it has been a long time

NOTE FROM JEANIE SUE .......Today has been an active day in the CASA DEL PASTOR.... we started with devotions in the dining area with 8 moms. Nati, the supervisior of CDP was sharing great points wisdom of II Cronicals 11 and it was deep and a powerful message for the moms. She is a wise woman and she is full of love and patience reguarding each mom. THEN as we cleared the kitchen the breakfast bell rang and the children loudly got in line after washing their hands and face for the morning . Children from all age groups are perparing for school and 25 of the children for school have already been taken to school and the third trip to take school kids will be at 8:30am . The childcare worker has supervised the dining hall of rambunctious children and now has called the school age children to the homework table and the other child care worker had called the toddlers to form a line to go to the club where they will spend their day with activiities and play groups and the reading circle . IT seems chaotic but it is all in order and can get really active and alot of movement but it is home to me ..

I have been in the east of the states visiting a few brothers and sisters in the LORD. Lisa and I went to visit a church that has been very involved in putting in the foundations of the homes of the moms who buy property here in San Vicente . The time back east was a time of refreshment to fellowship with the team members that have come to San Vicente. We had an opportunity to speak to the body of Calvary Chapel Esmerelda Coast . They have been the main foundation layers since we started to see moms buy their lots locally. SINCE Lisas mom was local she stayed there and visited with her mom for a few days and I had the opportunity to go to Illinois and visit my family members . I have not gone back to Illinois since my father passed away . I felt it was time to see my family again and I was totally glad that I did and it was a family reunion. Each time I spoke about the LORD they really listened and I was totally impacted on how interested they were about things of the LORD .. My cousin even agreed to go to a Creation Museum in Ky. with me. However ,noone made decisions but it will come in the LORDs timing..

I am so amazed that the time has gone so fast and the last entry has been so long ago . So much has happened since then ., Right now we have 13 moms that live in CDP and *4 of them have purchased property, and 9 moms who have their own homes ...with all these we have about 90 cdp kids and totall of 105 children **(including the childcare children) *this includes our children that live with Lisa and I .

We have a full youth group and I have meetings each week with our 15 teens .. plus the once a week girls group that I have meeting in my home . Capilla Calvario de San Vicente keeps us real busy and we have acivities and or prayer meetings almost every evening. Plus the groups are beginning to come and they have many plans for us at CDP.

So as you can see I do have a full plate but It is a awesome life and I love being here in Mexico serving the LORD. It is a peasure to be sharing the LORD with the folks of Mexico and I want to thank each one of you who make it possible. thanks to the LORD and you too.

as ever SERVING THE LORD WITH JOY

MY KIDS

UPDATE >>>>How I got 10 children to care for ..in 2009

One mom Marilu was with us for 6 years and she turned out to be abusive to her own children physically and emotionally. How ever, she also became very obsessed with her boyfriend and chose to go with him and he did not want to care for 5 extra children Juan age 16,Reyna age 15 Fransico age 14 Isabel age 13 and Ceclia age 9. She comes at least once a month to see them. The youngest was born here and knows no other home

Then the other mom is Adia. She and I have remained in contact after she was asked to leave several years ago and her children were with her all of 2007 to 2008 school year. They are two teens Itzel age 15 and Angel age 14 and a young boy Jesus who is 10. All of the children did not like living in the big city because of all it had to offer. They really were being called to make some hard difficult choices and really wanted to return to my home this last school year. They had some difficult times with their mom and had been thrown out of the house a few times. I was really between a rock and a hard place wondering if I should go to Ensenada to rescue them or what. I did end up going and doing crises intervention with the mom and teens and they finished the school year with their mom. .

After that I offered the mom the placement in my home as an alternative to another turbulous and abusive school year and she jumped at the chance to have her children with me. She is an immature woman and can not get over her feelings enough to discipline the children giving them tough love but boundaries to live within the home.

Then there are two other teens with me . These two are really smart kids but the moms are weak and want to please the children. They do not give boundaries to Omar age 15 ,and Anayeli age 14 for fear of being not liked for a while. |Both of these teens have had some difficult things in the home and both moms have a hard time saying no. So both asked me to help and I do not have a problem with the word no.

Another mom, Rosa, left her two boys age 15 Eloy and Alberto age 17 to go to another man. in 2003. They lived with me for 4 years they are no longer with me. But they live in a boys home near the Casa Del Pastor and are involved in Calvary Chapel San Vicente Horizonte, .They are doing well under the supervision of Mike and he is the director of Casa Josue.

