November 2020 Newsletter

Greeting to all!

I hope you and your families have a great Thanksgiving!

In the midst of this pandemic crisis, around the world, no one can deny that America has much for which to be thankful!

Continually, let us be giving our loving Father thanks for His goodness to us all and to you and your families!

Now with thanksgiving season and Christmas just around the corner! We focus on bringing a little happiness to the children of the dump and the Zona Norte!

We need to also remember our senior citizens in the state of Sonora. Most of these people don’t have a family and the ones who do live so far away they just don’t have the money to visit or send help.

We also want to focus on our own kids at the House of Grace and all those who struggle with putting food on their own table.

But at the same time, we are working hard making disciples of the men and fathers, women and mothers in our programs!

Here is a quick example, during last months baptisms, Jose Luis and family came to visit us at the ranch! Jose was so excited to tell us how God had restored His entire family, even his mother in law came! Now that say’s a lot! It was truly a miracle from God!

Jose is in the middle left standing next to his wife and children! What a praise report!

I still stand by the idea that the best and biggest gift a child can receive is having their fathers and mothers back into their lives! We work very hard with God’s grace to make this a priority.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case! So, we work hard bringing happiness to children whose parents have decided not to come back to their children! La Roca has become their home and family for many homeless children!

Update from the House of Grace! Edith who is now 22 years old, has finished her high school and has been training to become an assistant nurse. And at the same time, Edith has been working in our office part time helping Anahi. She finishes nursing school in January of 2021 and starts her hands-on training in a private hospital where there are no Covid patients! We are so proud of her, she has come a long way!

Our calling at La Roca Ministries is to step up into our community with food for the body as well as great Good News for people’s souls!

One easy way to help us fulfill our mission is to use “smile.amazon” when shopping on line.

We are an approved charity at Amazon.com. So just select La Roca Ministries Inc from the list of amazon charities and Amazon will channel a donation to us with each and every purchase you make. Thank you for helping us in this simple way!

Great News, we now have electricity wired into our Sonora campus! It took us awhile because funds were being used to feed the people and pay the bills! But praise to God, for allowing us to reached our goal!

Now we need at least three air conditioners to be ready for the coming summer heat where temperatures over 100 degrees are frequent! To get this accomplished a $2,550.00 gift is needed. Christmas is coming, just a thought!

Also, our missionary Itzel has come back to Tijuana to get some well deserve rest and visit her family as well! She has been serving for a whole year in Sonora! She will return after she comes back from Chiapas! Please keep our missionary team that are out there now in Sonora. There names are Zuriel and Agustin!

Indeed, we are a small organization, but we have a big team and a big God! It’s only right that we take on the big challenges in front of us!

Nothing can stop the church of Christ! He is our head and He has given us our marching orders! Amen!

So I want to express a sincere Thank You to those who faithfully pray for us and certainly to those who also can financially support us on a regular basis!

We continue to expand, and in doing this, we are trusting God to supply our needs, and this He continues to do through you!

Thank you for investing in us, thank you for being His conduit. To be honest, sometimes I think, what if it doesn’t come in this month?

But then I come to my senses, and remember we have a great God and we have a great team! We work hard with no regrets!

In His Love, Carlos – Rossy and the rest of the team!
