Chuy and Carlitos helping take down the old roof.....

The poverty in Puerto Vallarta's outer population can be debilitating for some families....The needs can become overwhelming to meet so I am glad we can come before the King of King's and ask Him to give us direction to help those who are in need of economic help. He faithful has lead us to a group of families in Laguna del Valled who we can than funnel help to from our visiting brothers and sisters from the US and Canada. Today we will start on a roofing project to help our sister Luz and her husband Juan Manuel and their 6 children. The awesome thing is that He has provided the funds through our visiting brothers and sisters and the labor will be done by our Mexican brothers and sisters! What a blessing this combined effort is as we see His love manifested by His church from both places! We are thanking the Lord for letting us be His eyes, hands, and feet in seeing this need met! The family has improved greatly from the time we first met them... Juan Manuel is taking more seriously his role as father, drinking less and working more. We are still praying for His salvation. Luz faithfully attends bible study and church, no matter the conditions she and her family live in. She doesn't limit herself to going because of shame of appearance or other things that normally stop the ladies from the Colonia from attending church. The biggest...."I have to wash clothes and cook for my husband so I can't make it today". Pray for Luz and her children and for her husband's salvation. Her kids are rejected in school because they are very poor and kind of wild. The director told them to come back next year....Pray that we at CCMS will be able to help the boys work on their reading, writing, math, so that they won't be so far behind next year and that they can continue improve in the area of discipline so they will be accepted by their peers...

Thank you our faithful prayer warriors!
