Christmas is upon us and we are entering the busiest time of the year, on top of our already busy schedule! With so many blessings at the end of this year, (the grant monies and all the work that is taking place at the Shelter and at the Orphanage), believe me, we are working none stop!

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!
