A day of emotion...In the morning we visited a nursing home in Merida. The lady who runs this home takes abandoned and ill seniors into her home to care for them. Today, she was living in her tiny house with 38 elderly people who would otherwise be homeless and dying on the streets. Even so, it was stunning to see bed after bed literally one beside the other, with absolutely no privacy or personal space available. When someone needs to be hospitalized they transport them by t

Yesterday was a day of contrasts - we observed the modern and the ancient; the wealthy and the poor. Our day started early as we headed out to the Mayan ruins in Dzibilchaltun. This served to give us some perspective on the history of the people we are ministering to - 40% of the people on the peninsula are Mayan and a majority of the people we are serving are from this people group.

We also spent time organizing the donations we brought a

We had a very busy and exciting time with 20 youth and 10 adults from Brentview Baptist church! We worked with three of our Mexican Partners hi-lighted below: Pastor Miguel (Merida) We made 400 sandwiches and distributed them to hungry people waiting outside a hospital in Merida. While we somewhat expected there to be a stampede to get sandwiches, we were pleasantly surprised when people came asking for prayer and a Bible or tract. Alongside Pastor Miguel and his Spanish co
