Rules & Guidelines (From Welcome Home Outreach)
CASA HOGAR BIENVENIDOS WELCOME HOME OUTREACH MINISTRIES VICENTE GUERRERO, B.C., MEXICO MX PHONE: 011-52-616-166-2083 OR U.S. PHONE: 503-616-3751 GUIDELINES FOR MISSIONS TEAMS We look forward to welcoming your missions team to Casa Hogar Bienvenidos, Welcome Home Outreach (WHO), and want to make you aware of the following guidelines and tips that will make your visit to WHO productive, meaningful and enjoyable. We ask that all members of your team be aware of these guidelines prior to your trip, and that they commit to following them.
BACKGROUND and MISSION
Welcome Home is a non-profit agency that is sponsored by a U.S. Board of Directors comprised of Christians from several faith backgrounds. The facility has been serving children of migrant farm worker families in the Vicente Guerrero region of Mexico since the mid-1980s. WHO operates a year-round daycare (guarderia) for pre-school age children of farm workers. Care for these children is provided at no cost to the families. WHO is dependent on donations from churches and individuals to underwrite the ongoing operational costs of the facility. In addition to the daycare operation, the WHO staff assists migrant camp families with basic needs such as clothing and food, and directs house building projects when possible. Biblical teaching and evangelism are part of the ministry as well.
LEADERSHIP
Jackie Scott is a U.S. missionary living at Welcome Home. Her primary role is scheduling and coordinating group visits, overseeing day-to-day facility maintenance, and growing a stable funding base. The daycare is staffed by Mexican nationals who are committed to teaching and guiding the children in Biblical principles. The daycare staff serve under the leadership of director, Brigida Merino Flores.

Rules & Guidelines, Continued
EXPECTATIONS
While we are delighted to host missions teams at Welcome Home, group members must keep in mind that WHO is a fully operating facility with a normal daily routine – and a residence for two families. With that in mind, we ask that visiting groups adhere to some basic guidelines:
WATER:
Water is a valuable resource in Mexico and should not be wasted. SHOWERS are available at WHO, but we ask that they be taken on an as-needed basis, and be kept to 5 minutes or less. TOILETS should be flushed only when there is solid waste.
DRINKING WATER: Do not use tap water to drink or brush your teeth. Purified water
is available in the WHO cafeteria. Please bring your own drinking container for water, marked with your name, so that you can take water with you to job sites or to other destinations.
PLUMBING:
No toilet paper or other paper products should be put into the toilets. There are receptacles next to each toilet for TP. We know habits are hard to break and that accidents will happen. If TP is accidentally dropped into the toilet, it must be removed.
ELECTRICITY:
Electrical service in Mexico is very expensive so conservation of electricity is a must. Please help by using lights, fans and other appliances only when necessary and remember to turn them off when you exit a room.
MEALS:
Your daily room & board fee includes two meals per day. Breakfast is served at 7:30 a.m.; lunch at 12:30 p.m. The kitchen staff expects that visiting groups will eat with the children at those times. If off-site projects keep group members away from WHO at meal time, or you make other plans, your group leader needs to notify Steve or Jackie Scott so the correct amount of food may be prepared. Group DINNERS are on your own; you are welcome to use the WHO kitchen for your meal preparation, or visit one of several recommended restaurants in the area.
KITCHEN DUTY:
Groups are asked to assign at least three individuals to assist with kitchen clean-up for each meal. Other than those on duty in the kitchen, group members should, for the most part, not wander into or loiter in the kitchen.
SLEEPING:
Sleeping areas are furnished with single beds (some are bunkbeds), with blankets and pillows provided. Group members are asked to either bring their own sheets or a sleeping bag for their use. DO NOT move furniture, mattresses, or other equipment without authorization!

Rules & Guidelines, Continued
QUIET HOURS:
Every morning, Monday through Friday, staff leave Welcome Home at 6:00 a.m. to pick up the daycare children and return with them at about 7:00 a.m. Therefore, we ask that groups respect the quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
LAUNDRY:
WHO has only one washing machine and it is reserved for daycare use only. We are happy to direct you to a nearby laundromat if needed.
DRESS CODE:
American Christians visiting in Mexico should dress modestly in keeping with the standards of the Mexican Christian community. Pants for both women and men of all ages should be knee-length or below (no shorts, no mini-skirts). Please, no tank tops, halter tops or bare midriffs; no excessive cleavage; no exposed underwear. Bathing suits should be worn only when at the beach (one-piece suits only). On construction sites, Welcome Home requires that all persons wear long pants and close-toed shoes (work boots or tennis shoes). Absolutely no sandals or shorts on construction sites. This is for your own safety. Workers may want to bring a sun hat, sunscreen and gloves for construction
ALCOHOL/DRUGS/SMOKING: No alcohol, drugs, or smoking are allowed on the Welcome Home premises at any time. Please do not bring these items with you or purchase them while here.
CLEAN-UP:
Please help us keep the WHO compound neat and tidy. Be respectful and responsible in using the facility. The bathrooms, sleeping areas, and common areas should be policed regularly for trash and personal belongings.
DEPARTURE:
When your group prepares to depart the WHO compound, we ask that you do the following…
Bedding: Rooms:
If you used our pillow/pillowcase, please take them to the laundry room area. Sweep out or vacuum your sleeping areas. You should find brooms and dust pans in each area; if not, please ask. Bathrooms: Assign group members to do basic cleaning of the bathrooms. Take out trash and replace liners; sweep floors. Please leave the quarters in as good – or better – condition than you found it! Be sure to check your area to make sure you have everything!
REMEMBER that you are a guest in this country and in this community – and that you are representing Jesus Christ and His love!

