Merry Christmas Everyone....

As we gear up for a return trip to the states to spend Christmas with family and friend, I wanted to thank God for all that he has done for us. We often take time out to remember what has happened over the year. So here it is

New Believers in Christ: Teens like Carolina, Gabby, Angel. It all comes down to this. Mexicans, Americans, teens, young children all asking Jesus to forgive their sins and be Lord of their lives.

Baptisms: We were overjoyed to be able to baptize several Americans as God grabbed their hearts during their mission trips here to Monterrey.

Continued Ministry to Children’s Homes: After adding Rayitos de Luz (Rays of Light), a new children’s home in desperate condition, we now serve 9 children’s homes in Monterrey and its surrounding areas. That means that we are continuing to provide Care for Today to over 400 children in the name of Jesus.

Field Trips: One option that groups have when they come is to take children from one of the homes on a field trip: an amusement park, swimming, hiking in the mountains, etc. This gives the kids an opportunity to do something that they’d never have the chance to do, and it gives their caregivers who are on 24/7 a much needed break.

Teens on Campus: After adding 10 new teens to the Hope Ministry, we are now at an all time high of 27 teens on campus living in 5 different Teen Homes. That means that there are 27 teens continuing in education rather than ending at 9th grade. That means 28 kids have the opportunity to get a college degree and find Hope for a drastically improved life over what they would have had if the Hope Ministry did not exist or wasn’t well-supported from people like you.

Construction Projects:

· Two new Teen Homes bringing the total to 5 with groundbreaking for 2 more already underway.

· A medical clinic is half way finished, providing a road for even more comprehensive ministry to those we serve.

· SMCA-The Sierra Made Christian Academy where the missionary kids attend school now have a new building in which they can spread out and will double as a computer lab for the teens on campus in the Hope Ministry.

· A new church building is underway at the Cadereyta shanty town for even better ministry and outreaches.

· Numerous improvements in living and play conditions for the children in the children homes.

Outreaches to Cadereyta and the Rio:

· Around 50 meals served to entire communities

· Medical team ministered to those with illnesses and injuries

· The gospel was shared

· Relationships were made

Thank you for your prayers, your support, your encouragement, hours of serve and love for the children of Monterrey, Mexico. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
