Back2Back Ministries is currently in Nigeria, India, Cancun, and Monterrey, Mexico. We (Rodo and Becca) have been serving in Monterrey, Mexico for the past 3 years and now with the opening of a new site in MAZATLAN, MEXICO we are headed out west!
FUN FACTS ABOUT MAZATLAN:
Mazatlan is the second largest port on the Pacific coast (After Los Angeles)
* Population is approximately 500,000
* It is a commercial town that has developed into a tourist destination in the last sixty years
OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to be in Mazatlan by February 1, 2012!
THE CALL:
We were able to go on a scout trip to Mazatlan in September for 3 days. We visited 6 orphanages that Back2Back will be partnering with in the city.
One of the homes we visited is for children with special needs. This home has about 30 kids living in it and half of them have special needs. The only boy we were able to connect with there was a boy that was completely blind, almost completely deaf, and paralyzed from the waist down. This home has some severe needs. With resources and group members, Back2Back Ministries will be helping get this home to the potential it has!
Another home we were able to visit is a safe house for teenage girls that have been trafficked or abused. I (Becca) am particularly excited about working with these teenage girls. I am excited to bring Jesus, hope, and love into their lives!
You all have been our support team for either the last 3 1/2 years, last couple years, or the last couple months. We would NOT be able to live out our calling form the Lord if it weren’t for people like you in our lives. We are inviting YOU along for the journey as well. Together, linking arms, we will fight to rescue the orphan children of Mazatlan!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
*Ending our time here in Monterrey is going to be difficult. We will be leaving our community, the children we have served here for the past year 3 years, and Rodolfo’s family.
*Car situation- The roads, to the orphanges, in Mazatlan are rough. We will be needing a bigger vehicle. If you know of anyone that is selling or giving away vehicles, please contact us.
*People coming alongside us ready and willing to partner with us for the call to Mazatlan. This includes:
-Praying for us specifically and the ministry site of Mazatlan.
-Financial support.We are in need of $10,000 more.
* For God to continue taking care of every detail!
