Happy Birthday Project Mexico!

It was such a privilege for us to have Gloria Parke here in our home and visiting the work. Gloria has been supporting Fidel and the work of the street kids since long before we ever knew him. In her hometown of Bushmills, N. Ireland she started selling unused items along with a couple of friends and sending the money to support Fidel and his ministry.
Back in 2006 Gloria and a team of people from Coleraine opened a little shop in the town. The response was amazing as people delivered things they were no longer using and they were sold. The profits were sent to support the work of the Drop-In Centre.

Sadly the shop had to be closed as the building was demolished but God is faithful and another team was established a few months later in a new location. We found this photo and it is a year since the new shop was opened to the public. God knows what we need and while this is a faith ministry the profits have increased and are now supporting not only the street kids' ministry but also the training and equipping of national workers.
Happy Birthday Project Mexico! While Gloria was here she was always quick to point out that she was just the face of a faithful and dedicated team of workers. We want to thank each person who sacrifices time and energy working in the shop, those who donate furniture, clothes, ornaments etc. and those who (knowingly or not) have made purchases which have supported the ministry here.
