Global Grounds has moved!

It as been a big month of change for the ministry to university students here in Queretaro. Over the past months, the team has been grappling with some difficult decisions. The rent and other costs for the Global Grounds café location have been very high and the income (from sales and donors) insufficient to sustain operations. We made the difficult decision to relocate the café to the church premises to assist financially as well as to refocus the ministry and seek God for the best and most effective student ministry possible. Global Grounds has been an amazing space to hang out, build relationships, drink coffee and explore faith in Jesus Christ. We want to continue to create spaces where we can engage with young people, make disciples and equip leaders for the kingdom of God.
In the new café location, we have created a new, relevant space for young people to enjoy that is well connected with the church community. We are also taking a fresh look at how we reach out to young people with the message of Jesus Christ in relevant, authentic ways and make disciples who will be leaders for the kingdom of God here in Mexico and around the world.This time of refocus and change is challenging, however, I can see amazing opportunities for God to work through this change and help us build a strong, effective and sustainable ministry with uni students.
