Announcement
Dear friends,
We are Mexico bound!
We feel led by God to minister
to the lives of hurting children at Ministerios Pan de Vida (Bread of Life
Ministry).
Often referred to as an
orphanage, Pan de Vida is a welcoming home for around 80 children and youth who
were the victims of malnourishment, abandonment or abuse. Through the means of
donations and generous giving, Pan de Vida provides food, clothing, shelter,
education and leisure activities. It is located on a 7.5 acre campus on the outskirts
of Queretaro.
Our goal is to demonstrate
to the children that their Heavenly Father loves them unconditionally and that they
are made new in Jesus Christ. John 3:16,
2 Corinthians 5:17.
We are in the process
of getting ready to go. We are looking to leave this summer, but no definite
date set yet. Upon arrival, we plan to serve at Pan de Vida for at least 2
years.
Bryan is eager to apply
his experience in both teaching and his volunteer work with children and youth.
He will teach English at the on-site school. He also desires to teach other
subjects, mentor the boys and help with the on-site church services and youth
group.
Brenda will continue homeschooling
Ariadne (8), Alex (5) and Brianna (3). Also, she will part-time serve at Pan de
Vida in different areas, such as, cooking, homework help, church services and
youth group.
Ariadne, Alex and
Brianna are excited to hang out with the kids at Pan de Vida. Also, they can’t wait to visit with their relatives
in Mexico. Currently their Aunt Ginger, Uncle Enrique and grandma Lupita help
at the same children´s home.

we are asking for you to partner with us financially to make an eternal impact.
