City of Angels

Snakes, Scorpions and Tarantulas

Working in the sweltering jungle heat of Cozumel, Mexico the campus of Ciudad de Angeles is taking shape. Snakes, scorpions and tarantulas did not hold us back!! :-)

Finishing touches on the first house are nearing and the first wave of children should be entering next month.

Children like Jose.

Jose’s father passed away and his mother is mentally handicapped. Unable to tend to her young child he entered state custody.

Because his mother is alive Jose became one of the “un-adoptable.” Destined to live the remainder of his childhood and adolescence in state care. At 18 he would leave un-educated and with little hope for the future.

The state ward called Dennis Wilson – executive director – and said, “Can you please take Jose? He would be ideal for the City of Angels. He has so much potential that will go unrealized.”

Jose is THRIVING at the City. His smile is contagious. His brothers and sisters have welcomed him with open arms and love. God’s love is shining through him!!!

Each child – Floricita, Gutiavo, Martin – they all have similar stories. All were without hope. Now they are growing up in the Lord.

Photos of the trip are here…
