I have been a living link missionary of Northside Christian Church for 31 years. Carlos and I have two children Cindy and Laura. Cindy and her husband Mario live in Louisville, KY and Laura lives in Piedras Negras. We have lived and ministered in Piedras Negras Mexico since 1992.
For many years I helped to start and directed 3 Christian schools in the city. They currently run between 500-700 students each.
I am now the field director for the CrossRoads Mexico team. Our team has grown this year and I am so blessed to work with amazing people. God always provides for His work to be accomplished. This year we have been blessed by 3, year long interns. They are so young and talented and have been a huge blessing to me.
Crossroads has been building affordable homes for christian families since 1991. This year we completed house #36.
Our team also works with the immigrant population coming through our border city by providing shelter, food, friendship and a church family! 1000s of people from all over the world have stayed at Carlos’ “ranch” over the last couple of years. I love meeting and serving these people. By the time they make it to us they are completely exhausted and often sick. There are families that are only with us for a few days but others stay for months and we are able to minister to them in a very special way. God connects us to people who need us the most and because of Northside we are able to meet many of their basic needs.
This year, CrossRoads started an English school and our interns help us teach. I have always loved teaching children and now really enjoy teaching adults.
Crossroads partners with Bethany Christian Church that ministers to local families as well as to the very transient community of immigrants. We also partner with Casa de Paz, a children’s home in our city. We would love for you to come and visit or intern with us. God Bless you Northside! Thank you for enabling me to serve in Piedras Negras.
