Can you believe it, summer is now over and kids are back in school! My wife and I are keeping busy taking Christina across the border to school every morning and then picking her back up. Believe it or not our daughter in now a senior in high school. She is not quite sure what she wants to study, but she still loves singing and dancing and loves to model. Karla, who is now 10 years old also loves singing and dancing, just like her sister and is studying in Tijuana in the fifth grade.

I hope you are enjoying summertime wherever you are. In light of your ongoing faithfulness and partnership, much ministry is being done every day.

From taking care of 30 children at our own orphanage,children whose mothers are on drugs or prostitution, teens that go to sleep crying because their mothers never came back for them or have seen them working in the streets!

We are so excited to announce that the Orphanage has been purchased and we have money to spare for paying closing cost and attorney fees!  It’s one of so many praise reports of God’s faithfulness! Thanks to each one of you that helped us reach our goal. We had a grand opening, with the cutting of the ribbon and letting the children participate in this joyful exciting time for La Roca Ministries and of course our beautiful children.

Hope is going well with you and family! Can you believe it; the month of January is gone. We have been so busy with the negotiations for the purchase of the shelter and church building; both my wife and I are ready to go on a retreat!

Greetings to all and may we all be a flame of light of HOPE to all those who are desperate and in despaired! Can you believe it? Christmas is just around the corner!  Christmas ought to be the most wonderful time of the year, with hope and cheer. Yet, the sad reality is that in Tijuana this is not the case. You walk the streets and you see many women enslaved in prostitution and their kids just running around the streets like crazy. Then you see drug deals going down almost in every corner and the kids being used as the ones that do the deliveries and in some cases the sales!
