THREE OCC BOXES PACKED FOR EACH BABY

Three OCC shoe boxes packed, one for each of our babies. The first shoe box was the hardest to pack and brought this momma to tears. The first shoe box is in memory of our first baby that we never got to hold in our arms but that we love with all our hearts.. I am thankful that we can give Christmas away and show a child how special they are to Jesus and that they are loved. #operationchristmaschild #steeleandniko#livesimply4peru #babymendoza #foreverinmyheart #christmas

PRECIOUS JOSE RESTING IN THE ARMS of JESUS

Precious José Resting in the Arms of Jesus...
Brain cancer took away your ability to walk, then talk , then took control of your 11 year old body…We were encouraged after completing your first round chemotherapy treatments. You were allowed to go home with your little brother, sister and MOM! 
God allowed us all a time of love, family and prayer. Unexpectedly, you had a major seizure. Your Mom held you all the way to the emergency room..
The hands of CHRIST reached down in your Mother’s arms and embraced you, taking our beloved José Manuel to Heaven.
Your little classmates carried your casket into the church singing praises to our LORD. We are heartbroken. 
We embrace the promise of Heaven. 
We love you.

Rainbow Mountain is a colorful mountainside in the Andes of Peru. In short, the colors you see were formed by sedimentary mineral layers in the mountain that have been exposed by erosion. The Rainbow Mountain trailhead is located a 3-hour drive from Cusco, where day trips have recently grown quite popular. It’s 17,000 feet high and a very challenging climb for even experienced trekkers!

INCLUSION AWARENESS MONTH

October is INCLUSION AWARENESS MONTH for the Special Needs, physically disabled and mentally challenged. We had a celebration at our Special Needs Orphanage/Special Needs School/ Deaf Center School with your support.
Watch the little girl enter into the video (on FB) with the pink striped shirt as she joins the fun. She is welcomed into the group as family. What makes her unique is she is a deaf mute along with a few other challenges. I intentionally muted sound so you could experience life in her world. She begins dancing and playing and is accepted, just as GOD MADE HER PERFECT IN HIS IMAGE!
