View this email in your browser We're one month closer to hosting our first team in Chiapas! We are thrilled to have teams joining us again to help us love on the people and continue to share the Word of God. We love how 1 Corinthians emphasizes the importance of loving others.  "If I could speak all the languages of the earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1 We could do so many things to help other people, but it has no meaning if it is not rooted in love. This scripture is an important reminder to love others in everything we do!  Making Dreams Come True Meet Areli! Paul and Judy have known Areli for 17 years. She came to Casa Hogar Alegre when she was just two years old. Areli is a sweet girl with big dreams! On Paul and Judy's last trip to Chiapas, she told them that she wants to go to college to become a travel agent in hospitality. We are so excited to be a part of her journey and help sponsor her as she pursues her dreams. Please keep Areli in your prayers as she begins her studies!  New School Resources Many schools in Chiapas are continuing to hold classes online due to COVID-19. With school being online, many students have not taken their courses due to the lack of resources. To ensure that the students living at Casa de Esperanza can to take their classes, we purchased a desk, chair, and computer. We love supporting our families at Casa de Esperanza and helping them rebuild their lives!  More Expansion Expanding churches and facilities is always an exciting time in ministry! Our church in Chenalho has been in the process of adding a new kitchen to their facilities. This kitchen will help serve people at different church conferences and events. We have been blessed with the opportunity to help finish this project in preparation for its future use, and we can't wait to see the blessings that come from this new addition!  Hope for the Future Although we have not been able to be in Mexico physically over the last few months, our efforts to support the people and the mission of our organization have not stopped. We are looking forward to hosting our first teams this October and December and being a part of the ministry taking place in Mexico. If your organization or church wants to book a trip for this year, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding COVID-19 in Chiapas or new travel requirements, please contact Matt Payne Email Matt Thank you for your continued support of Pogue Family Missions and for being a part of sharing the love of Christ in Mexico. We believe that God will continue to change lives and are so excited to play a part in bringing glory to His Kingdom.  Click to Give Copyright © *|CURRENT_YEAR|* *|LIST:COMPANY|*, All rights reserved. *|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE|* *|LIST:DESCRIPTION|* Our mailing address is: *|HTML:LIST_ADDRESS_HTML|* *|END:IF|* Want to change how you receive these emails?
