What should their name be?

The church in El Millon has a baseball team, thanks to a blessing of lots of bats, gloves, balls and helmets. The team is being lead by Xavier Ramirez. There first game was at the anniversary of El Millon and they played against "los texanos" a great team. The team in El Millon had only practice twice and they won!!! 12- 2 all the kids where so happy and not to mention Xavier. They really didn't a great job and was super fun to watch. On a funny note: a lady on the other team was saying nasty things about our kids when another lady told her to "shut up because they are the brothers and they are going to give us a food bag this year"! love it!

Our question for you is: what should their name be? what cha think?

El Porvenir

As many of you know Juarez has been going through a lot of things. El Porvenir has been one of the places that has been affected the most. El Porvenir has always had a small group of people there but now people are no longer going to church because of fear. You go to El Porvenir & it is literally a ghost town. We ask that you continue to pray for El Porvenir and its leaders, Victor and Jobita. At times Victor and Jobita get discourage but they know that God will strength them. They believe and know that God has a purpose for El Porvenir. While lots of people left El Porvenir, Victor & Jobita return and tell people that our Lord Reigns!

Thank You Mill Creek!

Just wanted to send a big Thank You to Mill Creek for your help with feed the kids! May God continue to bless everyone of your members. We pray for you and we love you! God Bless!

THANK YOU

Mision Trip Pitures

Recap of September

Well another month is almost over. Can't believe in a little over 3 months 2011 will be over and here comes 2012!
This month started in victory! A group of 10 and 2 children travel to Durango (12 hours south) in the churches van. Our mission was to give children that went to school backpacks and a little sugar too(candy bags). We went to a total of 3 different churches and 5 different church service in 3 days. Everyone that went on the trip was totally blessed to be able to go on this trip. We also were able to stop at two random places. First was a plaza(park) and gave over 60 backpacks and over 80 candy bags(didn't have enough backpacks to give out). We also stop at a basudero(a place were everyone throw their trash), their 5 backpacks were given out to this children that were cleaning an area because they said that was were they were going to live with their parents. I thank God that I and my family were able to go, everyone on the trip learn something and that included myself. I learned that I might not be able to provide for my daugthers as much as I would love to but at least I am present. This is why I say this. At one of the churches that we went to there was 2 boys around 8 or 9 years old. We were talking and all of the sudden one of them saids "I can't play with him(the other boy), because last time he told me he wanted to play boyfriends and my parents hit me". After this boy left we talked to the other one and he said that his mom and dad work all the time and that he is always left alone with his older brother. My mom and I were in awe of what we had just heard, and at that point I thank God that even thought I might not be able to provide money wise to my daughters but I was present in their lives and believe me, will always be too. In a few days I will post some pictures of the trip.
Also would like to add that on September 26 my parents celebrated their 29th anniversary. Continue to pray for them. That even thought there are many things to do, that they don't forget about each other. Happy Anniversary Ma y Daddy!!! 29 is not so much...its still young... I mean.... you know what I mean. I love you both!

Back 2 School 2011

over 700 backpacks we given out on August 20 and 21st. here are a few of the many pictures we took of these days. I think this year was very calm beside the fact that in one service we gave over 400 backpacks!! God is good and we praise him because so many children got their backpacks with school supplies. We pray that they have a great school year. Enjoy some of the picture... Thanks for your support and prayers!

They're back!

7 wonderful and missed people(friends) from Indiana (New Life and NMC) came down during B2S 2011. It was such a great blessing and surprise to see them all. We have prayed that God be able to seen teams down and what a great team to send down after a year and so. Spiritually it was so refeshing to see them, to be able to talk to them and have them pray over us. They were of great help. Helping give out more then 700 backpacks in the Juarez Area.

God Bless you all and we shall see you again.
