They brought pizza, soda, and chips to share with the men. Some of the men were there voluntarily, while others had been committed to the program. The men who were there voluntarily were generally more willing to interact with the team. Roger and Chris both shared their testimonies.

For Chris, this was a major milestone. He had never been outside the United States before, and he had never shared his story in this kind of setting. He had prepared for the trip by learning how to tell his testimony, and now he had the opportunity to use it. Chris shared about the way his experiences with his parents had shaped his understanding of himself and his view of God. He talked about how God had helped him forgive his parents, rescued him from some very dark places, and taught him to see himself and God differently.

Roger also shared his testimony. He brought special coins from his men's group at home. The coins depict the different parts of the armor of God and serve as a reminder to remain faithful and spiritually prepared. The men loved them. Roger also shared the Gospel and encouraged the men that God can redeem broken stories.

Casa Hogar Moisés

Another group spent the evening at Casa Hogar Moisés, an orphanage where the children are primarily teenage girls, along with two seven-year-old boys. Jackie, Beatriz, and Juanita spent time with the children, sharing our Faith Over Fear curriculum, teaching a song based on 2 Timothy 1:7, leading a dance, and playing games. There was a lot of laughter.

The girls giggled and played. They listened, learned, and participated. And our team came home excited—not because they felt they had completed everything they wanted to do, but because they realized there was so much more they could do. The team left already thinking about what curriculum they could develop specifically for these girls next time. Many of the girls have very limited opportunities to leave the orphanage or experience activities outside of it. We want to give them something to look forward to. We want to build relationships. And we hope this visit was only the beginning.

An Unexpected Visit With Dani

Some of the most important moments of the trip weren't on our schedule at all. During our communication with Pastor Mauricio before the trip, we noticed that his wife, Dani, wasn't saying much in our group messages. We assumed she simply wasn't much of a texter. When we arrived, Mauricio told us that Dani had been sick. As we talked more, he shared that she had been struggling with severe depression and had spent approximately 15 days unable to get out of bed. We were deeply concerned for her. Mauricio was clearly worried too. We asked if we could visit her.

On Wednesday, Shelli, Beatriz, and Juanita spent about two hours with Dani. They listened.

They visited. They encouraged her. They also brought resources that connected directly to the work she does with vulnerable children. Dani's full-time job is with a nonprofit that serves children who have experienced abuse and other at-risk youth, so the team was able to give her additional children's curriculum resources. They also shared the Freedom curriculum and its accompanying online resources with Dani and Mauricio, with the hope that they would be able to work through the material together. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

A Wednesday Night With Friends

Wednesday night took us to a church in Mérida where we spent several hours together—from approximately 7:00 to 10:00 PM. This church had been praying for us throughout the months leading up to the trip. We had shared prayer requests with them, and they had faithfully prayed for our team. We had also been praying for them. By the time we arrived, there was already a sense that we were catching up with family. Haley, Beatriz, Chris, and Roger shared testimonies and messages. We spent a long time worshiping together.

We prayed with one another. We caught up on what had happened since our last visit. And then Armando, Nicte's husband, shared a closing message with us. Eventually, we sat down to a big meal together.

We ate.

We talked.

We laughed.

We caught up.

And we enjoyed the kind of fellowship that only comes when relationships have been built over time. We already knew many of their needs. They knew ours. And we left reminded that the relationships created through these trips continue long after the plane ride home.

We are grateful for every person who prayed, gave, encouraged, and participated.

Thank you for being part of what God is doing in Mexico.

Two Days in Izamal

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:46:04 GMT

Two Days in Izamal:

When we arrived in Izamal, we knew we had two busy days ahead of us.

We had prepared children's curriculum. We had planned kids' clubs and house visits. We were going to spend time with the local church and learn about the ministries they were developing. We also hoped to encourage the pastors and church leaders who had been faithfully serving their communities.

But, as often happens on a mission trip, the most meaningful moments were unplanned. Over two days, we found ourselves sitting on porches with grieving families, playing and singing with dozens of children, talking with new believers, encouraging a grieving widow, discussing plans for a future elderly care facility, and watching one of our own team members share a testimony that had been years in the making.

The people there invited us into their lives and by the time we left Izamal, it felt like we had experienced much more than two days of ministry.

