A Big Pile o’ Despensas!
A big pile of despensas, ready to go!
Last night the youth of Sendero de Vida (our church) got together and created some "despensas". That is, packages of provisions. These are going to go out to the people in Chalco over the next couple of weeks.
We wanted to try to stretch the money farther, so after getting a few pre-packaged despensas, we went out and got some things in bulk – beans, rice, tuna, toothpaste, New Testaments, milk, and so on.
With a huge assembly line, the youth put together the packages, and I think we must have ended up with about 140 despensas.
As we give these out, we’ll be inviting people to a special event on the 14th of March – a service of thanksgiving right in Chalco.

Wow! Sounds and looks great! I was just wondering today whether you’re still involved there in Chalco.
Chile is the new disaster area in the news in Canada and the U.S. now. No wonder people are fearful. News of tragedy, etc. seems to be multiplying as time goes on. But for those who have Jesus, it’s a sign of great things to come in his time. Meanwhile, “people need the Lord” as the song says!
