My family and son, Jace have been members of Team Mario since 2010. We were looking for an autism group to give Jace opportunities to socialize and, my wife and me to grow our knowledge of people on the spectrum. Jace, Lori, and myself have been actively involved since. Melinda, Lisa, Christine, and Crystal and been welcoming and wonderful. Melinda has a a very compassionate, devoted, and caring team that are dedicated to the children of the Rio Grande Valley with ASD.<br><br>Jace has developed several friends and has been on many field trips, social gathering, and events that have been extremely helpful to his growth and development. As a father, I can not express my immense feeling of gratitude and thanks to this wonderful group. God put Team Mario in our path and journey with Jace. We will forever be grateful to Melinda and Team Mario.<br><br>God Bless.<br><br>

Great people who work there, they really know what they are doing.

I've served short-term under missionaries in Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, but have never seen the Lord working through anyone like Greg Rider of Going Forth International. He has seen the Lord perform miraculous healings instantly as he has prayed. That is for me a sign of the Lord's confirmation of him and his ministry, as the miracles Jesus performed confirmed Him (Jn 10:38). <br> <br>When I was there, we were headed into mountains to minister to a small Christian group/church he had founded. Greg's son rode ahead since it was raining, he returned to confirm a stream had risen and was impassible. We had stopped to wait on the road where a pick-up truck had gotten off into the ditch and was stuck. The man was transporting his vegetables to market. A group of about 60 people from the local tiny farms had gathered to watch him. After pulling his truck from the ditch, we used an AC converter in Greg's truck to power our sound system and put on the entire "show" we had planned for the church group we could not reach. We did a puppet show accompanying a Spanish cd, performed worship with live instruments in Spanish, and Greg presented the gospel. 30 people expressed faith in Christ that day! Another church was founded! They are now on the list of small church groups that the Lord started through Greg, which Greg now provides updates on. <br> <br>I've seen in person how the Lord uses Greg Rider and his family to carry on His work. I hope someday in retirement from my secular job to serve the Lord full time under Greg's ministry! <br> <br>Ron C. <br>Howell, Michigan

I am a high school student at Edinburg High School. I volunteered at the boys and girl club so i could help the comunity little did i know the comunity helped me as well. H-E-B was the sponser of the activities on that day and i think the theme was health and wellness they had five stations they were Zumba, Football, soccer, a nutrition lab, and basket ball with some of the UTPA broncs finest (man those guys were tall). i learned what to eat and to keep active. once i learned those techniques i passed them on to the kids who were participating and all the kids had a great time dancing Zumba with the zumba instuctors and in general.
