CCC Mission Trip - pt. 1

Today marks the end of an incredible week of missions in Burgos. The group of 15 from Paris, Texas arrived Monday to work for, minister to, and enjoy the people of the local communities. This is the 5th trip for Covenant Christian Church. The Summer Family Trip is in its third year and the church's relationship with the community is growing as well. The inflatable water slides and jump houses that the church brings have become famous. CCC also visits Burgos during spring break for its Youth Mission Trip.



The evening Fiestas were a highlight of the trip. On Monday, CCC set up its "traveling show" in the Burgos Plaza. With music, inflatables, face painting and more, the neighborhood kids had a blast. The group moved the fiesta to El Charco on Tuesday. The parents in both communities enjoyed the activities as well. The smiles of the children are infectious. We could feel the pleasure of God as we watched the families enjoy a couple of hours away from the stresses and pressures of life.
