This morning when I was getting ready for a day of fundraising I had a nostalgic moment. I allowed my mind the liberty of lounging in a faraway reverie… of a very different weekend in a very different place. It was at night, there were lights, noise and a lot of people. There I was, amongst a crowd but talking with just one guy—cuz I’m a little shy in crowds. It seemed I was deeply witnessing. First he was talking, I was listening. Then he was listening and I was talking. Then we were reading something. Then we were praying and eventually there was a long hug and some tears.

Afterwards, we walked over towards a large stage where Vas was playing, although I thought I had heard Jeremy Spencer’s soothing voice and characteristic slide guitar somewhere during the long talk. I saw John Paone, David French, Tony Fogarty and other musicians chatting to the side of the stage, in front of a troupe of colorfully dressed actors who all had that telltale excited look that follows a first performance. There were 2 small tents off to the side of the outdoor plaza—a train station it looked like—where people could be seen entering and exiting, looking transformed after just a few minutes with whatever it was that was in there.

It was the International Festival of Cervantino 2009 and hundreds of us were there—mingling, witnessing, singing, praying, hugging… and it looked like we had some brand new drop-out’s along with us! Clearly there were lots of Active and General Members helping in this powerful Offensive drive.
Hundreds of souls had already been won and when I asked someone I recognized only as Family how long we’d been there, she said it was Saturday the 31st and we’d been witnessing in Guanajuato since Friday the 30th. She’d loved the fellowship and concerts at the Camp where everyone was staying;
apparently that was went on all of Wednesday and Thursday after hundreds of people arrived on Tuesday the 27th from all over Mexico, Central America, the States and even some brethren from other countries around the world. As I stared up at the starry sky I reveled in the feeling of doing nothing but witnessing, caring for nothing but the souls, hearts, minds and futures of everyone around me. No home duties, no fundraising… just doing what I live for! This is the life!

Ouch. I had just poked my eye with my mascara brush. Back to reality, I zipped my bag shut, grabbed my phone and jumped in the car so we wouldn’t miss the lunch rush. Driving over the multiple speed bumps on the way to our spot I couldn’t help but smile. Today was going to be a good day. I know
this isn’t all there is, I know the end is worth the means, and with that thought my day suddenly seemed drastically better.

I want to invite you to share in my beautiful daydream that is about to become actuality, here in Mexico at the end of this month. I want to invite you to join us in the launch of “Descubrete” at the
Festival of Cervantino in Guanajuato, Mexico from the 27th of October to the 2nd of November. It’s a targeted witnessing & winning endeavor to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who wander through aimlessly, hoping for something different, something beautiful and something real to contrast
their pointless, routine filled lives.

We need you! For more information and to apply to come with us, please go to warstride.com, sign in and look up all the details on location, cost, event plan and perks! For those coming from the US, the fee which will cover the 6 night event, including your camping location (bring a tent!) with sports
facilities, bathrooms, 3 large meals a day, a “Descubrete” jersey, and a couple other perks, is only around USD 100 (MXN $1300!) Come on down… it’s going to be SO much fun! Hope to see you soon!

Dear Families and Teachers,

At the Educators Seminar of 2008, parents and teachers from across the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Central America delved into 5 days of extensive teacher-training. The results were envisioned and updated (and hopefully also relaxed and well-rested) teachers and parents who returned empowered and ready to take their ministry and calling of educating to a whole new level.

As a region we are committed to ongoing progress in the fields of education and education opportunities for our children and young people. We are taking the next step in 2009!  

We are thrilled to share with you an exciting announcement of God’s supply and an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Home schooling is one of the preferred choices of education for many Family missionaries.  Therefore your North America Regional Council has decided to sponsor the entrance fee for parents and teachers to attend a major Home-school convention/conference in 2009.

These conventions are excellent sources of information, classes, training, networking, resources, guidance and education for home-educators. Most of the speakers at these conventions are authors and/or leaders in the home school world. Many parents and teachers who have attended in the past years have commented that the conferences were an unforgettable experience — opening up their vision, their access to resources and ideas and curriculums, and went long way in boosting their productivity, knowledge, and vision in educating. We hope to make attending a home education convention this year an opportunity available to every Family parent and teacher in this region.  

Home school conventions/events — such as the CHEA (http://www.chea.org/) — are present in many cities and on different dates throughout the year. We will be posting a calendar with a list of some these kinds of events which we know are available. You may want to use this as a guide to choose from, and you are also welcome to research and see if there are other conventions available in your area. 

Sponsorship is for the entrance fee of parents and teachers of North America Family missionary Homes. (FD/MM/FM) 

Parents and teachers who would like to attend a home school conference this year can download this application form and send in their application for free attendance!

Following are the stipulations for this sponsorship:

 

1. Sponsorship is for:

*Full-time Teachers (including singles without kids who are fulltime teachers)

*One parent per family

(Some conferences only charge a fee for one person per couple (if one parent pays, then their spouse can get in free) or offer a discount for attendance of a spouse or second member of the same household. So folks can check for these deals).

2. Apply right away if you want to attend. We will send out a simple application form. We are working with a pre-set budget, so we will sponsor entrance fees on a first-come-first-serve basis.

3. In order to help you document the event, we will require a short report of the experience from each person who was sponsored. The report should be of their time there, the classes attended, and their reaction to the conference. (Between 500-1000 words is fine, though more is also welcome.)

4. And, we will require a photograph (of the attendee at the conference) from each person who was sponsored. 

5. Sponsorship is for the entire cost of the entrance fee. All other costs such as food, travel, or lodging will be the responsibility of the attendee.

6. You will be reimbursed for the entrance fee after we receive a receipt from your attendance showing the cost of attendance, the name and location of the conference you attended, as well as the required short report and photograph.

 

Download this application form now and apply today!

Again, we are working within a pre-determined budget for sponsorship which may limit the amount of entrance fees we can afford to pay, so sponsorship is on a first-come first-serve basis.

We hope to hear from you right away!
