Summer has Begun

The summer season with Back2Back Mexico is divided up into 8 weeks of solid American groups in June and July.  Each week, we have anywhere from 2 to 5 groups here serving with us.  So far, I've almost survived week ONE.  It's hot, crowded, intense, fun, exhausting and everything a Back2Back staff member or for that matter anyone who desires helpers, financers, and advocates to support their cause could ever want.   On days like these, when our campus is overflowing with eager helpers, I can't help but realize how truly blessed this ministry is with supporters who genuinely love the orphans we serve.  But with everything going on and an intense schedule, it's easy to feel drained and tired.  Could you please pray for me in these next 2 months? -- for energy, patience, enthusiasm, priorities, focus and God's glory strength as described in Colossians 1:11-12 "We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us."
