My last full week at Rhema was a blast! It was Conocer a Rhema. A fun
week for all, this was basically an open house for the school free classes
for everyone. All the Teachers of the school got share their passion. The
guest speaker was Pastor Guy Duininck from Tulsa, he travels the world
speaking at many conferences and Bible Schools if you get the chance
check out his website masterstouchministries.com He takes calculus and
makes it as easy as 1 +1 =2...REALLY He takes those biblical truths and
applies them to daily life, our purpose in life and our responsibilities. I
was happy to hear him teach in English while Enrique translated, I got a
biblical Spanish lesson as well. His daughter Catherine was along for the
ride, it's amazing how kids adapt to different environments, languages
and cultures without missing a beat. I was really happy being a part of
the team hear at Rhema and putting my best foot forward as a
representative of "Door Of Life" WI. Included are a mix of pictures
featuring staff and students that have helped make my visit blessed.
Hey a new Pope, let us pray that he is filled with the Holy Spirit and
continues the wonderful work Pope John Paul started and felt was so
important, AMEN. Frankie
Well 4 years have pasted and I am headed back home. Thank you to those who have sent support through prayer, comments, emails or cash. I assisted small churches in the Mexico City area. We worked on many toy and food drives for Christmas and year round, as well as opening a lunch and homework center for kids Thank you to all. Frank

Programa Ninos de la Calle, Mexico City
Last year was quite a bit different than this year. We went to
Ninos de la Calle, kids home shelter as a large group and spent
the whole day there. It didn't look like that was on the horizon,
so when I saw Francisco Pena Orozco at church on Sunday I
decided to make a quick visit this week. Francisco is the Founder
of this organization. His Father was taken off the streets by
some Catholic Nuns many years ago when he was a child. The
Nuns made an outstanding impact on his life. He grew up in an
orphanage in the early 50's, got married and educated his children
in a Catholic school. Francisco is one of them, he is also an
attorney. Seeds were planted in that family many years ago.
To make a long story short this morning I hooked up with David
Diaz, we went downtown to a large school supply house and went
crazy buying; notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, holders,calculators,
crayons of all sizes, markers, geomerty kits, barrettes, colored
bracelets, well you get the idea...bags of school supplies.
Thank You to those of you who have donated. It felt great to
be picking those items with no worry of money. I think I'm
loosing my grammar, my spelling is terrible.
Now the Kids! they were around on a lunch break so I got to see
them just for a short while. Check out the pictures, click on them
to see them larger. Their was some really cool art projects in
Francisco's office. The detail on Gianni's work, a 10 year old at
the orphanage is really incredible. All the work is Playdough!!!
I'm going to keep my eye on Gianni, he'll make a good jeweler
in about 7 years. If you have something in your heart to give
these kids, please don't hesitate, donate and write in the
message area that you want it to go to "Ninos de la Calle"
as cash or supply's. This is the first time on my site I actually
ask for money. Believe me they not only need it, it's planting
in the future...Good soil. Gianni is only one example of the
Talent just below the surface that is at a point of breaking
through...or without supplies, undeveloped talent. Pancho
