The costs of re-establishing trips and projects in Cancun again was second guested as other projects along the US/Mexico border took presidence. Steve Horrex, Director of International Relations with Amor Ministries, and Scott Congdon, Founder and CEO of Amor Ministries, continued to maintain contact with Gilberto F. from Cancun, Resort Hotelier and Philanthropist. Gilberto had always been a major part of the success of working in Cancun with Scott and Steve having been amazing blessed by Gilberto with all the resources he donated to the projects. Mission trip participants were staying at Gilberto's resort hotel and he was also donating, among many other things, one of his staff members during the work projects, a pickup truck to aid in delivery of building material, and very generous use of the hotel facilites for meetings, meals, etc.
In the summer of 2006 Gilbert met with Steve and Scott in Temecula, California where Gilberto, on a trip to visit his daugter in Yucca Valley, CA, presented his dream to build a Chrisitan University in Cancun. Gilberto presented building plans and photographs of the property and facilities he wanted to donate to Amor Minsitries. His dream was that he would build it, with God's guidance and direction, and Amor would run it.
In February of 2007 the Amor Board of Directors approved the initial feasibilility study that Scott Congdon presented and authorized Scott to develop and present a business plan for "Cancun Christian University" at the June 2007 Amor Board Meeting.
