Dear friends and family of The King's Academy, welcome to our Tecate 2016 blogsite!!

After months of planning, we are on our way toward another great week of serving Christ in Tecate, Mexico.
Yesterday (Tuesday, 3/15), everyone brought their luggage and construction equipment to the school's front parking lot and it was loaded up into semi-trucks that are, right now, heading for our camp.
Please be praying for these trucks and the individuals driving them. Specifically be praying that they will be able to get over the border without any issues.

Tomorrow (Thursday, 3/17), Our Advance Team (A-Team) will leave for Tecate in order to unload the trucks and set up all of the tents for the rest of the service team.
Friday (3/18), the Leadership Team (L-Team) will drive down. On Saturday, they will visit the building sites and make sure that each one has the supplies needed to begin building.
Saturday (3/19), the remaining students and volunteers will drive down.
God willing, by Saturday night, everyone will be in Tecate, and all of the sites will be ready to begin construction.

For these initial stages of the trip, the following are items that you can be praying for:

1) Safety. We have close to 500 people serving in Tecate this year. That's a lot of people rising in cars for 8+ hours and crossing a border.

2) Health. Cold and flu season is upon us. Please pray that all of our students and volunteers are able to remain healthy so that they may be able to serve fully as well as have an enjoyable experience.

3) Weather. The forecast is for days in the high-70s/low-80s. Pray that this remains the case, as we are unable to work on our projects if it is raining, for a variety of reasons.

4) Finally (and most importantly) pray that God will be at work during our time there. Pray that God would speak to us and move through us.
