[Background: I had sent the check with your offerings and a brief letter to pastor Fernando and this was his response. The children all now know (by name) who is sponsoring them. I encourage you to write letters and send pictures of yourself and your families. If you do want to send anything, please let me know and we'll send it together. And most importantly, please continue to pray for the children, their families and Centro Shalom; that God may continue to work through them to minister and share the Gospel.]
Dear LBC,
Thank you for your kind letter.
Today, after our normal Sunday Services, I took time to share with the children that will be sponsored by members of your church. The children received the news with shouts of gladness, emotion and gratitude.
The believers are black, Hispanic, Anglos, Asian, etc. we are all of us as different as the fingers on our hands. Never the less the Lord notices the gift of working united as one, to bless the people that live a life of desperation and extreme poverty and that need with great urgency some hope and opportunity.
We live in a time where many Christians wish to do great things for the Lord, never the less very few are ready to plant small seeds of Christian Love.
Please share this letter with my gratitude to all the sponsors that sent their seeds of Hope and Christian Love to the outcast barrios of Tijuana. Thanks to you all because the children that you will be sponsoring will get a chance to escape a life of misery and desperation.
Bendiciones,
Pastor Fernando Martinez
