FELIZ NAVIDAD

Christmas came a few days early in the colonia Saturday as we had over 400 people come for food and gifts for the children. WOW what a crowd!! We had to use another lot to hand out the cooked sausage and drinks to the kids, while Mom and Dad waited in line for the beans and rice. Paula gave the Christmas message and 10 people came forward to recieve Jesus Christ as their Saviour. A Church bus drove by and started throwing candy out the window and one little boy got run over by the bus and God protected him from any broken bones. Santa came from Reynosa and blessed the children with gifts. Saturday night, Hector, Stephanie and Samantha Hernandez came from Houston along with Gracie and Mary-Bell and brought a trailer full of toys and clothes. Our intent was give the gifts out in the colonia we minister in, but God had another plan and we ended up in a colonia no-one ever goes to, and as a result one Lady got saved, and several parents brought their sick,retarted, and physically handicapped children to us for prayer. The power of God filled that colonia as we prayed for healing and deliverence. We met a Pastor and his family and hope to see them again. We had a jar with HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS written on one piece of paper, and as we drove around every child drew one folded paper and the one that had Happy Birthday Jesus got the bicycle in the photo below. It was exciting to see her little face as we gave her the bike. We couldn't even give out all the gifts we had yesterday, so we'll do it again on Christmas Eve. Julie had her 2nd Birthday and we were invited to the party. Always a good time in Mexico.
