church service

we had a lovely church service this sunday... where Pastor's wife preached, had worship and thanksgiving, where a lot of them get up and share how good God has been to them... very encouraging and then we offered dinner.

it is awesome to see the church get hands on the project, and being soo passionate about this vision. they all cooked something at home and brought it over to share with the migrants. we are really blessed as a church to have such open hearted people, we praise God for that.

we praise God because in the midst of the economy and specially Mexico's situation, there are people still giving/sharing what they have. the people at the village got some nutritious food, that probably hadnt had in a while and we know that this is only because God speaks to hearts and he provides.

the kids love it when the church cooks for them, cos they say they eat weird food! because they have never eaten fried chicken, hot dogs, spaguetti bolognese... etc!!!

there is a lot more they still need to try.... dont you think? =)

Doctors in Village!

These are great news!

The government has compromised to send doctors and nurses to the Village every two weeks to check up anyone around the area. These are some pictures of the last visit!

YAY! praise God!

Food + Prayer= happy migrants!

ok, so we've recieved an email from Hillarious Givers a food organization in San Diego.

they said they have food to give to the village!!!!!!!! foood!!!!! it is very exciting!

but very frustating. because we have no way to bring it accross. please help us pray for a truck. volunteers, cars to bring it over.

we need the food! there is a lot of need around the village. families have no jobs, no incomes, no food. it is very frustating.

Ensenada is a safe place to be. Not saying this to get you to come. I'm saying this because it is true. If you were here last year. It's still the same. well, some bussinesses have shutdown.

Honestly, If you feel in your heart to come, and you're stopped because of fear you're missing out.

please help us pray that some way or the other this food gets accross.

Dia Del NiÑo!!!

We celebrated Dia del nino (kid's day) this sunday at the village.

We thought it was only gonna be very small but around 400 people showed up! it was great!

we had jumping castles, volleyball, songs, Pinatas, cake, lots and lots of candy, etc...

the kids were loving it! they couldnt believe all of it was for them. the pinata situation was brutal. you cannot believe what those kids would do for candy. e.i. hey boy! stop bitting that girl! its just one candy! lol.

while we were giving out the cake and jellow, we were saying happy dia del nino and God bless you. It was soooo awesome! sooo awesome to see their faces shinning and their pop out when they'd see the cake, jellow and sweets.

Beautiful. during prayer, I spot a kid who was repeating what the pastor said with such seriousness, it was so encouraging to see this kid praying so passionately to a God who he didnt know existed before. but Im sure he can see it. I asked him Jose, who loves you? and with no hessitation he said God. then I asked him, who else? with no hessitation he said, you.

I dont know if these kids get the love they deserve from their families. but I know that when I ask other kids around my area, they say God, then, mom, dad as second choice. whether because of lack of knowledge, culture or really lack of love, I pray they can see us and take us as examples of how to love and be loved.
