Our November prayer letter
November 2008
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We hope this letter finds you and your family well! We have enjoyed a busy fall season, with the start of school, continued construction on the Education Center and breaking ground of our newest project, Grace Babies’ Home. It never ceases to amaze us to see all that God is doing at Grace Children’s Home (GCH).
In August of this year, we were able to send 13 children from GCH (plus our own kids) to private schools (some of them are in the photo above). This opportunity has been provided by several sponsors who understand the value of providing our children with a good education, something that is very limited at the local public schools. Through such generous donors, our kids are receiving an excellent education, completely changing the course of their lives and equipping them to be leaders and lights for Christ in this society.
We are also on the verge of opening the Education Center. This 3 ½ story building has been under construction for 3 years and will provide space for a multitude of activities – tutoring, computer instruction, dental/medical facilities, dorms for teams, outreach, etc. What is amazing is that the building has been built through the generosity of God’s people who have given of their finances, time and talents – one donation at a time, one group at a time.
Additionally, we began breaking ground on Grace Babies’ Home (GBH). Located across the street from the children’s home and GBH will house up to 20 abandoned and needy babies. There is a huge need in Tijuana for facilities to care for these babies. GBH hopes to be part of the solution. You too can be part of the solution!
On Saturday, January 31, 2009 we will host our first Grace Children’s Home Gala Fundraiser Event, benefiting the baby home construction project. It will be a dinner and auction held at El Adobe de Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. If you would like more information or can attend this event, please let us know. We’d love to send you an invitation! As Isaiah 1:17 says “Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows”.
Finally, as we approach the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, we pray the peace of our Lord will fill your home and heart. While the current events today would tell us to worry and fret, we trust God holds our lives in His hands. We really do have much to be thankful for and we can rely on the God who laid down His life for us!
Gratefully your partners in Mexico,
