I will be taking the Apprenticeship to Jesus group back down to Nogales this weekend. In September, our group built the stone walls (figure E.) to protect the trees, which are the only shade for the kids from the sun, from being washed away by the rainwater runoff. This trip, we are hoping to complete the finishing touches on the property so that it will be ready to start serving meals to the children of this community!
Kids Café—A.) The German style structure was built this summer, this is where the kids’ meals will be prepared.
B.) Old community outhouse that needs to be torn down and filled.
C.) Vacant lot that we are hoping to purchase to add to the Kids Café.
D.) Tire wall we are rebuilding to protect the land from rain damage
E.) Rock barriers to protect trees from rain runoff.
F.) New bathroom being built for the Kids Café.
G.) Miguel’s house, Miguel and his wife will be coordinating the everyday operations of the Kids Café
Please pray for our upcoming weekend in Nogales that the Spirit of God would shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions to reflect His Son Jesus as we pray, worship, serve, eat and laugh together!
P.S. if you would like to come down and participate in or just see the work in Nogales sometime, let me know, it is only a 3 hour drive to the border!
Thanks for your love and support,
Ryan, Noleen, Ethan and Keilah Thurman
