YEAH THAT'S A CHOCOLATE BAR...

Yum, Yum, Tasty

LET THEM EAT CHOCOLATE!!

I'll bet you're wondering "How can I help out in Mexico?" I have one of
many ways you can get involved, it's easy, it's cheap, you won't feel
guilty afterwards, you'll put a smile on a kid's face, and you'll help out
Rhema Bible Training Center. Our fundraising effort involves the selling
of Chocolate Bars (Photo Above) All the students are required to sell one
box of Chocolate Bars, I think we can do better, you see they are selling
thier Chocolate Bars locally to whomever. I had an idea that you could
buy a Chocolate Bar from us here in Mexico and in turn give it to one of
the many children in the Orphanage. I'll do all the leg work (I promise I
won't eat any of yours) Really you can buy one, you could buy ten, you
can buy a whole box full, price? $1.75 a bar, $50.00 a box, so if you plan
on giving more than $10.00 please donate over the website or mail a
check to:
Baylake Bank
Hwy 42
Fish Creek, WI 54212-0046
Payable to: RUBIO MINISTRIES MEXICO
For less than $10.00 please mail a check, the website donation button
won't except less the $10.00...not my rule. Then one last thing Email me
fgrubio@gmail.com and let me know how many Chocolate Bars you
bought, that way I can tell the children receiving those gift's your name.
Remember these kids over 300 in the two locations I work with, have no
luxuries you know like parents, somebody to do homework with them,
somebody to say "Hey great Job" after doing well in school, somebody
here on earth who loves them just for being. Well you get the idea.
Plus you buy yourself a "guilt free Chocolate Bar"
Above all, remember to pray for these young lives so full of potencial.
Thank You, Frank

Hurricanes Stan and Wilma gives us all a chance to Serve.

I left California with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina fresh on my
mind, little did I know how much more was on the way. The poorest
state in Mexico is Chiapas, that is where most of the destruction, loss
of families, homes, livelyhoods and the like took place. Words can't
discribe what was shown repeatedly on the news, you all have a good
perspective in the light of Katrina but it still just blows me away how
fragile and vulnerable we all are. For the last 4 weeks here at Rhema
we have partnered up with various churhes and given a helping hand
to those in the wake of the past two Storms. Cash, Clothes, Food, Care
Packages, Survival kits (Batteries etc.) and lots of Prayer have been
collected and centralized at one of the local Faith Christian Centers.
It has been a joy to serve, I made quite a few trips with David Diaz in
the Church Van. The Church Van, wow a few years ago I would have
never placed myself driving an oversized white van filled with the
needs of others. God does work miracles in peoples hearts.
Below you will see pictures of some of the people involved, I wish I
would have more pictures, but people kept telling me to quit messing
around ( somethings don't change) The neighborhood that the collection
center was located in was a bit dicey, oh well. Even in the poor
neighborhoods people were ready to give.

A LITTLE HELP GOES A LONG WAY

Enrique and his Wife Lupe really put out their hands and hearts into the aiding of the relief effort for the victims of Hurrican Stan.
Rebecca was here with her parents Paty and Thomas lending a helping hand.
Erika Vasquez giving a little of her time to the victims of Hurricane Stan.
Tim Ebangit working on the donations for the victims of Hurricane Stan.
This type of neighborhood is common here in Mexico City.
WOW! I'll bet the food here is great...I'll wait for you to visit and we'll try it together.
These little neighborhood stores have a little bit of everything.

RHEMA MEXICO CITY

Hello everyone, well I made to Mexico City and I couldn't
be more blessed. I spent my first week attending a Pastor's
Conference, we heard a lot of great messages from so many
different speakers. It was the perfect warm up to what was
just on the horizon. The following week we had orientation,
most of the morning was spent going through the school
handbook and then a message from Pastor Tim or Rhonda,
Praise and worship was very fun as well. But on the last day
we had a American Bar-B-Que, along with everyone dressed
country style, Mexican or American. You won't find a picture
of me posted...We were also given a ceramic piggy bank
to paint, this gave us a chance to intermingle and meet other
students. It was a fun day!
Sunday at services the Church had a pie and cake auction
I bid on everything and kept pushing the price up. The money
was for our new on campus coffee house. Cakes sold from
$60.00 to $260.00, it was great to see the Sunday
congregation helping out the Bible school. As a student you
are asked to continue at your home church and be a blessing
to them. So the School and regular congregation don't inner
mingle much, just on special events. I am in a good position
here, I get to be a part of both. My first week of normal
classes started Monday the 3rd, WOW I am just blown away
by all the revelation being imparted to us, I know that I know
that I am in the right spot... Pray that my classmates and I
(17 to 75 years of age) have our hearts open to what the
Holy Spirit wants to impart to us about God's written and
spoken Word. AMEN Frank
