After all the attempts by the news reports to keep people out of Mexico, YUGO is still operating a ministry that is blessing the hearts of hundreds of Mexican children, youth and adults. We have terrific staff members, both in Tijuana and Ensenada and a great group of summer interns in both outreach centers.One group we just hosted in Tijuana came all the way from Manitoba, Canada. Another group that comes every year from San Jose told us that it would take a lot more than overblown and overstated news reports to keep them away. So far those who have come have only seen the Lord use them to share the love of Christ. Nobody has seen any evidence of violence (or swine flu).
We thank God for all the groups who have come to Mexico with us – to share the Gospel, to build a home or help with Grace Childrens Home. Dios les bendiga!

Hey YUGO!
I honestly do not understand this mentality that places rumors from the news media (that's really what it is!) above scriptural truth. We have been bought with a price. We are not our own. We need not fear death. Our purpose is not self-preservation, but God-glorification and world-evangelization. Yes, this applies to Christian teens as much as Christian adults. God will eventually teach us somehow.
Thanks for continuing to do the work you are doing, despite the low number of teams. I miss the Outreaches. I miss the YUGO staff. It was good seeing as many of you as we could in May.
God bless and take care,
--Brian
