. . . OPGO . . .

It is so hard to believe that in a few short months we will be headed to Mexico City to begin our formal job with the IMB.

Our job title: Operation Gospel Saturation Leaders

Our mission: to see every home in Mexico City with a copy of the gospel

Our job description: We will be bringing in groups from the states to assist us in prayer walking, handing out gospels, backyard Bible clubs, etc.

Stats: 28 million people live in Mexico City - it is estimated that around 98% of those people do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives. There are around 3500 barrios (districts or neighborhoods) in the area of the city we will be working in alone that DO NOT have a single evangelical church.

How can you help: First and foremost: Pray. We need your prayers. Ask that God would open doors wide in these districts where there is no evangelical presence. Ask that He would give us opportunities to plant Bible Studies in these districts and also that God would send short term mission groups to Mexico City to help us in our mission. With the economic times being the way they are, it is often difficult to find teams able to give of their time and money to come. Second: Go. God can use you in Mexico City. This task is so large we cannot possibly do it on our own. We need the help of Christians willing to take a week to come and serve alongside us. Please consider being part of a team to come serve in Mexico City. God is doing a work in the city and using mission teams from churches all across the States to do so. See how God is using ordinary people to change lives by visiting the OP GO website at: http://macopgo.blogspot.com.

If your church, Sunday school group, group of friends, youth group, etc. is interested in coming and working with us for a week in Mexico City and would like more information, please email us at travisanddaniellemexico@gmail.com.


Dios los Bendiga! Travis y Daniela

Travis and Danielle - You are doing a great job with your blog! Your stories of language school are interesting, and your photos are great. Thanks for your good explanation of Operation GO, and thanks for placing the OpGO blog address so that people can get more information. I met your school director at the MAC Ladies' Retreat, and told her I am praying for you! Joyfully, Jerri
