Staff Conference in Mexico- July 2009

It is always amazing to have all the staff together as we share what God has been doing throughout Mexico in the diverse ministries (family, campus, ethnic groups,professionals and athletes) We closed our four day conference with a special night honoring over 18 staff men and women who serve full-time in the ministry.

Diego and Rose who live in Merida just finished their first year staff training, pictured below are 4 of the 6 staff (with two of the directors) that just completed 5 years with Campus Crusade for Christ as full time missionaries.



We said goodbye to, Kathy Luch, a dear friend who has been serving in Mexico for 7 years in Mexico City and prayed for her next steps as she pursues a Masters Degree at a seminary in North Carolina.

Kelly Bedolla was given a plaque for her 10 years with CCC- two of which were in East Asia where she met her husband, David who is from Mexico. They serve full-time in Mexico with their two small boys- Davidcito and Daniel. They have become really special friends for us here in Mexico.

Gerardo, Cornelia, Rogelio and his wife Maricela received a gift from Mexico and a Plaque from the International Office of CCC for their 20 years of Service. Maricela was not able to be at the conference so we got creative on how to include her in this special moment. We called her via cell-phone and she was able to share a message with the rest of the staff and we were able to pray over all 4! Gerardo was my director when I arrived to Xalapa in 2001!! It is just so incredible to have a relationship with each of these staff members who have faithfully served Christ over the years!




We ended the night honoring two staff men that have been pillars in the Campus Crusade for Christ Mexico ministry- Agustin and Juan who have served 35 and 45 years!! They have been examples of humble servants and bold in Jesus Christ- persevering and being faithful to the call that God has given them. They and their families have been an encouragement to me personally (Kim) and one of the reasons I chose to be a part of the ministry in Mexico. It truly is a privilege to sit at the table with them and learn from their experiences!






What a blessing to be a part of Human Resources where I get to recognize and honor staff for their faithfulness to the Lord!!!
