  We asked for your help on #Giving Tuesday in November and boy did you come through!  We sent your donations to our partners, Rodrigo & Monica and they purchased Christmas meals & gifts for each family in the community.  We loved getting updates from Rodrigo - especially since he enlisted the help of the kids in the tutoring program to wrap the boxes without knowing that they would be the recipients!  We just  love how Rodrigo and Monica involved the kids and teens in ministry to the community.  Thank you for giving.  We realize that there are a lot of amazing ministries that you can and do support.  We are so grateful that you choose to partner with us!