Water....... drink a lot of it.
I love water. One time I didn’t have enough. It was called dehydration. It was actually not that fun. I barfed a lot. Ask my wife, she’ll remember because it ruined Valentines Day.
Seriously.
•Fill up your bottle with the water from the cafeteria before we leave for the work site. •Drink the water while we are working. •When we come back to get lunch, refill your bottle with water again. You’ll need to refill it because it should be empty from drinking the water. So when you refill the bottle…. •Then drink that too.
Look at this here quote:
“I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it. “ -W.C. Fields (actor/comedian) W.C. Fields passed away on December 25, 1946. Maybe it had nothing to do with dehydration but he should have had a better attitude about water.
Effects of dehydration:
•Increased heart rate •Increased respiration •Decreased sweating •Decreased urination •Increased body temperature •Extreme fatigue •Muscle cramps •Headaches •Nausea •Tingling of the limbs •Muscle spasms •Vomiting •Racing pulse •Shriveled skin •Dim vision •Painful urination •Confusion •Difficulty breathing •Seizures •Chest and Abdominal pain •Unconsciousness
SIGN THE PLEDGE! I, _______________________, will be SMART and drink H20!
Get it??
DRINK WATER! LOTS OF IT!
Much love,

Sunday Oh my goodness! We’re going to the great country of Mexico! Yes, there is an alarming amount of awesomeness that will be taking place. Get used to it. There is amazing food, a totally different and cool culture, garbage cans next to the toilets, and chubacabras! I am so excited for everyone who is on the team. (#TeamMexico) I believe God has everyone one this team here for a reason and that is splendid! Remember why we’re going. Si, we’ll be building a house for a family in need and that is great. PTL! But don’t forget we’re here to do more than complete this task. Keep your eyes and heart open to see where God wants to use you to make an impact. It’s very likely what you’re being led to do will be out of your comfort zone; do not be afraid to do it! Pray. Do this a lot. Pray for God to use us and keep watch over us. Pray for Jackie and everyone at W.H.O. and the community we’re serving. Be kind. Seriously. We’re going to be far from home, working hard in some pretty hot weather. It’s easy to get cranky. Don’t take it out on other people. Keep focused on why we’re here. If you see a team member feeling down, check on ‘em. Pick them up. Keep your attitude in check. Mark Twain perfectly stated that to a person with a hammer everything looks like a nail. To a person with a crappy attitude, everything looks like a problem. Decide now to have an attitude that sees every situation as an opportunity. Pretty sure that’s what Jesus would do. R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Don’t forget that we are guests and we need to be respectful. It’s okay to have fun, be loud and energetic. In fact, I recommend it! However, it needs to be at the appropriate time and place. W.H.O. has guidelines and we need to respect them. Keep an eye out for each other and stick together. Teamwork! Remember that we are going to a foreign country representing more than just Encounter, Cornwall Church and ‘Murica. Most importantly, we’re representing Jesus. Let us do that well.
GO TEAM GO!

Monday
Why are you here? What an amazing opportunity you have to be here in Vicente Guerrero. God is going to use you in ways you will never expect. You aren’t just here to build a house. You are here to be stretched to your core mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We are excited for what you are to experience and how you will grow in your relationship with God through the work you are doing here. There is a need for support all over the world, but God has chosen YOU to be here in Vicente Guerrero, Mexico. As you are here, look at your surroundings; what do you see? Why do you think we are here? What is the need? How do you think you can help the people in this community beyond the projects we have in store for you? God told you to come and you did. Have you asked Him to guide you and to reveal why he has asked you here? Take a few minutes, pray to God and let him reveal to you your purpose and what he wants you to do here. Jot down what He is telling you and let it be a guide in all you do this week.
Verses to Ponder: READ THEM Jeremiah 29:11 Matthew 19:16-26 Proverbs 29:7
What stands out to you from these verses? What are your takeaways?
Life App: Press Install to Download. Starting now and when you return home, find ways to fill a need. There is a need somewhere, you just have to open your eyes and seek it out. Is God calling you to work with kids? Volunteer at a food bank? Visit with the elderly? Ask God for what he wants you to do.

