THANKS ACORN CLUB!

These are the two families in The Valley of Juarez that thanks to the Acorn Club in NMC they will for sure have a great Christmas season. These two families are:


The Ruiz Family, members of the church in Riveras. Each member of the Ruiz Family except for youth girl is in the worship team at the church. Brother Rodolfo(dad) is the one that works. He works as the person that goes to your house and charges you if you owe money at a store.







The next family is The Family of our Sister Maria. Maria and her family go to church in El Millon. As many of you will see in the picture, Maria is Estella's mom. Maria with her children do not miss a single service of church, and thank God her husband allows her to go. Leon(dad) is the only one in the family that works and Maria has been recently dismissed from her job at the factory plant. This family is The Reyes Martinez Family.




Again we want to say a big big thank you to everyone of the kids in the Acorn Club that allow these two families to have a great Christmas season. The Reyes-Martinez and Ruiz are praying for each one of you, so that you too could have a merry christmas! You guys are great,way to go!

El Millon X-Mas Dinner

This pass Saturday the church in El Millon had there Christmas dinner. Everything started at 4am when Sister Juanita and her husband Carlos join my mom at the dorms to start making the tamales. By 6 am sisters started rolling in to start the wrapping of the tamales. OMG they were delicious! The dinner started at 4pm and every church member was there and also brought there families. 32 food bags where given out to only the church members at this time and also every child got there Christmas present. We had a great time enjoying each other, talking, talking and talking. And you know we could talk. Also on Saturday 12 people received a gift certificate of 100 pesos (15 dlls) that they could use at the local food store to buy additional food. These 12 people were chosen because they are people that are in need, and even thought we know most of the people at church at in need but these need it a bit more. Enjoy some of the picture of Saturdays X-Mas Dinner!

Feed The Children

As you know we Feed the Children every Saturday mornings. When the cold weather came this year lots of kids did not show in the mornings, except for 3 or 4 children. For those that have stayed at the dorms know that it is cold in the morning at the dorms. Starting December the Feed the Children moved for Saturday mornings to Saturday afternoon, and since the change we have seen the increase in the children again. Every Saturdays for the rest of the season we will be Feeding the Children at noon. These pass two Saturdays we gave, Hamburgers with potatoes chips and popcorn and Turkey with Potatoes salad with popcorn. Keep the Feed The children program in your prayers as well as every child that comes in those doors on Saturdays. Here are a few pictures of these pass two saturdays....enjoy!