Starting the Morning Around the Table

Our first morning began with breakfast with Pastor Fabian, his wife Deysi, and their family at El Shaddai Church.

Before we started our day's activities, they gave us an overview of what God has been doing through their church.

And there is a lot happening.

El Shaddai has six mission fields and church plants throughout the region, including Sitilpech, Citilcum, Chichxulub, the Mayan camp, and Sudzal. They also operate a music institute where young people can learn to sing and play praise and worship music. Their youth are deeply involved in ministry, and their children's program, Iglekids, is largely supported by teenagers who help lead activities for younger children. The church is also working toward something much bigger.

A Home for Abandoned Elderly People

Fabian and Deysi shared their vision for creating a care facility for abandoned and vulnerable elderly people in the Izamal area. There are many elderly people in the region who have no one to care for them, and the church wants to create a place where they can receive appropriate care and dignity. There is still a long road ahead.

They first need to establish the organization as an Asociación Civil, or AC, which is the legal structure they are pursuing for their nonprofit. They will need funding, permitting, architectural plans, staffing, and many other pieces before construction can begin. But they have a vision. And God had already provided an unexpected connection.

Kenny and Liisa Stribling, who have previously served on an HRS True Hope mission trip and have experience directing elderly care facilities in the United States, offered to help consult with the team.

That first night, while our youth program was taking place, we connected with Kenny by Zoom. He shared practical information about common care-facility layouts in Texas and helped them begin thinking through what they should discuss with architects and building planners. He also explained the types of professionals they will eventually need on staff, including medical leadership, nursing staff, dietary professionals, maintenance personnel, and others. We were able to provide training materials and resources as well. The facility is still only a vision. But now the team has more information to help turn that vision into a plan.

Then the Kids Arrived

After breakfast, we began preparing for the children's program. Our team had spent considerable time preparing the curriculum before the trip. We wanted the children to experience more than just games or entertainment. Each lesson included a Bible story, an object lesson, a Gospel presentation, songs with motions, games, and crafts. The El Shaddai team had already prepared before we arrived. In fact, they had led the first day of Vacation Bible School without us because we would only be there for two days.

When we arrived, we saw something beautiful. The teenagers from the church weren't sitting on the sidelines.

They were serving. They played with the children. They taught them. They helped with activities, songs, skits, and games. They were enthusiastic, involved, and clearly enjoying the opportunity to serve younger children.

The first day, approximately 75 children came. We divided them into four age groups so that the Bible lessons, songs, crafts, Gospel presentation, and activities could be adapted to their ages. Our team worked alongside approximately 15 people from the local church, including many teenagers from the youth group.

It was loud.

It was energetic.

There was singing, dancing, laughing, crafts, games, and a lot of movement.

And it was wonderful.

Meanwhile, One of Our Team Members Was Very Sick

In the middle of all of this, Chris began feeling extremely ill. At first, we weren't sure what was happening. He had been working construction in the heat the previous day, so we wondered whether he was dehydrated. We also considered whether he might have eaten something that didn't agree with him. We found Pepto-Bismol, gave him crackers and rehydration packets, and tried to get him cooled down. At one point, he became faint enough that we were genuinely concerned. Pastor Fabian brought out a hammock and set it up so Chris could lie down, take off his shoes, and cool off. Eventually, he began feeling better. But none of us realized yet that something much deeper was happening.

Going From House to House

While Chris rested, the rest of us went with Fabian and Deysi for house visits. And this is where the ministry became very personal. Our first visit was with Juli and her mother, Martha. Their family had experienced tremendous loss.

Juli's brother had died by suicide, and her father had also died from cancer. Juli had never even been inside a church building.

We sat with them and listened.

Juli told us about her son, Christo, and about the circumstances surrounding his birth. She had named him Christ because of the way she believed God had miraculously intervened when he became ill shortly after being born.

Eventually, Fabian asked a simple but profound question:

"If you could ask God one thing, what would you ask Him?"

At first, Juli didn't know how to answer. But after talking for a while, she finally knew. She wanted to ask God why she was so afraid to get close to Him. There wasn't a simple answer we could give her. So we listened. We encouraged her. And we prayed with her. Before we left, we invited Juli and her mother to come to El Shaddai the following evening.

