August 2025 Newsletter

Greetings to all our friends and family!

We are deeply grateful to God, as we continue to witness His grace at work in La Roca. He is faithfully opening doors and touching hearts, allowing His Kingdom to keep growing in Chiapas, Sonora, Oaxaca, and Tijuana through the various ministries.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each one of you who takes the time to read our letters. Your love, prayers, and support are what sustain us and allow us to keep sharing the Good News with men, women, and children—each one with deep spiritual and emotional needs, and a longing to see their lives transformed by the love of Christ.

We are filled with joy and anticipation as we see what God has in store for Armando.

Next month, Armando will return to his hometown of Tapachula, Chiapas, as a missionary. He will be joining the team alongside Magdiel and Virginio. When he was invited to serve in Tapachula, he didn’t hesitate to say YES.

But Armando’s journey isn’t just about serving—it’s also about healing. He is returning with a desire to find peace and restoration by asking forgiveness from his children and the mother of his children. He knows he can’t recover the time he lost with them, but he is committed to being a present and loving father from this day forward.

Let’s keep Armando in our prayers—that God would bring about deep healing and reconciliation, and that forgiveness would flourish in their hearts.

In the meantime, Armando faithfully visits the landfill each week, sharing his testimony and the incredible transformation God has worked in his life. With a heart full of compassion, he encourages those living in that place, embracing them with the same love and grace that once lifted him out of his own darkness. He now becomes for others the arms of Christ that once held him.

House of Grace

Our hearts overflow with joy as we witness each of these precious young lives grow—and how beautiful it is to know that you are part of their journey, walking ha nd in hand with us.

This school year has been one of great celebration. We’ve had many graduates—some are bravely stepping into high school, while others have completed it and are ready to take their next big steps. It's hard to believe that those little ones who once filled our arms with laughter and hope are now becoming strong, passionate young people. How quickly time flies!

Behind each smile, each diploma, each new beginning, there is a story of effort, sacrifice, and unwavering determination. These young hearts are pushing forward, preparing the way for the future they dream of. And though the path isn’t always easy, they continue walking with courage and faith.

But these victories are not theirs alone—they are ours, and yours. Every prayer you've lifted, every gift you've given, every word of encouragement you've shared—it matters. You are a part of their transformation. You are helping raise up a new generation of hope, healing, and purpose.

Thank you for believing in them. Thank you for believing that their lives are worth investing in. The fruit we see today is a reflection of God’s faithfulness—and of your love.
