SAVE THE DATE JUNE 1ST 1:00 PM

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned a pizza party date without confirming with the church first, so the date of the pizza party will be June 1st at Moraine valley Church at 1 PM following their services and classes. The address is 6300 w. 127th St. Palos Heights Il 60463. All are welcome, but we will need some kind of a head count for ordering pizza, so let me or Paula know how many in your group or family will be there. If anyone would like to help or bring a dessert or veggie tray let us know. We always have a great time sharing about what our partners have accomplished in mexico and around the world for that matter.

A HUGE GOD BLESS YOU TO DR. CLARK AND ALL THAT SUPPORT OUR WORK IN MX.

Our first dental clinic was a huge success and a huge blessing. Fifty patients in two days kept the doc pretty busy and we want to thank him for his service to the " least of these", our friends in Reynosa. Yesterday we also had our monthly food outreach and 195 families were represented. The Gospel was preached, people were prayed for and the 250 children that came each got a bag full of gifts and a juice box for the "Day of the Child which is actually on April 30th. Another great week in paradise!!
   I know I said we were so done with building houses after a 4 month stretch of non stop building, so we bought a home yesterday from a family that moved away and gave it to two single moms that are sisters and between them they have 9 children. I know what you are thinking and I often think the same way, why do they keep having children? I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that Jesus doesn't condemn them either. He loves them as much as he loves you and me and hung on the cross at Calvary for them, so I have to remind myself that I'm not there to judge them, but to help then any way we can, and through that act of worship, they might come to know Jesus. So we have to do some work on the house, and build them a bathroom, but all in all it is a good home. They were living in one of the houses we built 4 or 5 years ago with 9 other people, so 20 people living in one small house made their decision to move an easy one.
    We are planning on leaving here on May 7th to attend my cousins wedding in the Chgo area on the 10th of May, ( also my birthday) and will be around for a few weeks, attend one more wedding on the 30th of May and then possibly head to Kentucky to help World Mission Builders build a church there. We will be hosting a pizza party at Moraine Valley Church in Palos Heights, as we usually do when we are in town. We will confirm the churches availability for the 1st of June right after the church service and Sunday School classes, so probably a 12:30 or 1:00 start time. Stay Tuned and Thanks for praying for us and faithfully supporting us.

CAVITIES FILLED AND SOME TEETH EXTRACTED

Phil and Marianne Chain are the directors of Mexico Missions, Inc and invited Dr. Clark to come and test out the portable dental lab that Phil and I bought 2 years ago. It was a huge blessing to those that came and the lab worked great. Just the sound of the drills made me shiver and it did a few of the kids as well. Many of the people had never been in a dental chair before today and Dr Clark did everything he could to calm the hearts of the fearful. Paula, Phil and Marianne assisted the Doc for over 8 hours and 30 patients. I made sure the people waiting had water to drink and even bought everyone a freeze pop when he came jingling through the colonia. I kept the kids occupied with coloring books and crayons while they waited their turn in the chair.
    Tomorrow we have our monthly food and clothes distribution and the doc will see patients after that.I built a few more benches to try to get everyone a place to sit, but I still need a few more. So much to do, so little time!

14 HOUSES BUILT IN 15 WEEKS------- WE ARE SO DONE!!!!!

It was a great time on Wednesday dedicating the last of the fourteen houses we have had the privilege of building since January. Isaias and his wife Brenda are a very young couple with two small children. They have lived with their parents their whole lives, even after they married and started building their family. Well that has all changed for them now, thanks to the generous support of those of you that give to our ministry. We had no team, or special donation to build the house or the last one for that matter, but God. I love that expression, BUT GOD, who is rich in mercy and love , provides for the needs of the poor. We had the foundation ready for a few months and never had the opportunity to build it, until this week. Two days, start to finish and thats it for a while.
    We have Dr. Clark here from OK doing a dental clinic with the portable dental lab we bought a year or so ago. He will be here two days, so please pray for a problem free outreach. A dental visit is probably hard for most of the people in the colonia, that only go when things are really bad with a tooth or whatever.
