Dear friends,

Last week I returned from Baja, Mexico. I thought I had seen poverty. When Anthony and I joined with the Baja Christian Ministries team in El Nino, I was truly overwhelmed by the mass of impoverished people and the conditions in which they live. Hundreds upon hundreds of shelters families have built from scraps of materials from trash heaps dot the landscape. Walls like a patchwork quilt. Dusty dirt roads.
For every 20 people who give just a dollar a day, we can build one home. With 200 people, we can build 10 homes, and 2,000 would help us build a village. Your help makes this possible. If you are already helping us build homes through your gifts, thank you. For those considering joining with us, your $1 a day makes a difference in waging war on poverty, both physical and spiritual.
There are now 40 million people living in extreme poverty in Mexico alone. Having seen with my own eyes the need, I humbly ask that you join with us to build a village.

Sincerely,
Robert Michaels
Executive Director
