Welcome to the CCIC-SV Ensenada 2009 blog

Welcome to the CCIC-SV Ensenada 2009 Blog! From June 29^th to July 8^th, a group of high school students and youth counselors from our church, Chinese Church in Christ - South Valley (CCIC-SV), will embark on a trip to Ensenada, Mexico to participate in a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) missions adventure. Our youth group has been doing a trip to Mexico almost every year since 2001. This summer we’ll be partnering with a local church to help them in a variety of ways tasks such as putting on children’s programs and park outreaches and helping with various work crew activities. Its going to be a blast!

This trip has already been quite a journey. Mexico has been all over the news recently due to swine flu and drug-related violence. On May 15^th, Center for Disease Control (CDC) downgraded their health warning to a health precaution. No cases of swine flu have been identified at any of YWAM’s operating locations and precautions are in place to keep it that way. Based on this and other factors, our church leadership decided it was safe to proceed.
