We are never alone.
When we started this journey, almost 6 years ago, we knew we could not do it alone...and we knew we would not be alone.
Over the course of the last 6 years, we have seen the answer to so many prayers.
The gift of the most committed and capable Board of Directors.
The gift of each of you who support us and this ministry each month.
The Aguas Sagradas Ranch fully paid off – $265,000.00 in just 5 Years!
Over $100,000.00 raised to pay for Casita No.1 and in preparation for the next.
One week from now Celeste and Michael move onto the ranch to oversee ongoing construction and preparing the accommodations and programs for the first girls.
As we told you in our last email, we are in the midst of a fundraising campaign to cover the increased construction costs for Casita no. 2 and to Increase our monthly support.
This serves several critical purposes:
To cover the increased cost of construction for Casita #2, now under way.
To increase our monthly and annual revenues to cover the anticipated costs to support the first girls who will move to Reina's Hope and into Casita No. 2.
To help cover costs for the increased staffing needs. As we said: "We cannot do this alone”
We know so many of you already give and for that we are SO very grateful. But there is so much more to accomplish.
These are our urgent areas of need:
PRAY. As Michael and Celeste relocate permanently onto the ranch this next week. Please keep us in your prayers for:
Sustained health and endurance.
Smooth adjustment to living in Mexico and adapting the culture.
Staffing - That we can identify and attract capable and reliable individuals to work with us and the girls who will be coming.
PROMOTE. We are looking for introductions to church missions boards, pastors and business leaders. Help us connect with anyone that God brings to mind who might identify with this mission and consider financially supporting it.
PARTICIPATE. As we said: "We cannot do this alone!" We are in need of development/fundraising director to assist us to get the word out about Reina's Hope and to increase our support base. If you are interested or know of someone who might be interested please contact us by responding to this email.
PROJECTS. Invest in Reina's hope with your "sweat equity." Come down as part of a work team to help with construction and other projects. Every skill level is welcome. (Have I mentioned that we can't do this alone?) Reply to this email us or sign-up on our website.
SUPPORT. (Yes, still searching for another "P" word.) Please consider a one-time gift to help us cover the completion costs for Casita No. 2, and if you are not already a monthly supporter, please consider becoming one of our MONTHLY SUPPORTERS by clicking the link below and visiting our website.
Thank you for standing with us, praying over us, giving to this mission, and being willing to come down and participate with us.