A Grandmother Raising Her Grandchildren

Our next visit was with a woman whose husband would not allow her to attend church.

She explained that he worked long hours, and when he came home, he expected her to be there. If she wasn't, she said, he would get on his motorcycle and come to the church to take her home. But she desperately wanted to go.

She was raising her grandchildren because her own children were struggling with drug addiction. She wanted the children to be able to attend church, hear about God, and build positive relationships with other children. We listened to her story and prayed with her. Our team also shared pieces of our own stories.

Juanita shared about her mother and father. Her father had been abusive toward her mother and had never believed in God. Yet Juanita's mother continued to believe, worship, and share the Gospel. Near the end of her father's life, Juanita's mother went to care for him. And she shared the Gospel with him again. He accepted Christ.

Juanita described the powerful image of her mother caring for the man who had once abused her—rubbing lotion onto his dry arms in the care facility while sharing her faith with him. It was a story of forgiveness, faithfulness, and a prayer that had taken years to be answered.

We shared that story because sometimes people need to hear that God can work even when an answer seems impossible.

A Story That Chris Had Been Carrying

Eventually, we returned to El Shaddai. Chris was feeling much better and was preparing to share with the youth that evening.

While we were talking with Fabian and Deysi, the conversation turned toward Yucatán and some of the challenges facing young people.

Fabian mentioned that although Yucatán is considered one of the safest states in Mexico, it also has a serious problem with suicide, particularly among young people.

Something changed in Chris. He decided it was time to tell his whole story. Chris had been carrying painful experiences from his childhood, his time in the military, and the years after leaving the Army. He had struggled with things he had tried to suppress, including two suicide attempts. As he finally shared everything he had been holding inside, the room filled with tears, hugs, and prayer.

Only later did we learn from George, Chris's mentor and roommate on the trip, that Chris had been becoming physically ill throughout the week as he wrestled with the thought of sharing his testimony. Suddenly, his sickness earlier that day made much more sense to us. Whatever was happening physically and emotionally, Chris had been carrying an enormous weight.

And now he was finally letting it out.

The Youth Arrived

Then the teenagers began arriving. We played games. We sang. We danced. We shared a message. And then Chris stood up.

He told them his story. He told them what he had experienced, how those experiences had shaped the way he saw himself and God, and how God had begun redeeming those things. Then he shared the Gospel. He challenged the teenagers to decide what they believed and to consider what it meant to commit their lives to Christ. It was powerful. Chris had never shared his testimony like this before. And now, for the first time, he was standing in another country telling young people how God had rescued him.

Day Two: Back to the Kids

The next morning, we returned to El Shaddai. The kids' program was even bigger. More children came on the final day, and once again the local teenagers jumped in to serve. The curriculum came alive through songs, games, crafts, Bible teaching, and Gospel presentations. Our team didn't simply deliver a program to the church. We worked alongside them. The local church was already doing the work. We were there to bring resources, encouragement, and additional hands.

Into Sudzal

After lunch, we traveled about ten minutes outside Izamal to Sudzal, one of the church plants started by Fabian and Deysi. The church had only been established about 18 months earlier. Most of the members were new believers. And they had just experienced a devastating loss. Their pastor, Jesús Gabriel, had died only two months earlier from respiratory problems.

We went first to visit his wife, Gina. Gina had been struggling deeply with grief. She told us that she had spent a long time shutting herself in her room and staying there all day. But something was beginning to change. She had decided she needed to get up. She needed to come outside. She needed to begin doing things again. We listened. We prayed with her. And we invited her to the service that evening. Fabian also asked if she would prepare some worship music. She agreed. And she delivered.

Juan Gabriel and Imelda

Our next visit was with Juan Gabriel and his wife, Imelda. They have six children. Imelda manages the household while Juan Gabriel does whatever work he can find, including rounding up and transporting cattle and other jobs. Juan Gabriel has an extraordinary story. Before becoming a Christian, he was involved in criminal activity. Pastor Jesús Gabriel had shared the Gospel with him, and Juan Gabriel eventually came to know Christ. Although he is illiterate, he has a strong desire to help lead the church. His wife reads the Bible to him.

