Education

Billy met with the Department of Education & explained what was happening with the children testing positive. He asked permission to stop classes & give the children the grades they have earned for 3 and ½ semesters. They agreed so the university students will continue with virtual studies…

They need a rest

We asked the dorm parents to have prayer and to share with the children in their dorm since we could not have church services all together. Everyone needs a rest.

Community prayer

Warfare takes many forms. If you have followed the last 2 months you know that we had an original outburst of 9 staff and children test positive for Covid with only Josue’ hospitalized. Then Alex in dialysis and 18 older boys and 1 younger boy are currently in…

3 days

Josue, Billy, Alex and others worked long hours to get the 16 boys who tested positive moved from their dorms to the visitor’s dorm on the back property. Coordinating food and education were major factors. We are going to quarantine all dorms for 3 days by giving each…

Miracle needed

I have felt so badly about not writing thank you cards to those of you who are still giving through out this pandemic. But, praise God, Debbie was finally able to get me the mail. It goes back months but I promise I will begin writing today. Josue…

Nice to have visitors

Dave and his family games and snacks with the baby dorm and then the corn hole games and hot food with the older boys in Buen Pastor. It is so nice to have visitors able to come and provide blessings for the children after so many months of…

New Girl

The courts sent us a 12 year old who has been abused by parents, grandparents and brother. When she was told she would be in a dorm with only girls she was so happy. Dave and Amy have quarantined long with their son Tyler. Today they had craft…

Did you know?

Did you know that the director of Casa was our first child and that all the following are young adults who were raised at Casa? There are 2 associate directors, purchaser, financial officer, school director, cooks, laundry workers, 4 pairs of husbands and wives who are house parents,…

Music

I messed up yesterday and sent today’s update. So I will just say that our Sunday service worship and praise was out of sight. We have no more news on the dialysis kids.

Dialysis

Before they were to do the surgery on Alex they did a Covid test and it was positive so Aroldo went to a lab and redid the test. It was negative but the hospital would not readmit him. So we are now quarantining the dialysis house for to…

Alex

Covid deaths in the USA have surpassed 718,000 making it the worst pandemic in USA history. There have been 44,444,146 cases. God continues to protect our younger, under 18, children although Arolodo is watching Alex closely. The Day of the Child continued into the night so it…

Costumes

Alex from dialysis was hospitalized today. Pray for him. Dave and Amy arrived today from Texas as they will become house parents next year. They will be in Esperanza so we still have two other dorms that need house parents. Day of the Child has arrived so the…

Preperations

All of the dorms have been preparing for The Day of the Child, which will include home made costumes, games, food, etc. Praise God we no longer have any cases of COVID here on campus. One of the boys must get a COVID test today so that he…

Happy days

It is incredible how fast this month has gone. This Friday is the Day of the Child so most of the dorms have put together their money from sponsors and will do something special. After telling the children that we will have graduation and queceaneras the joy and…

My Sister

My heart just fell into pain and disbelieve when I was told that my sister, Charlotte, has been diagnosed with leukemia. Again I ask your prayers for someone I love. We had Sunday worship services for the first time with songs. The older boys had a presentation. No…

Volcano

Over 20,000 people crossed from Guatemala into Mexico heading towards the US border. Remember the volcano Fuego(Fire) that erupted 3 years ago? The government announced that it is very active and rumbling. Seems that everyday I ask you to pray so pray for protection.

Ozzie

The collage boys are so happy that today was their last day monitoring the school classes. All the girls have tested negative for COVID and will begin tutoring next week. Ozzie, our grandson, cut the back of his lower foot and ankle very severely. Please pray. Pastor David…

We need Jesus

I know of so many people who are ill. We all need to be intercessors in these days. The world is nothing like it was even 10 or 15 years ago. Pandemics, wars, racial hatred as well as hatred of religion, millions and millions more babies being aborted,…
