Member of two local churches
eCently took their construction
kills and ministry to Mexico.
I In December of 1993,
embers of Lost Creek and
!den Chapel United Method-
st Churches made their first
rip to do mission work in
lexico.
Most years, two teams
,ill make the trip, usually in
pring/summer and again in
)ecember. Most recently, 25
nembers of Lost Creek and
en Chapel spent May 24-30
io Bravo,,,, Mexico.
The team ranged in age from
1 years old to over 70! The
,ast majority of the mission-
tries were middle school and
ligh school youth. There was
,omething for everyone to do
luring these days of ministry.
The primary task of the trip
vas to construct a home for a
'amily of four. These are very
ntimate mission experiences,
viih most of the work and
Lttention focused on the host
'amily. During the week, the
earn gets well acquainted
vith the family. Also, while
he house is under construc-
ion, there are planned and
;pontaneous activities with the
:hildren of the neighborhood.
The homes are humble by
mr standards, measuring about
t6x20, and they are built of
:oncrete blocks. There is no
,'teetricity or running water.
Each house will have a door,
:wo windows, and a metal
:oof.
On one memorable trip, upon
mtering her completed house,
:he mother tearfully said, "I
ew I would get a house, but
[did not know I would get a
nansion !"
'A highlight of each trip is the
hopping trip to Wal-Mart on
last night of work.
7;The team collects their
ney, and purchases special
[finishing touches" for the
tlles.
This is not a required stan-
lard practice for all teams
rom everywhere, but it has
ecome a special tradition of
LC/EC teams.
By this time, the team will
lave "scoped out" needs and
'avorite colors. They will buy
:tirtains, durable dishes, rugs
'& the floor, towels, pictures,
"llairs, tables, and many other
terns to make the house a
lome.
The most important purchase
uill be a Spanish Bible that
a, ilJ be signed by all the team
embers.
On the last morning, the team
,vill return to the completed
louse and join the family in a
:eremony of blessing for the
muse and family. Then the
gifts are presented and good-
byes are said.
After the work is complete,
there is some time devoted to
fun. There is always a shop-
ping day at Nuevo Progresso.
This team had the extra bonus
of spending a day at South
Padre Island, too!
Anyone would be welcome
to join us on a mission trip.
Each year, the churches travel
into inner city Oklahoma City
(Youth), two trips to Mexico,
and one trip to Belize.
If you would like more
information about our mission
program, you can contact the
church office or on the web at
LostCreekUMC.org.

The sign at Hwy 177 and Vinco Road has been replaced with
