Welcome 2011 - We pray for God to lead!

Dios les bendiga, God bless you! The ministries in Reynosa are flourishing. To God be the Glory!

No reports of violence in the area since just before Christmas. The home on Río Frío street is busy with resident girls who are growing in the Lord and performing well in school. Parenting classes, a Kindergarten and Day Care happen at the main location on Río Frío street, as well. Around 20 boys are living at the Carranza location, "Casa de Niños". The funds for the additional property that is for sale, next door on Río Frío, are still insufficient to make that purchase.

We are talking with Sister Elma about a visit over spring break (March 9-13). At that time, we plan to make some improvements at the Carranza location and, possibly, have a women's conference.

In the past 7 years, Casa MAMi has sponsored five of these. By saving on having a room donated at the Best Western El Camino hotel, preparing the food at the casa hogar, and depending on churches to help with transportation, the costs may be kept at a minimum. Last year 800 women and 300 children attended. They were sent home with provisions, such as beans and rice; they were given free examinations, hygiene supplies, and above all, THE MESSAGE OF LIFE IN CHRIST, with testimonies, prayer, and teaching. The cost for all of this is estimated to be $5,000-$7,000 USD.

Finally, since June 2010, our organization has been sending $2,000 per month to support the home for boys, "Casa de Niños". We invite you to join all of these hopes and dreams with your prayers, participation, and gifts! Thank you!
