A team that came to visit us from Nebraska is now officially famous.  They now appear in an article from the Fremont Tribune<\/b>, an almost century-and-a-half old newspaper run by the fourth largest newspaper group in the United States.<\/p>\n

How’s that for an introduction?<\/p>\n

The team visited both Ixtapaluca and Puebla, and the article has a lot of information about their time here.<\/p>\n

Here in Ixtapaluca, they were involved in a number of things, such as music, giving out wheelchairs, and construction.<\/p>\n

Read the article for yourself, and see some pictures of our ministry here.  Here’s an excerpt to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n

The group flew to Mexico City.  They went to the neighborhood of Jesus Maria in Ixtapaluca, Mexico, where Barham helps run a community center and teaches English.<\/p>\n

Team members helped assemble and distribute wheelchairs to people of various ages with different disabilities.  The volunteers assembled three different sizes of chairs, adjusting them to fit the recipients.  One older woman was so appreciative and deeply touched team members’ hearts.<\/p>\n

“She gave us all a big hug and in Spanish she said, ‘God is your refuge. Don’t ever give up,'” Ruwe recalled.<\/p>\n

Members also worked in a church now under construction, chiseling out 3- by 3-foot holes, each 3 feet deep, in a cement floor for footings that would support a second floor of a building.  Members also spent time clearing weeds and picking up trash at the community center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
