Lisa was truly surprised in August when she walked into Bible Study to find it was a surprise birthday party. The ladies decorated the day before while she was gone. They had been conniving behind her back. She feels so blessed by this group of ladies and their children who love the Lord.
Come rain or shine……in both rain and shine, one of the things we do in this ministry is visit the sick. In this case, several of us visited one of the ladies that used to attend the weekly Bible Study. She had a stroke and is no longer able to come. She has become a…
The ladies and children came together to honor and bless both Arthur and Agusto, who works in the ministry. We savored the delicious Pepián the ladies prepared in the morning. Each one shared meaningful words of appreciation and blessing. The children prepared colorful cards for both of them and delivered them with a hug. We…
