Things are happening…

We have a lot of things going on here in La Mision and we love it! And we need help!

Here are the details.

1. School sponsorship. We believe in education. Especially for the young women here in the community. Our friend Laura (who is a volunteer for the youth group) has wanted to go to school to become a teacher. But she hasn’t had the money. She has been working off and on and trying to save money, but her family has needs as well. Her mom died when we was younger and her younger sister is still in elementary school. Her dad can’t put her through school…but has offered to help.

The school is in Ensenada. The tuition cost is $2405 pesos (or $220 US) per month for 20 months. Her father has agreed to pay for her studio apartment, transportation, food and her books.

We are looking for sponsors to help put Laura through school to become a teacher, which is a great job in Mexico.

2. For the past year, the medical team from Siloe Clinic has been joining forces with another group to provide no-cost healthcare to a very poor community. We decided that we wanted to put on a  service to demonstrate love in a different way as well.

Our friend Daniel (who runs the daycare with his wife Heidi and is going to seminary right now)is going to give a message. We are going to bring a band for music, give away hot dogs on the grill, and hopefully give some basic necessities like rice and beans.

This is a new venture. Therefore we need prayers for people to receive the message, for the details to work out, and for relationships to be made and continued.

3. Our friends Nancy and Vance Ekrem are coming to visit us for Easter along with Andrew Appelwick. We are excited to spend time with them and working with them to be a blessing to the community. We ask for prayers for God to give us opportunities to serve Him and encourage the church and community.

4. More projects. We also have more projects that come to our attention that need resources and people so that we can support people and give work to those who need it. We dream of using our website to gather resources so that we can make things happen. If you would like to know more about this and maybe partner with us, please email us!

So please put us on your list of things to pray for and we promise to show you what happens through pictures and stories!
