The month of February has been a very busy month here at the Children’s Home and the Cuatro Community. With forty one children in a family (and growing) each new day God gives us, it brings new challenges and different needs. We have been blessed this month to have the resources to administer the much needed vaccinations to the older children.

Often, I walk through the Cuatro Community (on my way to school) with a bag of supplies consisting of much needed donated medicines and baby food. I see the poverty, hear the cries of hungry babies and see the physical needs; at times I am weighted down with what appears to be hopelessness on the faces of these people. I stop to help, hold unkempt infected babies clean their wounds, encourage malnourished pregnant mom and many times invite them back to the Children’s home for much needed vitamins food and clothes. Our God, the creator desires to reach all of these needs with His amazing love, and He has blessed us to be a part of the Community of God’s people here in Cuatro. As well, this month I have visited medium and maximum security prisons, on one recent visit I had the privilege of meeting and ministering to several families of death row prisoners, these impoverished families travel many days to spend just a few hours with their dads, utilizing the open field outside the prison as their make shift home, not having the basic requirements of daily needs. The needs here are so great and at times seems be insurmountable but as we continue to help we ask you to continue to pray that God will provide wholeness, health and life. Many thanks to everyone who have donated medical supplies etc. enabling us to help the impoverished we meet everyday. Please continue to pray for this growing ministry.
