IT'S A TIME OF RENEWED HOPE

As we drove through the colonia yesterday with the truck loaded with food, we sought out two families to experience the blessing of God of a new house, as we passed out bags of food. We came across one family renting a house in the colonia and had just purchased a lot down the road and didn't know how they would ever get the money to build something. They had no hope of building unless God provided a miracle. Damian, Natalie and their two kids will experience a miracle next month when hope is renewed and the house gets built. We crossed the canal where Vady and Leticia live with their three kids in house of pallets, dirt floors and a tarp filled with holes making an attempt at keeping all of their possessions dry when the rains come. I believe this will be the family that the students from IIT and Mexico Project.Org will design and build a house for next month. The existing " house" will have to be torn down to make room for the new one. Vadys Mom, Martha, lives next door and the family can stay with them until their hope is renewed. We took some time to get to know them a bit and had a time of prayer and supplication before we left, thanking God for the blessed hope He give us. After the house is built, we told Martha that we could pour concrete through her windows and give her a new floor. She has a good house and very clean too, but all dirt floors make it a real mess when it rains. We continued down the road until all the food was gone and had prayed with a few people that needed healing.
