Text Box: DESERT FARMS COLONIA FEEDING PROGRAM 200 children receive two meals per week at their school and also hot nutritious meals during vacation bible schools held at the Resplandor de Vida mission. RESPLANDOR DE VIDA MISSION HHM is constructing a children’s shelter in Juarez. This will be a home to 50 impoverished Mexican children ages 6-12 and is located in the Desert Farms Colonia. This community is made up of pallet houses with dirt floors, no water, electricity or gas. God has called us here to work with the poorest of poor. The project consists of two dormitories. One is almost complete and the second has been started. The required wall (9’ ht.) around the property has been finished. The director, Joaquin Estupiñan, is a graduate of the Bible Institute, All the Nations for Christ. He and his wife, Hortencia, run the Resplandor de Vida mission. 47 MEXICAN STUDENTS SPONSORED DURING THE 2007-08 ACADEMIC YEAR The Lord provided funds to sponsor 47 Mexican children/adults to attend school, grades 1-university. Tuition, bus fare, books, uniforms, shoes, sneakers, underwear, backpacks, personal care items and school supplies were provided. In addition, 400 school supply packages were distributed to needy Mexican children. We anticipate the sponsorship of 42 students, including seven at college level, for the 2008-09 academic year. 12-MONTH PASTORAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT Two Mexican pastors are assisted with a love offering monthly.
