Services: The Current Needs
Now that the majority of indigenous families are no longer migratory, the
needs of the family have changed. The greatest needs are for good
nutrition, protection, security, and educational enrichment of the children
and we feel we can make a significant and profound impact in this area.
Even though the economic structure of the indigenous family may be
changing, their cultural/traditional beliefs have not changed as quickly.
However, the positive influences of Christian missionaries in the area
have made great differences and many of the indigenous are now making
commitments to the Lord and are slowly beginning to change negative
factors in their lives. Here is where the work of a missionary really begins.
Education is the key to success in life and knowledge is power. With that
education and power, especially with the power of the Lord Jesus, the
indigenous can make changes in their own culture to bring about a more
prosperous standard of living for their families; certainly a more sanitary
one. It is at this point that La Huerta Guardarías can make a difference in
this valley. By establishing daycare centers in the communities where the
families live, we can be a light in the darkness for the children. We can
help meet nutritional needs and provide the protection, security, and
education, both Spiritual and basic, that can help the children to become
successful citizens in their own country. Our experiences in the past have
shown that the children learn quickly and love to take home all they learn
on a daily basis to share with siblings and parents. We have seen rippling
effects that have begun to change lives for the better.
This is where we need your help. Each of our Christian daycare centers is
a ministry in and of itself. Our help to the Native Indians of Mexico is free of
charge and as you know, there are always costs involved. Staff needs
recompense and, of course, there are expenses for rents, utilities, and
food. It is our desire to daily give each child a hot breakfast and lunch. We
are looking for a commitment from people like you to help come alongside
us to accomplish what we feel led to do in Mexico. If you will join our
family, and we pray you do, please send your tax-deductible donations to:
International Disciple Training, Inc.

Please make a notation on the check memo line or enclose a note
indicating your donation is for the use of La Huerta Guarderías. We covet
your prayers as well. We thank God for you and your participation in our
work. We will keep you informed of our progress. May the Living Lord
richly bless you now and forever. `
