Little Jesus

"Mi amigo!" shouts little four year old Jesus as his face lights up! He runs excitedly to one friend after another. This scene was repeated several times as little Jesus greeted several old friends at Calvary Chapel, San Bernardino. Little Jesus lives at Casa del Pastor and was visiting the states on a medical visa for a doctor�s appointment. While he and his mom were here they were blessed with a trip to Disneyland and to see a play at the Christian Arts Theater in Corona.Jesus was born with two fingers fused together and comes with his mom Pilar to the Shriner�s hospital. He is scheduled for surgery in September 2005. Although the Lord allowed his fingers to be fused together it was apparent that the Lord has also fused his heart together to his many friends from Calvary Chapel Red Barn in San Bernardino as he saw and greeted the many friends who have come down to Mexico to assist in the Casa del Pastor ministry. It is amazing to see how the Lord brings one person along side the other and the difference each person can make. God has called us to love each other and to further His kingdom and I have a special thank you to every person who is involved in this ministry at Casa del Pastor. To those who come down and help paint or build things for the moms and kids. To the faithful whose monthly and other donations support and feed the moms and children. To the ones who pray for us and lift us up in prayer. Thank you. As Jesus said excitedly as he was passed from one friend to another "Mi amigos!" Please know that you are part of his joy.

Marjorie McPhillips

"Well done, good and faithful servant!" These are the words we long to hear when we enter heaven�s gates. Marjorie McPhillips is an example of one of God�s good and faithful servants. Marjorie has been a missionary for over 24 years. She lives in San Vicente and we have had wonderful fellowship together. Marjorie has had some serious health problems lately, but the Lord has graciously brought her through thus far. Marjorie is 80 years old and needed artery surgery.

After she came home to San Vicente she felt that she was having a heart attack. After she was taken to a hospital in San Diego it was found that she did indeed had had a heart attack. She ended up having a quadruple bypass, but wonderfully came through and is making such a rapid recovery that the doctor�s are amazed. She was out of intensive care in 12 hours, within 24 hours she was sitting up chatting to the nurses and even walking down the hall. She was discharged in only four days because she was doing so well! She is actually out of the hospital and is renting a room in San Diego for a few months while she recovers with a home care nurse. Please pray for her steady recovery and her ongoing walk with the Lord. Lisa and Jeanie are going to visit her and bring her any items that she needs .

Call Jeanie!

Jeanie was very excited to be blessed with a cell phone that has an American number so her friends can call her...but so far nobody has! She longs to hear your voice and will tell you if she can�t talk, so call her! Please use this number instead of any other one that you might have. Why don�t you program it right now into your cell phone and write it in your address book. Then call her!

(619) 241-9161. She also is back on line, email her at:

School Supplies Needed:

With approximately 71 children at Casa Del Pastor, the majority who are school aged, you can imagine the need for school supplies! Schools in Mexico generally do not provide any school supplies, the children must have their own. This actually keeps quite a few children from attending. As part of giving the children a "hope and a future" all of the children at Casa Del Pastor attend school, even through high school and some onto college! This is not the norm, these children are very lucky to be able to continue their education, but they do need school supplies. Right now is a good time to look at the list and pick up some extra that are on sale at Walmart or Target etc. Call Jeanie and she�ll help you arrange on how to get them to her. Thank you!
