October 2021 Newsletter
Greetings to all!
Hope all are doing well and strong in the Lord! May I challenge you all to do a good deed and share our Savior with someone, before we let this year come to an end! We still have 3 months left, so let us be busy doing our Lord’s work!
Well, we are going into our second Covid year and many church ministry groups still have not returned! All I can say is, we miss you … more than we can put into words! Your smiles, your hugs and words of encouragement bring so many blessings to our kids and adults!
The skills and help each group provides helps keep our facilities looking nice! And most importantly, each group brings support for sharing the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ to all! So, we want you all to know how important each one of you are to us and our Lord! We love you and miss you! We will be waiting for each one of you with open arms and kisses! Thank you all for your prayers and support that allows us to be a blessing to so many people in these past 25 years!
Huge moment at our Orphanage on Thursday, October 7, 2021.
Her name is Naylea and she is seven years old. She has been with us since she was 3 years old! Naylea has been adopted into a new family!
We all have come to love her, with her brilliant bright smile, she lights up the whole room! Many of our kids were crying as they saw her leave with Rossy, my wife, along with Maria, our Orphanage director! We were sad to see her go, but for her, it is a beautiful new beginning.
We gathered all together, kids and staff, to pray for Naylea’s wonderful new future! She is going to be missed by everybody! Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness!
Our kids, of course, have a hard time understanding this, but we, as La Roca staff, do this for very good reasons! We want our little children to have the best future, with us, or to returned to their home, or, like Naylea, to be adopted into a new family home! So please pray for Naylea, as she learns to love her new family and grow in life! Pray for our staff, as they may continue to do the great work they have continued to do for these many years!
At the ranch things keep moving forward!
Milton has started seminary and serving as staff at the ranch! He is the one who got caught five different times trying to cross the border! He finally realized it was God’s will to stay in Tijuana and become part of La Roca family! Milton has been such a blessing. He has also become our handy man at the ranch and throughout our ministry! Thank you Milton!
Danger at the Dump!
Our kids are getting older and in danger of falling into drugs They are following in the footsteps of their parents! Please keep them in your prayers. Pray also for Pastor Julian along with Leo and two other staff who rotate each week helping meet the needs of those living here! We continue passing out drinking and bathing water to all who come!
We still make oat meal with sweet bread, every morning for all the workers at the dump! We also provide breakfast and lunch for the kids who are living there! We have church service every Sunday and several bible classes through-out the week! Our staff is keeping very busy! Pray for them and us, as your prayers, allow us to continue our dump ministry which has been operating since we began working in Tijuana!
Update in Sonora!
Our full-time staff of 5 is keeping quite busy with lunches for our seniors and kids! We also have 5 Kid Clubs, adding up to over 120 children in our ministry each week! We also have two adult cell groups along with our Sunday service!
We also have a small shelter for travelers who come from the mountains. They have refuge from weather till transport arrives which is only once a day. If you miss your connection, you or your family will have to wait in the streets until the next day! Most of these people are indigenous and come anywhere from 2 to 4 hours away! It’s our hope to reach these people, but we need more ministry people who are well equipped!
We thank you for your continual prayers and support as we continue to reach out, equip and send missionaries in the Name of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Again, thank you for your prays and supports of our Lord’s ministry. Pray that our Lord God continues to allow us to be the feet and hands of Jesus! So we can continue being a blessing to so many people throughout Mexico!
Thanks for being part of La Roca family!
In His Love and Truth, Carlos and Rossy and the rest of the team!
