Seeing others through the eyes of Jesus
Have you ever watched someone when they are serving with a heart like Christ? I have been seeing Jesus ministering in and through the Manos Extendidas team. First, with Michael as he is serving the homeless on the streets. He knows most of the people by name and he is...
Happy New Year!
It is 7:30, New Years Eve. We had just arrived at the girl’s jail. We roll our darken windows down so the guard sees our faces. The guard welcomes us with a big smile and opens the door for us. We sign in and wait for Nelly. We see that one of the guards has left and...

Undercover

A visit to the Girl’s Jail
On a Monday visit to the girls’ jail, I went into one of the rooms and a girl had a cloth in her hand. I saw that she was holding something very gently. It was a small bird that had hurt its leg. The girl said that she wanted scissors to cut the birds wings. Of course...
The day I stepped out of my comforted zone!
