Your giving now provides a place of comfort and refuge for the
children and families of Matamoros. Alongside the men’s recovery
has grown up a vibrant congregation. This roof is new because of
your giving. They now have a place to worship. Much is still to be
done. This is a huge event.
This year the response was so great, there was just
enough for the children.

One of our greatest joys has been the extension of
ministry into the colonias or neighborhoods. In the last two
years we have been going into the mud and paved street
areas of the city outside of the congregation. A great
success has been the colonia home outreach support by
Maricioz Gracia and his family. Maricioz was originally a
man in the recovery center. He now is a leader in the
congregation. In this colonia, the president has been
converted and he helps with all efforts. He is a man
greatly in love with Jesus.

Dr. Carillo continues to minister greatly in the
congregation.
In May, we held a “Factor de Amistad” focus
with parents and teens and family unity as the
focus. It was beautiful to see the touch of God
in families.
One of our great joys is the work among men in
PRESIDENT OF COLONIA WITH RAUL the church and congregation. There are a total
of 17 men studying the Seven Secrets of
Effective Fathers. Some of the studies are held in a mechanic’s shop.
DR. CARILLO
The material is now being integrated into a total
family study.
These men are proud of the progress as fathers and
men in the community as they study God’s word and
apply in their neighborhoods.
Your support is so necessary. Whether it is school
supplies or gifts or $dollars to help with travel and the
local congregation, it is all needed. This community is
in a war zone. It is not uncommon for military to fly
through the streets with 10 vehicles full of armed
soldiers on their way to an engagement. At night it
can be quite disturbing to see a cadre of soldiers
driving with no lights in order to surprise cartel
members.
Thank you for your love and support.
