Sophie Cassidy and other random works of God

Today I had a short phone conversation with Sister Elma. The violence has risen in the past week. The buses and roads to Ciudad Victoria are in danger. The carteles are creating fear and havoc throughout much of northern Mexico. It is a very difficult season.

Our friends, Rick Hagans http://www.harvestevangelism.org/, visited Casa MAMi in March. Not many are brave enough to cross the border these days. Sister Elma explained to me that Rick Hagans' son is ministering in Ireland and one of his friends, Sophie Cassidy (Irish) is now at Casa MAMi for a month. She is a delight! She helps the little ones at lunch and then teaches English classes to the older girls in the afternoon. She is a blessing! She is a perfect servant with the spirit of Christ who consistently helps and takes care of the children! They are very happy that she has come to help for a month!

The Casa de Niños is doing well! It is just a few blocks from the main location of Casa MAMi. We praise God that so far, the families who come to Casa MAMi are sefe and well.

Also, we had a strange phone call last week. A young mother in Nashville read about our ministry and contacted us to say that her father made mission trips to northern Mexico back in 1978. She and her husband have an adopted Guatemalan daughter and were wondering if we could help them find a young women who her father met at an orphanage years ago. As you may know, adoption in Mexico is very difficult. The laws do not protect adoptive parents. In other words, the adoptions are not secure. This is just to say that needy children and families have been around for a long time and we are thankful for ministries like Casa MAMi that can help these families.


Thanks for reading and please remember to pray for the violence to stop in Northern Mexico.
