Just finishing up the final pretzels for the 2014 year! It has been amazing to see the orders coming in, the checks adding up, the donations from friends near and far! Thanking God for His mercy toward the poor and needy and how He manages to use a bunch of ragamuffins to make this happen.
As we wrap up the year, we stand in awe at what has been accomplished. Over 350 meals were provided each week for school aged children in a little colony in Tijuana, Mexico. Not only were their bellies filled, their souls were pierced with the love of Jesus! So many of these kids come from families who work hard but can't always find work. El Shaddai is bridging the gap in between those times of want and plenty. The parents come and see how the body of Christ works and are touched by His great love for all.
Thank you for being a part of this little ministry. Along with the feeding program, we began an education program a couple of years ago. We are currently helping to assist 13 children with education expenses. One of these young people will be graduating this coming summer. I can't wait to share this news with you all when he gets his high school diploma!!! He will be the first in his family to have ever gotten through high school much less junior high! For a poor Mexican, education is the only way to climb out of the pits of poverty.
On behalf of Pablo's Pantry and all the folks who are behind the scenes, making all of this happen, we thank you for your generosity! May God continue to bless you as you bless others.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
