We leave this Sunday for Tijuana, Mexico.  We're anticipating a great trip.  The students have spent the last two months building a team, writing a paper about Mexican culture, and getting travel docs in order.  This week will be spent with family celebrating Christmas, then we take off nearly right away to experience a whole different side of the economic spectrum.  That's why we love coming to Caravan right after Christmas.  It's pretty easy to loose focus on what the majority of the world has to live on, while we comfortable get more and more and more... this is a small way to help keep all our heads on straight!  Christ came to serve, not to be served.  Spending a few days with Caravan is our way of pressing that truth into the lives of teens.
