SO MUCH TO SAY, SO LITTLE TIME

    Last Sunday, I joined the Power Ministry for the day, which started with devotions at the Deportee Ministry called Sende Vida. This is where men and women end up after being deported from the U.S. or where some end up while trying to enter the U.S. Hector runs the facility that the Power Ministry has been supporting for years. They have done several building projects and the facility has been transformed from a dump to a place of refuge for so many. Hector shared about Gods Power to work all things out together for good and for His reconciling goodness bringing Hector and his estranged wife back together. I was able to share with the men for a couple of minuets before we headed to church.
    Once we arrived at Alianza Dome Church in Reynosa, we all sat together through the message before heading up on the stage where a few men gave Glory to God through their testimony. It was another awesome time with the Power Ministry. We had lunch at the church before heading to Childrens Haven Orphanage for a huge carnival for the entire community. There had to be a thousand people there, enjoying games, food, and many prizes. Ray, Cody, Brian and I were in charge of blowing up hundreds of soccer balls, and keeping the games supplied with gifts. Prefect weather and a perfect day ended with the entire Power Ministry team eating at the Golden Coral Buffet in Texas.
   Monday Alfred and I picked up a few skids of rice and over 600 bibles that Power donated to us, and after unloading the rice at our warehouse, we headed over to Mx. to meet the Power team at Gators Big Heart Orphanage for lunch. Giant Baked potatoes with steak, cheese and smoked chicken. It always seems to be about the food.
   Tuesday we headed to Mexico for Paulas final sewing class until Feb. 9th when she will return from Chicago to assist the Net Menders Ministry building the kitchen in the Community Center in Mx. During the class, Alfred and Gladys cleaned every inch of the Pantry in the Community Center, with the help of several kids.
   We got all of the year end donation statements in the mail, if you donated to the ministry and didn't get one let us know! Paula is in Chgo and I'll be heading there next week, to welcome our grandchild into this world, so she can return here on the 8th for the net menders group.
