The Mexico children's home, Casa Hogar de Ninos, Carmargo A.C., is located across the border from Rio Grande City, TX. For the past few years, Pastor Osdy Luna and Maria Luna have been running a home for abandoned street children from three counties in Mexico. Currently there are 25 children at the home ranging from 2 to 17 years of age. The Lord has blessed this effort with a building and with this caring couple; this Children's Home functions completely on donations. FBC has been involved with this effort and continues to find ways to help minister to these children as well as to the leadership of this orphanage.  The children of the Casa Hogar orphanage were the happy recipients of a Christmas party on December 15, 2007, provided by seven participants in the Judea area mission group. A mini Posada was held, followed by a pinata, hot chocolate, and Christmas cookies prepared by First Baptist Church W.M.U. members. After refreshments, the children received gifts--coats provided by Adult V Sunday School members and toys and gifts provided by Adult IV Sunday School members, Elnora Corbin's Sunday School class, and a generous donor. Pictured are some of the children opening their packages. Many thanks to all who participated in providing a merry Christmas for these children.

A blessed dental mission trip to Camargo, Mexico, was made in October, 2006, by a group composed of a dentist, orthodontist, nurse, lay church members and friends. Patients were registered, mouths were checked and recommendations made. Assistance was also given in the dental office and with translation. Our nurse took blood pressures and gave out stickers to the children from the Casa Hogar de Ninos (Children's Home) of Camargo. All patients received hygiene bags, a toothbrush, a gospel tract in Spanish and toothbrushing lessons from our nurse and orthodontist. Church members supplied the hygiene supplies and toothbrushes. |
