The first Great Expeditions Traveling Team journeyed through parts of eastern and central Mexico, ministering in cities, orphanages, and churches as they went. God did mighty things through them as they shared the Gospel and did good works for those in need! Learn about their ministry and watch a video report about the trip on the IBLP Web site.

Ken Pierpont and his family were part of the leadership team for the trip, and Ken chronicled regular trip reports on his blog. Read more by visiting his site at kenpierpont.com.

About the Team

The Great Expedition Traveling Team featured an opportunity for training and ministry to go hand-in-hand. Team members received training in areas such as meditation on Scripture, spiritual warfare, resolving irritations, identifying life purpose, and more. These training sessions alternated with opportunities for hands-on ministry in visiting orphans, serving mayors and officials, and improving orphanage facilities.
