Dear Friends,
I'm very excited to let you know that on December 18th through February, I will be part of a missions outreach to Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The outreach is part of the Discipleship Training School that I've been attending with Youth With A Mission in Mexico since September. The school consists of 12 weeks of lecture, and concludes with an 8 week outreach.

We're still working out the details of exactly what we will be doing, but some of the possibilities include Bible distribution, open air evangelism, construction projects, ministry to drug addicts and prostitutes, and ministry amongst indigenous people groups, and ministry to children.

              The location where we are staying in Mexico started a home building ministry, Called Homes of Hope, more than 20 years ago, and have seen more than 4,000 homes build in several different nations since. One exciting opportunity that we have is to be involved with building the first home with Homes of Hope in Nicaragua, and helping them to start running the program there.

There is a team of 17 of us that will be making the trip. The team members are from The United States, Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Mauritius and Australia. Each member needs to raise $2,500 (US Funds) to cover the cost of the outreach. At this point, I still need to raise $1,688.00 to cover my own expenses. Also, if I can raise funds over and above, it will help some of the team members who may have difficulty raising their individual portion.

I'd like to ask you if you would commit to praying for our team while we are on the outreach, and also please pray about giving financially towards our need. There are several ways that you can give; and donations are tax deductible (US and Canada only). U.S. Checks can be made out to YWAM San Diego Baja, (Please enclose a note stating that the funds are to go to my DTS outreach), and sent to

We've also set up a web page where you can give to our team directly with a credit card. at: www.ywamsdb.kintera.org/students or at my bank account at Wells Fargo Bank 6785085777.
Again, I'd like to ask that you please pray about partnering with our team financially, I will be in touch with you in the coming weeks to connect with you and answer any questions you might have.

Blessings,
Lizbeth Espinoza