SO………

I really am loving being a mom and HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THESE CHILDREN !!!

So keep me in prayer and lift us up to the LORD as we will need it as this is the crazy teen house.

NEW FAMLIIES

THESE ARE TWO NEW FAMILIES ON THE RIGHT IS CATALINA . SHE ARRIVED TO US IN A SAD STATE. SHE WAS BEAT UP AND HAD BRUISES ALL OVER HER BODY AND FACE . SHE IS A SWEET WOMAN AND SEEKS TO HEAL HER WOUNDS AND MOVE FORWARD IN HER LIFE. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER BECAUSE I HEAR THAT HER MAN IS LOOKING FOR HER BUT HAS NOT SHOWN HIS FACE AT THE CASA.

ON THE LEFT IS MARIA OF CARLOS . SHE HAS BEEN HERE A WHILE AND SOME OF YOU KNOW HER CHILDREN, CARLOS AND HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I WAS CARING FOR THEM FOR FIVE MONTHES WHILE SHE WENT TO HER STATE TO SEE IF SHE WAS REGISTERED. SHE FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS NOT. PRAY FOR HER AND HER PAPAER WORK TO BE DONE AS QUICKLY AND AS EASLIE AS POSSIBLE.

We are in Phase II and have some growing pains. The whole atmosphere is different and very challenging. It is difficult for me to be gracious and kind when I see any behavior that might damage the grounds and the mom siting near buy and doing nothing. Sometimes moms are so passive and unaware of the comings and goings of their children. It is really an opportunity to educate and teach the moms how to deal lovingly and kindly towards their children. Please pray for the many changes in the near future. We are planning a meeting with moms and go over the expectations and the areas where we need to work on. Please pray for them to seek the Lord and do HIS will It is HIS house and we want to take care of it.

We have a few new moms and one in particular who has been severely physically abused, Catalina. She still lives in terror and is very upset and she has seen him twice and feels he is trying to get her back . He is not the father of her two children and she wants to begin a new life. It seems he is very persistent and sly because no one else has caught him trying to seek her out yet . He is not coming to the door nor coming near CdP when someone else is present. I ask for your prayers for protection all this just happened this afternoon so I am trusting it will all come to light soon.

As written by a supporter of CASA DEL PASTOR.

The grand opening of Casa Del Pastor, June 21 was a beautiful day that many of us had waited for. It has been a labor of love along the side of Dave, Lisa and Jeanie. The property’s construction finally come to an end of its chapter.

Everyone has done a great job in their obedience to the Lord supporting the ladies of the facility. In the heart of our church has been the desired to support this ministry and now be witness of this special day. It was perfect, God gave us a nice sunny day, Pastors came to share, musicians played worship to praise our Lord, and great feast to enjoy!. A large crowd people witness what God is doing in this place. What a perfect day to see God’s love and the presence of His work in CSPS.

After was all said and done, dark and late, few of us stayed to accompany Raul a husband of one of the ladies, he has been there for several years. They now have their own home. Raul share that they had separated for few months and she ended at CdP. After time they got back together and he thanks God that his children and wife ended up here. Because of these events they have learned about a personal relationship with Jesus. He is very grateful. He is the handy men in the facility. I asked him, how would you like us to pray for this place? Raul Replied; "I see in their eyes hate towards men when they arrive. Pray for God to heal and open their hearts and be willing to have a teachable heart and absorb everything they learn of the Lord."

Brethren, God is working at Casa Del Pastor…!!! Pray for everyone that volunteers and also for the women will want to be God’s vessels and allow Jesus to mold them in their character.

Thank you Dave, Lisa, Juanita for your obedience to Jesus!

NEW VIEW

THINGS CHANGES AND TIME PASSES..... WE HAD THE GRAND OPENING!

I can not believe that it has been since MArch 2008 that I have added news to my blog. We are moving into the new phase this month *(July) and the rooms are beautiful,. My first concern is with the hearts of the moms. We have a variety of personalities that are very hardened buy their past experiences and heartaches. Most of all I ask for prayers for the moms who are struggling with thier own ideas of how we (Lisa and I ) handle situtations. The LORD is the Head of the house and I praise the LORD for HIS direction and wisdom, PLEASE LIFT US UP TO ASSIST THESE WOMEN TO KNOW HIM BETTER .