We spent a long time simply talking with them and getting to know them. Because Pastor Jesús Gabriel had died, many of the new believers had stopped attending church. They were grieving. We prayed over them and encouraged Juan Gabriel and Imelda to begin hosting services in their home again and to work with Gina to reconnect the members of the church.

More Homes, More Stories

We visited several other families that afternoon. One was a young woman who was 23 years old, newly married, and caring for her eight-month-old baby. Another woman we visited was also a new believer. Both had been taught to believe that they could lose their salvation every time they sinned. We were able to share the Gospel with them and encourage them with the truth that salvation is a gift from God, not something we earn or repeatedly lose.

We listened.

We answered questions.

We prayed.

And we encouraged them to continue growing in their faith.

The Rain Came

That evening, we returned to El Shaddai after eating pizza with Fabian and Deysi. A heavy rain fell. We laughed because we had prepared for an adult service of perhaps 90–100 people. We knew that wasn't going to happen. Many people in the area walk or ride motorcycles to church, and a downpour can make attending nearly impossible. A few people began trickling in.

Eventually, about 20–25 people gathered. So we did what we came to do.

We worshiped.

We shared.

We prayed.

Gina came with her parents and sang beautifully. Haley, Roger, and Shelli shared messages. At the end, we divided into smaller groups and asked the people to share their prayer requests. We wrote them down. We took pictures. We wanted to remember their faces when we prayed for them throughout the year. And the best part was that despite the rain, two of the people we had spent time with in their homes were there.

Juli and her mother had come.

Gina and her parents had come.

The people whose stories we had heard on their front porches were now sitting with us in the church. It was a small crowd, but a big moment.

More Than a Mission Trip

When we think about our two days in Izamal, we remember people.

We remember the teenagers who eagerly served the younger children.

We remember the children singing and making crafts.

We remember Juli asking why she was afraid to get close to God.

We remember the grandmother who wanted so badly for her grandchildren to know the Lord.

We remember Chris telling his story and watching God turn years of pain into a message of hope.

We remember Gina deciding to get out of bed and return to the community.

We remember Juan Gabriel wanting to serve his church even though he cannot read.

We remember a rainy night when only a fraction of the expected crowd came—and somehow it felt exactly right.

And we remember that ministry doesn't always look like accomplishing a big project.

It's saying: "We see you. We care about you. And we're going to keep praying for you."

The Story Behind Two New Roofs in Dzununcán

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:07:27 GMT

The Story Behind Two New Roofs in Dzununcán

When we first began planning our Mexico mission trip, the roofing project seemed fairly straightforward.

During a scouting trip the year before, we had received a list of approximately 40 families in Dzununcán, just outside Mérida, whose homes needed roof repairs. Pastor Mauricio Bonfiglio, who serves in the area with his wife, Dani, estimated that many of the roofs could be repaired for around 7,000 pesos—approximately $400 USD.

We began raising funds with that number in mind. Our hope was simple: take a team to Mexico, purchase materials, and use our construction experience to help as many families as possible. But once we arrived, we quickly learned that the project was going to look very different from what we had imagined. And, as it turned out, that was okay. Because God had already gone ahead of us.

Forty Families Waiting for a Roof

The need in Dzununcán was much greater than one or two homes. Pastor Mauricio had compiled a list of approximately 40 families who needed help. When we arrived this year, he gave us a more detailed list of 12 priority projects. The combined materials for those projects would cost roughly 55,000 pesos.

We knew immediately that we couldn't complete all twelve during our short trip. So we spent our first day visiting the homes and evaluating the projects. As we looked at each situation, one house stood out.

Margarita's. We decided to begin there.

Margarita's Story

Margarita is single and lives alone. She has been disabled since she was five years old. Despite her disability, she worked for years at the local market and pushed a cart through the streets selling goods. Then she was struck by a vehicle.

The injury left her even more disabled, and eventually her employer could no longer offer her work. She now lives on a fixed income.

Then came the floods. Recent flooding had destroyed many of her belongings, and the roof over her home was inadequate to protect what little she had left. When we saw her house, we realized that this wasn't simply a matter of replacing a few pieces of roofing. The original plan wasn't going to work.

