Adventures in Mexico!

DRIME San Diego was part of an outreach event in Tijuana Mexico on Oct. 30th. The outreach event was put on by a network of churches and ministries in Tijuana. It consisted of carnival game activities for the kids, free lunch, doctors and dentists providing free care, music, drama, preaching and giving away bags of food.

We arrived later than we expected to because we got a little lost along the way but by the time we got there the morning rain had finally stopped. The rain had put some activities on hold as the sound system they were hoping to use for the music, dramas and preaching was not able to be used. With the sound system we brought for our dramas they were able to start up the program! There was lots of dramas, music and preaching in the afternoon and the funny thing is, the majority of what I did that day was work the sound machine! The night before this event I was praying that God would use us tomorrow as He saw fit….and He did – just in different ways then I had expected…which is usually how it works with God!

The team kept busy by helping the doctors set up for taking patients, performing the dramas and speaking to the crowd about the dramas. The team of youth, from a local Mexican church, who I had trained the week before in a few DRIME dramas came to minister with us. It warmed my heart to see them sharing their faith with their neighbours through the dramas.

The enemy tried SO hard to stop the Gospel from going out that day but God prevailed because 45 people gave their life to the Lord that afternoon!! Praise God! The new believers are being followed up with and discipled by the local churches that were present at the event.

The day was nothing like I expected but much more than I had hoped! It’s so exciting to be part of God’s work.



This is the DRIME team with some of the doctors from the Outreach.



Here we are doing a drama....and the lovely sounds system I worked all day :)


This is the group of youth I trained performing one of the dramas.


These are the people who accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior!
