Our March trip included more than ministry to children's homes and churches, we visited two prisons. Our prison visit in Guasave was especially unforgettable. The Guasave prison is a maximum security federal prison. After going through many hoops and lots of security checks we were given 3 hours to share the gospel with the men. The men were brought into a confined area and allowed to sit or stand by their chair. behind them lining the wall were 10-12 guards in riot suits heavily armed,
some with an attack dogs. Sitting before us were dangerous criminals, many of them from the MS13 gang, mafia assassins, which was tattooed on their heads. A few of them had become Christians but there were more than 60 sitting in front of us. This was the first time this new 6 year old prison allowed a group to share at the prison. We seemed to be quite an attraction because the prison employees came to see. Lined up against the wall to our left were nurses, counselors and criminologists and social workers. Even the warden came to see. We did a drama and then shared the gospel that resulted in all of the prisoners in attendance standing to give their lives to Jesus. Wow what a transformation! The warden was so thrilled he invited us to eat lunch with him. Now we have an open door to return next time.

CHILDREN'S HOME MINISTRY NOVEMBER 2018
Our November trip to Mexico was one of our best yet. We were blessed with supplies, food and clothing from several bible study groups, individuals and churches. These items we used to help the children at orphanages in Hermosillo and Los Mochis. We had so much fun interacting with the kids there. We told the story of the Good Samaritan through a narrated skit. The kids at the children's home help in the skit by playing a role as the characters of the story. All the kids seemed to understand the meaning of the story.
We also spent some quality time encouraging the pastors and leaders in Guasave. The church leaders are doing a great ministry reaching neighboring communities and discipling the church members. The ladies had a great time doing a woman's conference in Alamito where they did candle making as a craft.