The house sat on a slope with loose, rocky soil, and the existing structure wasn't stable enough for what we needed to build. We needed a taller, free-standing roof that would provide enough clearance and keep the seasonal rains out. And that meant changing everything.

Pivoting...Hard

We had arrived with preliminary plans and a supplies list that had been prepared before the trip. But construction in Mérida doesn't always work the way construction does in the United States. The materials we expected to find simply weren't available.

We needed posts longer than eight feet.

We couldn't find them.

We needed 4x4 posts.

They weren't available.

We needed 16-foot trusses.

We couldn't simply go buy them.

We needed prefabricated concrete footings.

Those weren't available either.

Even the lumber we did find wasn't always consistent in size. Some boards were significantly thicker than others.

And we were working against the clock.

Our team was scheduled to begin construction the next morning.

So we did what you do when your plans don't work:

We prayed.

Then we started drawing again.

God Provided a Different Solution

We returned to the lumber store we knew could deliver materials the fastest. They didn't have exactly what we had originally planned to buy. But they had what we needed for the new plans. So we adapted. Instead of using 4x4 posts, we sistered 2x4s together.

Instead of using 16-foot pieces of lumber, we constructed longer trusses from multiple eight-foot pieces, using additional lumber to brace the connections. And when we couldn't find the prefabricated concrete footings we needed, God provided something even better. A local concrete worker agreed to form and pour the footings for us on site, encasing the posts in concrete. It wasn't the plan we had brought with us. But it was a solution. And it worked.

Building in the Heat

Our construction crew—especially John and George, who led the construction effort—worked long, hot days to make it happen.

John was an absolute workhorse, putting in tremendous effort every day. George worked alongside him, helping strategize, plan, and solve the challenges that kept appearing. The rest of the team helped wherever they could. The heat was intense.

We kept coolers, Gatorade, cooling towels, and other supplies on hand, and a small Pentecostal church nearby generously allowed our team to use their shaded patio when they needed a place to cool down.

There were moments when the project felt like a giant puzzle. But piece by piece, the roof began to take shape.

By the end of Wednesday, we had completed two of the six rafter sections needed for the 16-by-35-foot roof. We were tired.

But Margarita was smiling. And that made every hot day worth it.

More Than a Roof

As the construction progressed, we kept thinking about what this roof actually meant. It wasn't simply lumber, screws, concrete, and metal. It was protection. Margarita had already lost possessions to flooding. She was living alone on a limited income. A roof that kept the rain out meant that the things she still had would be safer. It meant one less thing to worry about. It meant dignity. And it meant knowing that someone cared enough to show up and help. By the end of the project, we had completed a stable, larger-than-expected roof designed to protect her home from the seasonal rains. The project had cost more and required considerably more labor than we had originally anticipated. But we had done it.

Then We Built Teresa's Roof

Once Margarita's roof was complete, we turned our attention to Teresa. Teresa's situation was different, but the need was just as real.

The condition of her home had become so difficult that her children had stopped living with her because of the leaks and poor living conditions. Imagine that. A roof isn't supposed to determine whether a family can live together . But for Teresa, it had. So we began again. This time, we had already learned some lessons.

We knew the limitations of the local materials.

We knew we would need to adapt.

And we knew we could trust God to provide what we needed.

By the end of our time there, Teresa had a repaired roof as well.

And with it came hope that her children might be able to return home.

It Was About Surrender

One of the biggest lessons from this project wasn't about construction.

And sometimes that is what faith looks like. Not having everything figured out before you begin. Just taking the next step.

There Are Still Families Waiting

Margarita and Teresa were only the beginning. There are still families on Pastor Mauricio's priority list who need help.

Each home is different. Some projects will be relatively simple. Others will require significantly more materials, labor, and planning.

Our hope is to continue funding materials for these families and, when it makes sense, provide skilled local labor for projects our teams cannot complete themselves.

Hiring trusted local workers also provides income to men in the community who can use the work. There are many more roofs to build.

And we would love to return with more workers and more resources so that we can continue the work that has begun.

We are incredibly grateful that God allowed us to be part of their stories.

And we are grateful that you were part of ours.

There are still families waiting for a shelter.

We hope you'll continue to pray with us about what God will allow us to build next.
