Con Mis Manos is working to help the deaf in Matamoros and growing rapidly with over 40 students, many of whom the culture rejects. The summer break is underway now, but the school continued all through the pandemic by alternating days of classes , masking and maintaining distances. The three-phase class building and dorm are all complete thanks to many contributions and work teams. They also were able to purchase a new van for transportation as they need two working vans to pick up and take home students.

The HASTEN Medical clinic in Monclova takes to the road as our doctor, dentist and helpers went to several area churches where people received medical attention, medicines, vitamins, haircuts, dental work, eyeglasses, as well as clothing and other school supplies collected by the area congregations. Hasten and WFM combined to by a new van replacing the old early 1990s van.

With the Covid shutdown, the Mexico economy has tumbled. We have been able to appeal for extra help and are concentrating on sending money through the churches to see that families have food and household supplies. We have sent several thousands dollars to many areas hard hit. Pray for an quick end to this crisis.

The labor was provided by church members and while the mission has been able to help some, the folks are raising the money little by little. Also classroom expansion advancing at the 2nd de Abril church.

We now have 54 evangelists working in twelve states that we are assisting financially in some way each month as they minister to congregations and plant new ones. This requires many donations monthly. We often run short but rely on faith to pay salaries. WFM also is called upon to help in medical and other emergencies so contingency money is important. We are helping to start a new work in San Luis Potosi.
