It is to no surprise that the violence around the dump continues. Moises, who is 31 years old, was shot. The bullet entering his abdomen caused complications with his stomach, causing him to go into surgery. They ended up cutting out part of his large intestine. He needs bags to place around the opening to allow his stool to drain.
Since the Thanksgiving celebration, where we had around 250 people for dinner, things have not slowed down!
We of course did not do this by ourselves, our dear brothers from Sacramento have been faithfully helping us out during Thanksgiving week for 10 years now! Thanks to all for being faithful, we could not have done it without them!
How time flies by; I really can’t believe that Christmas and Thanksgiving are both just around the corner again! However, we should be excited, considering that we will be celebrating and giving thanks for the birth of our savior and redeemer!It’s unfortunate that we get so wrapped up with all the dinners, gifts and events that we lose sight of the most important event of this season! So I want to tell you all to stop and take a breath and give thanks, and then have a wonderful Christmas celebration, Amen!
Well summer is over! With Halloween and Christmas supplies and decorations all around us, it’s hard not to over look that summer is over!
Our kids are back in school with all new uniforms and school supplies, and a list a mile long. It’s nothing but a miracle that all the needs are met though the body of Christ. I can’t imagine doing all this without all those who faithfully support us in prayer and financially.
We want to say a big thank you for supporting La Roca with your prayers and donations. The ministry continues to serve the people of Tijuana and share God's love with them through the shelter (which houses up to 200 men and women daily), House of Grace Children's Home, the Ranch (a rehabilitation and discipleship center) and church services. We have recently started congregating in two new neighborhoods; Valle de Las Palmas and the City Dump.
First off, I would like to say, thank you all for your prayers and support. Like always, there is so much to write about what is taking place in our ministry. From bringing the shelter to having over 200 people per night, to taking care of little children who have no stable home to live at, because of addictions and prostitution.
The first thing I want to do is thank you for all your prayers; for believing in us and not giving up on us! Well, we have big news. An unknown person has provided the rest of the funds for the purchase of the church and shelter property! What a Praise report! God is good, Amen! Let us all shout with joy and proclaim God’s goodness, for He is good all the time!
We are marching forward into October with so many activities including: sending off Federico, mother and Nacho into the Tijuana dump, 2 weddings, a Graffiti contest on Oct 25th, and celebrating Jesus night on the 31st. On top of all that, our annual board meeting on October 17th! Please pray for all of us, as we have began our busiest time of the year, all the way till the end of 2014.

I hope you all find yourselves well after such a fast start this year. I can’t believe it! It’s March already! Easter is just around the corner! What a wonderful event that took place that the world cannot over look; Jesus lives! The grave could not keep Him nor did death have the strength to hold Him. Satan thought he had a victory; but Jesus broke through all bondage so that you and I can live!
