JESUS IS ALIVE!!




Father and Daugther!




This is Anita!


Today Sunday we had a great day. We started the morning with a 6am sunrise service in Riveras where Lucio preached. To our surprise 120 people attended this service. After the service we all stayed and shared some menudo, everyone was able to eat well. Thank God! After this service we all went to El Millon where we had another service at 10:30am. At this service we had 9 people that were baptize. 1 from El Millon, 2 from Jesus Carranza(father and daughter) and 6 from Riveras. We had a special moment where Anita was baptize. She is our little girl(she is 26) with special needs. Her parents would tell us that she would tell them daily that she wanted to get baptize. Her mom told us that today Anita woke up in a great mood and saying that she was going to go into the water. God is awesome!!Every baptism was special in its own way but Anita touch close to home.
Beside having 9 baptisms, there were also 12 children that we presented to God including my very own baby, Karina. We had a great service an afterward we all ate hamburgers, more then 200 burgers were made. WOW!
All in All we had a great day, a long day but a great day.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL...

No bus transportation

For about 2 weeks now there has been no public transportation in the valley of Juarez. The bus route end in Riveras del Bravo, meaning that El Porvenir, El Millon and Jesus Carranza have no way of traveling outside the towns, unless they have a car and many dont. There has been lots of attacks to the public transportation especially to the one going to the valley, and for that reason the owners decided to end it all together. In the pass they had done this but only a couple of days. Now because of this people in the valley have not been able to go to Juarez for the food, doctors visit or school. This pass friday the church in El Millon provided the churches van to people that needed to go grocery shopping. For those that have a car is not that hard, just have to find gas money but for those without a car is hard. We hope this doesn't last long.

God is our protector!

No need to tell everyone about what is going on in Ciudad Juarez, I think you know by now.
This pass wednesday while in school a young boy of 6 years old was killed when a car crashed inside the school. The driver said he was being chased, he is 16 years old.
On thursdays service in Riveras, Juanita ( she was a church member in El Millon but moved to Riveras. She is married to Carlos and has three kids and has her sister kids too) stood up and gave thanks. On the day the car crashed into the school, Rosita(her youngest) was drinking from the water fountain. When the car crash it was going directly to Rosita. Rosita saw the car and ran but the little boy next to her didn't run. Rosita saw when this little helpless boy was ran over by the car. Juanita and us we give thanks to our Protector, God!! He saved Rosita from also being killed that day. If she would of not ran off she would of been killed too. The only thing is that Rosita has not been able to sleep since wednesday night. She starts shaking and crying when she closes her eyes. We praise God because He protected her but we also ask Him to help her forget what happen that day. That she be able to sleep at night. No child deserves to have this happen to her. Keep her in your prayers!
