We are thankful to God for this New Year which He allowed us to start again and for the joy it gives us that we can share with you all what God is doing. The 15th of January our children came back from their school vacation and started school again on the 23rd of January. |
|
From the 6th – 13th of January we held a Mini Mercy Ministry Training School. As guest speaker we had Steve Bartel from www.ColombiaStreetKids.org who inspired our lives by showing his love, commitment and dedication for his work to restore the lives of the children. It was a special and refreshing time where God spoke to our hearts. |

 |
The 28th of January we celebrated the 15th birthday of one of our girls Betty who lost her father. He was a pastor and was murdered in the terrible violence we experience in Colombia. Betty her mom who is now working with us was very happy we could celebrate that day, because the 15th birthday is the most special birthday in Colombia. |
|
We were also very happy to receive Borje and his 20 member team whom gave a special day to the children in a waterpark together with 500 other children of other entities. The team stayed with us for one week but Andrea stayed longer and helped us out in the boy’s house. She was a great help and always ready to provide for the needs in the ministry, thank you Andrea. |
|
 |
Then we received a 20 member team from Puerto Rico for one month, led by Alejandra and Wally. They worked in both houses of the boys and girls having devotions, theater, games and a lot of fun with the children. They also helped out with cleaning and many more things, so they were a great blessing to all of us. |
|
Saturday the 18th of March I went to Puerto Libertador to inaugurate the drinking water project. People wept of joy to finally have a drinking water line in their houses. This project was made possible with generous gifts. Especially from a Swedish family who lost their son in the Tsunami, whom on his funeral instead of receiving flowers asked to help needy children. Also a thank you to Timon, Robette, Gniseppe from Switzerland. On the way back from Puerto Libertador I brought back a 10 year old orphan girl Angelica, taking her out of a very problematic situation. |

|
|
Also we have 2 new boys in our house, the orphan Luís Alfredo Garci'a Valencia and Rubén Darío Mejia Villegas We thank God for what He does in this ministry, being faithful to our lives and to allow us to be instruments for the restoration of children, making their life worth living.
