Little
Flock
Little
Flock is our feeding program. We provide an evening meal for the old folks home downtown every 5th Thursday. We also maintain a small food pantry which we call BARE NES which provides the bare necessities to families and individuals who are struggling to make ends meet. Jobs are hard to come by since Mexico is also being hit hard by the recession. Violence in the battle against drugs takes its toll as well.
Education
Lifting
Burdens provides Sunday School Teacher Training
Seminars, Women's Bible Study, Computer
instruction to pastors, repujado (metal embossing)
classes, and other basic craft
classes. From time to time, we teach Adult
Sunday School classes and tutor children.
Marilyn is the "Supervisora" at Regents de Reynosa, an elementary/middle school built for children at the Big Heart Casa Hogar (Children's Home).
Medical/Physical
Needs
Lifting
Burdens helps pay for doctor's visits, costs of
operations and medicines. We provide
transportation to the doctor or to take care of
legal matters. We distribute clothing, blankets
and shoes where needed. We also distribute
school bags and supplies in the fall. All
of these blessings are made possible by donations
to our "Wherever" fund and gifts sent
by our churches back home.
Construction
Jorge
plays a key role in the construction and in educating
Mexican men and women on how to build and maintain
the projects that we are doing. Our organization
is instrumental in providing the USA teams with
a place to work, the materials to do the job and
a place to stay. Lifting Burden Teams have
built homes for needy families, built classrooms,
installed bathroom facilities, straighten walls,
patched roofs, painted, insulated and drywalled,
installed electrical fixtures, built church benches
and the list goes on and on. If you
are interested in bringing a team to Reynosa click
