Home Again, Again,..

Maria is back living at Una Esperanza

I just returned from my first solo trip to Una Esperanza in well over a year and it was not quite the same without Lesli and Noah (or Dina) along. Our finances are at an all time low right now so I made this trip alone to save money. Please pray for us and for Gods provision as the financial resources required to sustain the Una Esperanza ministry center have been steadily growing as we minister to even more children each week!

The Una Esperanza store nears completion and the proceeds will help to financially sustain the ministry center.

Maria returned to Una Esperanza last week so I flew out to help her get settled in and I also brought her some new clothing and other essential items. She has grown quite a bit since we last saw her in August and she’s very happy to be living back at Una Esperanza. We’ve been told that Mariquita will be back in three months as well so please keep this in your prayers.

I’m happy to share that the war with the Indians over the Mariquita rescue seems to have ended peacefully. All of our regular Tarahumara children are back at the center and we even have quite a few new kids. The place is crawling with kids each day and most often filled to capacity! The children are really responding to the daily Bible lessons and we're seeing glimpses of the spiritual breakthrough that we’ve been praying for. Our staff is really focused and excited about this new year and there’s an excitement in the air about “making much about Jesus”.


I’ve posted a new photo gallery from this trip on the website.
