Four boys finished Elementary School

Silvestre is very happy at hisgraduation

Angel very handsome at his graduation

Seven years of elementary school went very fast and it is really great to see four of our children ready to start next year High School. It was not easy for all of them to get here because some of them came without any education but we can see how faithful is our Lord.

Dinner at a fancy restuarant to celebrate their graduation

The boys were very happy to go to a fancy restaurant to celebrate their graduation, but for them the most  important thing was that they  celebrate as a family and share this moment with the people that is working and taking care of them every day.

Denis looks really happy

Engler and his teacher

Silvestre, Denis, Angel, and Engler are going to face a different stage next year because some of them are going to attend a new school and we know that this will bring new challenges for them. We pray that God will guide them and help them to continue going further.

Rehab Center in Nicaragua

They were waiting for lunch

Betty and the kitchen staff

We are very happy because the Lord is changing many hearts in Nicaragua. The ministry started in September 2006 and  we can see how faithful is the Lord because the ministry is growing every day. We have a couple from Guatemala working there to develope the center and also we have six men from Nicaragua running the center, they enter into the program and after that they decided to stay to be part of the staff. I think the Lord is calling some of them to continue with this vision, and we pray that more men can know our Lord Jesus.

A Group from Missouri

Two weeks ago all of us had a very good time with the group from Missouri. The leaders of the group were Joel and Deneth and they did a very good job. They were here for a week and  during that week they started to build a car port at the childrens home. First they removed all the dirt and then they leveled the land. It was very hard but I think it was a very good experience for everyone. The ladys also worked very hard painting the inside walls of the rooms and also Rachel did a very good job drawing some spidermen and trucks on the walls of some rooms and also she made a draw and the letters of the outside wall, it was an excellent job.




The concrete  floor is finished





What was really important was the love of  Jesus that they shared with all of us. 

God is the one that put us together regardless of where we are. It is just by the grace of God that we all can work together to show others the love of Jesus.





July´s Groups



The two groups that visited in July have been coming for various years and we were glad to see them again.  One group came with Terri and Jeff Sprecher.  They enjoyed playing with and getting to know the children through games and crafts. 



The children were very excited to recieve presents!



The group brought gifts for all of the

children.  Thank you!

 



 

   

The group and the children enjoyed playing basketball



 Ken and Sue lead a group of 19 people from Chicago who visited this month.  They spent a day in the rehabilitaion center.  They started the day with a devotional in which they shared thier testimonies and the love of God.  After this they helped out by painting the outside walls of the center.  It was really encouraging to spend time with this group and we are thankful for the comunion that we have through Christ!  They also spent a day at the chíldren´s home.  They prepared a special lunch of spaghetti and ricecrispy bars.  They also did

crafts and preformed a short drama

that encouraged the chidren to believe

in Jesus Christ.

These two groups have helped to cover some of the needs of the home and we are very thankful for them!



Happy Birthday to Maria and Miguel

 Is very nice to see Maria growing everyday, she is twelve years old now and thank God she is also improving in different areas; She is doing better in reading and writting.  We can see God´s grace in her life and we now that is the Lord who has the perfect plans for her.

Geovany Miguels´s brother is the one that is giving to Miguel the cake, is very nice to see them growing togheter. Marias´s brother is also the one who decorated and serve the cake to Maria. For them is very important to have people to count with, and to have a family that loves them.





Children growing very fast.

Children are changing and growing very fast every day, and some times we don´t realize how fast they have been changing. Some of them are not the same anymore because their minds and interests have changed a lot, no longer have the same hobbies.  Angel and Moses are a very good example of that.

Angel doing homework about seven years ago.

Marching for Independece Day

Now he is sixteen years old and he is already
thinking about having a girlfriend.

 He is a very good student and he also really likes to help with the shores and is very good playing soccer. Now I feel older than before!

He came very little like the others.

Moses is now seventeen years old , he is studying and also  is in a mechanic shop practicing to be a mechanic. He really wants to become an excellent mechanic and to have his own shop.  He loves to play the guitar and also to play soccer.

His favorite soccer team is Barcelona

We thank God they are very healthy boys and very smart. They now are more mature in some areas and I believe God is healing their hearts. To grow is not easy for them because they have to face many difficult situations but God has been faithful with them.

New Life and Peace homes

We are living through very difficult times because it is sad to see that there is no longer the fear of God throughout the world. And that is why we are very grateful for the children and the men that God has given us. Because it is a great responsibility to have a children´s home and rehab centers and take care that they are going to have some people that are going to lead them to Jesus Christ. Is not just a social work is a responsability before the Lord. Paul said in Romans 12: 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God´s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Visitors in March

 It was really good to have an Orphan Resources group a month ago, all the kids had a good time making crafts and having fellowship with all the group and of course the chicken was really delicious.







great time to fellowship













A group from canada came for one week to fellowship with the children and also to help with some works like painting a front wall outside and also working in the garden.



Having a good time with the girls.

February.

Somehow February flew by and we are now in March. The children are completely back into their school routine and we have all adjusted to the new schedule for the year. There were a few "I can't sit still in school after my vacation" incidents but the kids have calmed down and things are more or less smooth. :)

Lassi wanted in too.

At the end of January the Morales family (who faithfully comes every visiting Saturday to visit the kids who don't get family visits) wanted to bring a treat and pray over the new transition home for our teens. It was exciting for them as they have watched these teens grow from young children into young men and seen our property change and grow. They brought tamales and hot chocolate and everyone had a good time.

 We were all waiting to start and Spats felt like he should be a part of the gathering. :)

Victor, Chici and part of the Morales family.

Eating tamales.    Getting cake.

Edgar brought his girlfriend home for us to meet. ;)

Our children are doing well and we are excited to see what this year has in store for us all!

Going back to School

After three months of vacation they are really excited to go back to school. 

  

 The first day is alwas exciting because they see all their old  friends and they meet new friends.
