You are helping dreams come true!

Something that all little girls in Mexico dream about is their 15th birthday party! It is seen as that time when a little girl becomes a young woman.
We were so blessed that many people joined us in providing a special birthday for Alexa. We are thankful for all of her sponsors who care enough to provide for her on a monthly basis! We are also thankful for each person in Mexico that shared in some way to make this day a special day in her life. For example, a dressmaker donated her beautiful dress, a bakery donated a cake, and a local company donated the gazebo!
The day was like a dream come true for Alexa. When it was time to go to bed she asked her house mom if she could sleep in her dress. She didn't want to take it off! As a small girl she had always hoped for a beautiful 15th birthday party - but when things fell apart in her life, she believed that she would never see her dreams come true.
Thanks to you, each of our children can dream big dreams! They can dream dreams that didn't seem possible in the situations they lived in before coming to live at Niños de Mexico.
In His service,
Steve Ross
Executive Director

Budding Artists
The kids continue to grow and develop. As they are still somewhat "locked down," the house parents are continually looking for new ways to expand their minds. This helps them from being overcome with sadness or anxiety.
If you would like to see more of the kids creations click here to see art work from the Genesis, Esperanza and Bethel homes. We are thankful that the house parents work hard to help each of the kids develop talents and at the same time keep their minds distracted during this pandemic.
The Valle de Esperanza church uses technology
It is exciting to see how God continues to use the Valle de Esperanza (Valley of Hope) church to reach their community for Christ. In the past year they have been fully online and for a time they were also able to open up for in-person services. They have now had to go back to only online services.
They have been able to use technology to faithfully minister to those who are a part of the church. They have been using Zoom rooms to allow the children to have special services along side their parents!
Please keep all of the church plants in your prayers as they work to help the people in their congregations continue to grow in Christ Jesus!
