With the physical help of Mission Partner Brian Schaefer and his crew, we have completed the new septic/drainage system at Casa Hogar. The work started off hard and got worse. Wednesday, everything that could go wrong went wrong. After a lot of praying Wednesday night, Thursday was a new day. When we arrived at the home the Pastor told us the current septic system was now plugged up and Santiago was scooping out sewage to locate the problem. We decided to dig a separate hole in an attempt to locate the obstruction and by doing that, we located an additional septic line we did not know existed. We were able to tie into the second line and bypass the main four inch line. We are happy to report the new system is now complete and working properly. We added 64 feet of field line and 3 cubic yards of ¾ inch stone to help resolved the gray water problems. We would like to thank several of our Mission Partners in the US and Canada for supplying the funding for this project. Your continued support of our work is truly amazing and we could not do it without you. You are the absolute best.

“Remember, you may choose your sin, but you cannot choose the consequences.” Jenny Sanford
With the help of Mission Partner Brian Schaefer and his crew, we started renovating the kitchen and laundry area plumbing at Casa Hogar today. The word renovation is actually a misnomer because the home does not currently have a plumbing system in the kitchen and laundry area (unless you call plastic buckets a plumbing system). The improvements will greatly enhance the quality of life for our children. The hole we are currently digging is 6 feet wide, 5 feet deep and 12 feet long. Six hours of hard labor by 3.5 men got us down 18 inches. In our excavation activity, we have uncovered everything under the sun with the possible exception of Jimmy Hoffa. Tomorrow is a new day. We will post pictures on the website upon completion.

Hola and Happy New Year from Cancun Christian Fellowship
Hola and Happy New Year to all of our wonderful Mission Partners!
2011 was a fantastic year for our Christian Mission Outreach in Mexico and we owe it all to you and your generosity and continued support of our work at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, our Cancun Christian home.
1st: Our English church continues to grow and prosper. We have been blessed with new members joining our Sunday service and vacationing guests that appreciate a place to worship and fellowship with new Christian friends.
2nd: Our Mission Outreach at Casa Hogar is gaining momentum and our children are growing in love and life changing power of Jesus Christ.
With your help in 2011, we were able to make significant improvements in the kitchen and pantry area as well as minor improvements to the girl’s downstairs bathroom.
With the help of a group from Missouri and Indiana, we were able to repaint and improve space that will be used to help generate future income for the home.
Groups from Canada, Mexico and the US have supplied us with needed clothing, games and toys for the children.
A couple from Texas supplied the home with new blankets for all of the children, Esther and the Pastor when winter chills began to sweep across the Yucatan Peninsula.
3rd: And last but not least, financial donations from Mission Partners around the world supplied the home with nutritious food, diapers, renovations, activities and their best Christmas ever.
2012 is off to a great start. Around the 18th of January, we will begin renovating the kitchen and laundry area plumbing. This is something that is desperately needed and will improve the quality of life in the home.
Next on the list is complete renovation of the upstairs bathroom and both downstairs bathrooms. This is also something that will greatly improve our children’s quality of life.
We are always amazed by your support, generosity and prayers and we sincerely thank you. We gratefully acknowledge that the work could not be accomplished without you. We are always available for your emails, phone calls and visits and really appreciate your feedback.
If you live in Cancun or are visiting ”The Riviera Maya”, we invite you to visit our Sunday English church service, enjoy a great lesson and meet the wonderful people that perform the weekly tasks required to support the continued needs of the home.
Happy New Year and may our amazing Lord bless each and every one of you.

There is such a big difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. It takes two to reconcile, so it is not always possible to be reconciled. But it takes only one to forgive. So if people do you wrong, forgive them, whether or not they ask for forgiveness. You cannot cancel their sin. Only God can do that, and He will only do it if they repent. But what you can do is set aside your own anger, bitterness, and resentment towards them. Philip Graham Ryken
