I've been spending a lot of time down here in Mexico with our Novas students and leaders these past few months.  These students are spending 8 weeks in Mexico building community within their teams, training, gaining practical tools, and applying what they learn in ministry to their community.  In a few weeks they will launch out to their outreach locations, either Nicaragua, Swaziland, South Africa or Uganda where they will invest with local missionaries until May.  I thought I'd update you on what's been going by showing you some pictures.
