The Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma has entered into a partnership with the Baptist Regional Convention of Guerrero, Mexico with the hope of planting 15 churches by 2015. October 22-25, Rick and I traveled with
the Volunteer and Partnership Missions Director of the BGCO to tour the Guerrero
Mexican state and meet some local pastors. First Baptist Jenks is considering a partnership to work
with church plants in Guerrero, Mexico. The following will be a series of post detailing
our trip and explaining what we are hoping to accomplish in our partnership:
Day 1 – October 22: We traveled from Tulsa to Acapulco. Our
plan was to meet up with Sam Porter in Houston, and meet some Mexican pastors when we landed.
Sam’s initial flight was delayed and he did not make it to Houston in time to
catch the flight to ACA, then he missed his connecting flight in Mexico City,
and ended up arriving over 8 hours late. Therefore, when Rick and I arrived at
the airport, we simply went to the hotel and took it easy that afternoon. We
got there around 3:45 and waited for Sam to arrive for dinner at 8:00, then
found out he would not get in until after 10. Unfortunately, Sam's had a terrible day missing flights in OKC, HOU, and MEX, for us though it led to a pretty easy day since our tour guide was MIA... sorry Sam!
