Board of Directors’ Visit
We have a Board of Directors made up of 12 people who help to guide the ministry and encourage the staff, and twice a year, they come down to the border to spend time with us. This month during their visit, they laid blocks and poured columns at the Deantin community center in Naranjito, had an equipping and empowerment session with the staff, and had meetings with David and Colleen to hear how the year has been and plan together for where the ministry is going. It was a wonderful time together, and we are so thankful for each of them!
Sewing Class Back in Action
This month, we restarted our sewing program after a years-long hiatus. The program is being led by our friend from the community, Lupita, and anyone who attends will learn anything from the basics to the advanced techniques of sewing. We have already seen a lot of interest and excitement from the community. so we are glad to have this blessing back as part of the ministry!
Celebrating Mexico!
This month was Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16. In honor of the day, our church in Miguel Alemán hosted a celebration, full of good food and fun! Viva Cristo!
Big Projects in the Works
We have some exciting projects that we’re working on! This month, we had a visit from our architect Arturo, which made us even more excited for what’s ahead. First, we are gearing up to finish the year strong at the Deantin community center in Naranjito. Arturo helped us draw up plans for the center back in 2019, and revisiting the area with him today helped us envision what’s next. And second, we are working on an extension of the main Reynosa complex! 🎉 This will be a years-long project, but we are looking forward to making plans, with Arturo’s help, that will allow us to utilize the additional space to bless the community, as well as our local staff. God is truly good!
