Pan de Vida Orphanage joins ministry in Ixcamilpa

After over 6 years of ministering at Pan de Vida orphanage in Queretaro, Paco and I still maintain good friendships and contact with our orphanage family there, even years later.  When they heard about the needs and ministry in Ixcamilpa through Paco, their hearts were immediately moved.  They prepared donations and sent a team of five out with Paco to the villages to minister alongside him.

The families were so grateful for

the food and clothes donations which they delivered directly to the homes of families in need.  

But the most exciting gifts were the audio Bibles!  With so many elderly and disabled in the village, Paco and I had searched (unsuccessfully) for audio Bibles as a way to spread the Word of God- and the Pan de Vida team brought 6 of them!  Paco already had recipients in mind: 21-year-old Nancy (blind since birth), elderly

Chava (going blind from diabetes), Mario (advanced schizophrenia), Neri (young man with learning disability), and more.  Both Chava and Neri have approached Paco on later trips to thank him again and comment that they constantly carry their audio Bible with them to listen as they work or are at home.

The Pan de Vida team brought Gospel tracts and literature for children- which they were allowed to distribute and explain at the village school!  The

principal gathered the school children in one classroom where Kike (Pan de Vida pastor) shared the Gospel and directed them to read more about Jesus in their booklets!  What an amazing opportunity at a public school!

Along with the donations, the team joined Paco in teaching children’s Bible classes in the village auditorium, continuing with “The Greatest Journey”

discipleship.  Both the team and kids alike had a blast with all the games and stories.

Not only the people of Ixcamilpa, but Paco was also blessed by this team that sacrificed so much to support him in ministry all the way from Queretaro.
