Mexico

This last Saturday we went down to Mexico. This is a monthly trip for Kaleo, we have been visiting Grace Childrens Home for about 2 years now consistently. If you have not gone, cancel everything you have planned on April 26th and GO! This last weekend was a special trip, this was their 3rd anniversary! They have had such a great impact on the community. At the celebration there were government officials from Tijanua and Rosarito, some of the kids shared their testimonies about how Grace Children's home has changed their lives. These are kids that were literally living on the streets from a really young age, abandoned to fend for themselves, abused, and neglected. It brought tears to my eyes hearing how God's grace has changed their lives, one little boy said,



"When I put my shoes on in the morning, I know that everything is going to be okay".



These are the luxeries that we take for granted all the time, but for him this is something that signifies love, security, a home. It was so great to see all the support that they are recieving from the United States, from various churches, and from the surrounding community. They just recently finished and opened a huge education center on the property, and did a groundbreaking ceremony for their new project that will be an infant care center as well as a retirement home for the elderly, how perfect is that, the old folks taking care of the babies!

Please keep Grace Children's Home in your prayers they are doing a great work down in Mexico, this is a place that is less than 2 hours away, we could have such a greater impact than we do down in Mexico, and we don't even take the opportunity. Consider going on the 26th, you will not regret it, and take your kids too, they would love to play with all the kids!
