Una Gran Familia

Times have been hard for a few months in Reynosa, as they are here.  Funding is low but God is providing in amazing ways! This picture is the cover of a slide show that Elma sent me, showing each child, ages etc. If I can figure how to share more of it with you, I will!

 1) There are 62 girls sleeping in the home; many are older and are taking responsibility for the cleaning, laundry and cooking. With the decrease in finances several employees are gone. The help of the older girls is very important! The day care program continues, which brings over 20 children to the home for meals. (Some of this is subsidized by the government). Many of the Mexican board members are not as actively helping as they were last year. Some are back at work, others may be discouraged.

2) The second site (on Carranza) has some staff and three single mothers with young boys living there. Beginning in the second week of October, Christian parenting classes will be taught to these new residents. These people are very poor and attend church with the residents of Casa MAMi.

3) A group from Houston (St. Luke's Methodist) will go down the second weekend in Oct. They will paint the kitchen and dining room, lead worship & VBS, cook and serve food. What a testimony that IKE did not discourage them from serving in Reynosa! A group from "Aguas Vivientes" (Living waters) in the Rio Grande Valley, will take food this weekend.

Thank you for remembering this ministry. There are many lives being rescued because of your support. Please pray for Sister Elma and those living at Casa MAMi~!! Gracias!
