I’ve been home for a couple weeks now, from my latest trip to Niños de Mexico and I have been processing not just my last visit, but the last ten years worth of trips. I have learned much from the trips themselves, but I have also learned valuable lessons in the months leading up to each trip as I have tried to prepare each team. Maybe, more importantly, I have learned a great deal from observing, talking to and working alongside the amazing people who make Niños de Mexico work. Their examples of servant leadership are sometimes a stark contrast to my own leadership and other forms of leadership that I have experienced in other areas of my life.

No Return
In just a few days I will be making my fourth trip to Mexico to visit an orphanage, Niños de Mexico, that we have supported for many years (you can follow us on the Niños STM 2018 Blog). It has become a special place that has captured my (and the rest of my family’s) heart, in ways I never expected when I started this process with my wife, Sandy, over ten years ago. When we started, we planned and prepared to do the trip once, to prepare one team for one week. In our minds that would be the end of the story, but I guess God had other things in mind.
