RAÍCES (Roots) - A New Chapter Begins: March 2024

Raíces/Roots: When well-nourished and firmly-established in fertile soil, it is the roots that anchor the rest of the plant yielding healthy fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

I, Karlee, have always loved the idea of being “rooted” in Christ, knowing that it is the health and nourishment of the roots that provides stability during the storms and the goodness of the fruit. The gardener tends to the garden, carefully feeding the roots. We may not see them, but their importance is much greater than anything visible in the end.

With this in mind, we are praying through how we can create local ministries to meet the needs of our community through discipling, Bible studies for women and youth, literacy programs, a community library, educational and health workshops, English and sports camps, and so much more! We are asking for your continued prayers as we venture into unknown territory and begin taking steps toward investing in our community here in Morelia!

Over the next few weeks and months, we will be meeting with people in our city and community to discuss the needs of our immediate neighborhood with hopes to obtain a property that will allow opportunities for sports ministry, men’s and women’s events, day camps, and family ministries, etc.

We serve a BIG God. We plan to dream BIG, knowing that each ministry and organization starts with a vision. We long to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and spread hope to as many people as possible through the Great Commission. He will receive the glory! Thank you for believing in us over the last three years! He is not done, yet, and there is a lot more work to be done!

Very soon Raíces will be raising funds to purchase property and employ a local team. We will update you regularly where we stand financially in this process. If you would like to donate toward the purchase of open land or would like to help in the fund-raising process, please contact us directly.  We would love for you to be a part of our journey!
