LTP Service Project

This week Ruby and I took the kiddos out to La Tierra Prometad (LTP, aka- The Promised Land) to help the staff get the building ready for the Mantial de Amor (MDA) children's home to move in! There is still a lot of work to be done, and our students were more than excited to help out! I am choosing to believe that it is because they have servant's hearts... and not because they got to skip an afternoon of math and science! :)

Working hard!

What was painted more- the kids or the walls? :)

Caught red handed! ... or should I say tan handed...?

Such a tough looking work crew! Great job SMCA!

I was so proud of how hard they worked! I didn't hear one complaint all afternoon! Way to go kids! :)

Apart from the service project, I was especially excited to be able to spend some time at LTP because this place holds some special memories for me. My first time in Monterrey was with my family, back in 2007. On this trip my dad took us out to this property to show us the land that the James Fund wanted to purchase for B2B. It was a beautiful piece of land, with a house, green grass, and orange trees. At the time is was going to be the new home for a children's home called Rayitos de Luz. Now almost four years later, B2B owns the land and it has been a blessing to many children! Our staff is currently working on a new building to make the home big enough for MDA to move into it this summer. MDA is currently spread out into 3 different locations across the city, and it is hard for the directors to be able to spend significant time building relationships in each location. When they move into LTP, all the homes will be able to live together out of the city, in a safe neighborhood, with room to run and play! I am so excited for the kids to see their new home!!

Please pray for the MDA kids and their directors are they prepare to make the move to LTP!
