Text Box: Dear Friends of Harvest Hands Ministries, June 2008 Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are at the midway point of the year and are excited about all the wonderful progress that has been made at the Resplandor de Vida Children’s Home in Mexico. It is with much enthusiasm and anticipation that we look forward to the rest of the year with six more volunteer work teams on the schedule. As Dormitory #1 receives its finishing touches toward completion, important steps have been taken on Dormitory #2. All the underground plumbing has been put in place and the concrete floor is half installed. This dorm will be two stories high, providing staff housing, a library, counseling room and more. We hope to frame in the second level this fall after the plans are approved by the city. To finish Dorm #1, we have to do a little trim work, painting and a cement floor finish. MORE GREAT NEWS! It has been our desire for some time to secure more land in Mexico in order to continue in the vision the Lord has given us, but it was never possible until now. We located the owners of the property adjacent to what we already own and are in the process of purchasing almost double the amount of land at the mission where we are presently building. This land will allow us to one day build a church, community outreach center/medical clinic as well as a Christian school where the children at the shelter may attend along with other children of the colonia. This could not have happened without the quick response of many who answered the call. We are grateful to those who have pledged to help and to those who have already sent in funds. THANK YOU ALL! We, at Harvest Hands, recognize how blessed we are by the Lord and also by His people who so generously help us to do the work on an ongoing basis as we move forward by faith in the call! WE WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE BY THANKING EVERYONE WHO HAS SENT IN FUNDS TO SPONSOR OUR MEXICAN STUDENTS AS WELL AS ORPHANAGE AND MINISTRY SUPPORT... WHETHER IT’S HAND-MADE QUILTS FOR THE CHILDREN’S BEDS, PINTO BEANS, DONATIONS OF ALL KINDS, FINANCIAL, TEAM WORKERS OR PRAYER. ALL ARE A VITAL PART OF HARVEST HANDS & RESPLANDOR DE VIDA! YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO US AND THIS WORK! We praise the Lord and give all glory to God for He has put this vision in our hearts and also shared it with you. Many of you have been faithfully committed for years to stand with us and undergird us with prayer. We hope you sense the same joy we do in anticipation of the children’s arrival. Serving Christ in Mexico, Garry and Terry Mathewson
