A Message From Your Family in Ensenada:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Thank you very much for your collaboration on our Christmas programs in 2021. Thanks to your support, we could provide for approximately 500 children and 200 adults, four rehabilitation centers, including the prison for the psychiatric area and women, and vulnerable families with financial support and a Christmas dinner.
Amid so much sadness over the many deaths due to COVID-19 and the lack of employment for many people due to closed shops and personal health problems, we were able to take the opportunity to bless all these children and families — and draw a smile in their hearts of hope. It’s true that with the help of all of you, we can continue to make a difference.
In many cases, it was wonderful to see the smiles and tears of gratitude…for some, it was their first Christmas gift in many years, and for others, it was the confidence of knowing that God continues to be with them despite everything. Thank you very much for your collaboration and your help. We are eternally grateful for all your love for the Ensenada community.
We love you and bless your lives in our prayers.
Pastor Ruben Castaneda and Family
