Yesterday Andrew started a 4 week English course down in Chalco. It's a long way away and sometimes can take 3 hours to get home because of the traffic. The purpose of the course is to generate interest for the club and to encourage kids back who may have drifted off a little.
He will also be an encouragement to the pastor and his wife who run this ministry with very little help in terms of personnel. There were about 50 kids there. This ministry is what is keeping the little church in Chalco open. There are only about 20 adults who attend under the plastic covering in this very poor area. Please continue to pray that kids and their families will be reached through the breakfast club and for more helpers. There is great potential in this area for hundreds of kids to be attending but the club can't be advertised while there is only a handful of adults to run it.
I would also appreciate your prayers as I start to tackle the huge job of putting together a manual for Mex-i-Kids. We will have another meeting of leaders in a few weeks where I would like to get feedback from them on the tasks they went away with and also on the manual that I will be writing.
Thank you so much for your prayers. We are in this ministry together and we appreciate the huge part you are playing.
