Send Us to Mexico -- And Win Fabulous Prizes!!

On September 12th we'll begin a 10-week, intensive missionary training course in Mexico.

At this training we will:

* spend a week living in the home of a family that only speaks Spanish
* hear from renowned Bible and missions teachers
* learn how to plan our budget and raise support for our move to Nicaragua
* participate in conflict-resolution training
* learn how to lead a short term missions team
* learn how to practically survive in a foreign country on a fixed budget
* plus lots more

The cost for the four of us to attend is $8000. This includes airfare, room, board, shots, etc. We are supported by our home church, Fusion Church, but need additional funds to make this happen.

You can learn more about what we'll learn and what we'll be doing in Nicaragua by visiting our missions blog: http://hellopapaya.blogspot.com
