April 2012mily and friends!is is a letter youll want to soak in. If you normally browse, Id urge you to read the testimonies and becouraged and challenged.His Eye Is On the Sparrowis has got to be the most Jessica and I have ever been tested in our faith, ever. Never before have we fs caliber of looking to God for provision, winning the mind battles to stay positive when there are

swers in sight and finding gratitude through times of adversity. I hope to look back on this and lauge continue to develop, grow, and learn on how to rest and trust. It doesnt matter what youre going througs voice is all it takes to get you through it. His words are priceless in that they bring a calm and peace to would feel like a train wreck. We feel like were walking in greater levels of authority than we ever havd as favor continues to pour out our ordeals seem to increase and challenge us. A couple things to

member: the Holy Spirit led Jesus into His ordeal with the tempter, and it wasnt for the purpose ofnishment but rather an opportunity for growth and a display of strength. If God is for us, who can be agai?

Favor With GovernmentRecently, we have been developing relationships with

government officials in Mexico. We weren't sure at first hthis connection would benefit the cause, but now its all comtogether. One of these officials is the head of prosecutiall the traffickers and criminals in their district. When thepolice bust a brothel they have intel and can makearrangements in advance as to what to do with the victims.they were thrilled when they heard about what were doing specializing in, since it is very uncommon in Mexico andespecially in our region. They said that our facility is a perfestrategic location for the rescued to be restored, for geograand security reasons. We have a meeting next week to

present our project to their team and co workers. In adto all this, they have already began strategizing about

veloping conferences in the near future with all the high officials and people of power to not only raisewareness about child sex trafficking but to get them behind our project. Our team already planned on doinnference anyways but now we will collaborate to make this event unforgettable. At this conference we intshow an overview video of the facility and project as well as talk about our infrastructure and areas we nelp with. We hope to further expand our connections and momentum in the political scene. So far our teams been working to develop relationships with a senator, a congresswoman, a district attorney, the head o

hild services) and several different lawyers. Almost all of these people are rolling up their sleeves and getwork to help this become a success.

First Team MeetingI know...meetings are boring! But this one wasnt!!! Last week wea planning meeting here on the facility. Our goal was to geteveryone on the same page and answer many of the questions thhad left a lingering foothold of anxiety. Who is our team? Who is gto help us? Who is really committed? Who is going to pay for all thWhat is the next step? What do we still need? We were very pleas

with the turnout and those who took on roles of responsibility for edepartmental category, not to mention those who want to be a parcouldnt make it to the meeting. We now stand more confidentlyhaving a organizational chart and knowing that our Mexicanfamily is taking hold of the vision, bearing their load andresourcing their connections. This is perfectly on track with theinitial dream of establishing a model that will be grafted and ownethe nationals for the purpose of allowing us to travel and open othhouses in various parts of the world.Interesting NEWSWe have intel on a sting operation for a brothel in Mexico(location confidential) to rescue somewhere around 30 childand arrest and prosecute the traffickers. Needless to say those kiwill either be thrown into an orphanage, most likely with staff whounderpaid and dont necessarily want to be there or they can beplaced in our facility with psychological treatment and spiritual he

d guidance. One of the biggest things we would need for this, is full time staff on the facility. At thme we surmise we can only fit up to 20 kids total in this facility and even this number is based on whenot we can afford that many staff. But at least we know where we will get our kids in the future , thanr connection with certain government officials.

Farmer JohnWe were recently given 12 baby chicks. Six male and six female. We dont evenremember telling anyone that this was part of the vision, they just showed up withem and a bag of food. It has been fun. So now we have rabbits, chickens, athink next will be goats...Anyone know of someone trying to get rid of someNigerian Dwarf goats??? Now we just need to build shelters for all these guys.Chicken coup is next, then some keyhole gardens. I love sustainability!!! We a

just harvested a ton of coconuts from our property to stay hydrated for the summnot to mention mangoes, plums, key limes (with two newly planted trees thanks technique called air layering) and dates soon to come. YUM!