Tuesday
Read: Ecclesiastes 4:9-16 Check it:
Don’t Go It Alone! In community, we find we have a lot of love to give. Community is an important spiritual practice. I mean, dude, take a look at the Trinity! Totally a community of love! We get to try that out right here on Earth. We were built for relationship. We were built to help others and be helped by them. From the scripture, what words or phrases stick out to you? Why?
What do these words or phrases tell you about how you’ve been helped? About how you’re built to help others?
Chat with God: Ask God to show you clearly how people have shared their work and their wealth with you, how they’ve picked you up when you’ve fallen down, how they’ve warmed you when you were alone, how they protected you when you faced your worst. Ask God to show you how to extend community to someone who needs it today.
Life App: Listen to someone. Sit down, chill out and listen to those around you. Take some time to listen to someone you don’t know very well. Realize that God loves this person and died for them. Who do you feel like you should reach out to today? Why?
Go do it!

Wednesday
So You Think You Can Worship? When we think of worship, we think of singing songs. Worship is so much more than that. There are many ways in which people worship. Worship can be personalized to the individual as long as there is a sincerity and truth to your style of worship. Worship is glorifying God and connecting to God on a deeper level. You become immersed in his presence and it’s as if all other things disappear around you. You feel God in you, from the tips of your toes to the split ends of your hair strands. Worship is just you and God and your heart is filled brimming with his Greatness and Love. This experience of worship is expressed through a variety of ways. There are those that express it through song, music and dance. People express worship through conversation, prayer and meditation. People express their worship in an outcry of emotions and vocal exclamations. Regardless of the way an individual expresses their worship, God wants to see a genuine, heart-felt connection to him. So bring on your worship and show God how you connect to him on that deeper level.
Verses to Ponder: Psalm 96:7-10
Consider this picture of worship: “Bring gifts and celebrate, bow before the beauty of God, then to your knees - everyone worship!” Is it hard to imagine that God likes it when his people celebrate? Why or why not?
What is one attribute of God that you could celebrate right now? Why do you think that attribute comes to mind right now?
Life App: Worship God daily. Do this one way or another: at home or in the wilderness, quietly or with joyful praise. You don’t have to stick to one style of worship. Spice it up and add a little cayenne pepper to your worship. Just keep it real between you and God and you can’t go wrong,

Thursday
Chillax, God’s got this! Awesome quotes:
“Don’t you want a little taste of the glory? See what it tastes like?” I’m pretty sure Nacho is talking about God. God’s glory!
-Nacho Libre
Watch this… “Get a taste of God’s glory! It is delicious and organic!” -Dan Meyer One of the glorious things about God is that you can always count on Him.
Read this from Matthew 6! It’s from the Message and it is scrumptious! If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
Also, read this: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Pray Thank God you can fully rely on him. Admire God for his divine alertness and how relying on him keeps you out of trouble. Take your time so that you can fully explore your gratitude and admiration.
Life App: Rely on God. Take some deep breaths and ponder what it would feel like in your gut to rely on God all the time. Like, every single day! Taste the sweet nectar of reliance so it’s not a chore but the absolute way to live. Trust in God!

Friday
Mi Padre es mi luchador! In 2011, My life changed drastically when my son was born. I was now responsible for another human being and instantly, I was ready to die for this young boy. It was such a surreal feeling that came over me. I know that for as long as I am living, I will do whatever it takes to keep him safe. The feeling that I experienced is nothing compared to the feeling that Jesus must have had when he was here on Earth. He was among us, yet he was God, our Heavenly Father. He was willing to die for us and to protect us in order for us to live. He was willing to step “into the ring” and “tag us out” so that he would receive the beating instead of us. We did not deserve this kind of love but Jesus would have it no other way. Here in Vicente Guerrero, we have been doing some awesome projects and using our hands to show God’s love. The question is whether you have been able to tell the people you have interacted with about God. The simplest statement of, “God loves you,” can go a long way and as humans, we all know what love feels like. Love is a powerful emotion and it’s where my protection instinct for my son stems from and it’s why Jesus died on the cross. He loved us so much that he was willing to die for us. The people of Mexico need to know this. They need to know that they have a Father who will do anything for them and is just waiting for them to come to him. God is using you as a seed, a catalyst, through the work you are doing here and through the words he wants you to share. -Ryan Larrabee (one of your fearless leaders)
Verses to Ponder: Luke 15:1-10 John 3:16
What are your takeaways? How are you going to go out and share God’s love to the “lost?”
Life App: Talk about God’s Love. Starting today, challenge yourself to talk to 1 person a day about God’s love. As stated earlier, it can all start with saying, “God loves you!” Carry on this challenge and if you find yourself too comfortable sharing with one person, move on to two.

How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!�
30
