Many young people in Mexico do not have the opportunity to go to college and study for a career. They may never have the chance to train for a profession that interests them and uses their talents. They will struggle to find jobs to support themselves and their families. At Niños de Mexico, we encourage all of our kids to pursue college or technical school. We want them to have the tools to provide for themselves and their families in the future. We hope that they will be able to find rewarding professions and see them as a ministry.

Some Niños Alumni have gone on to become doctors, ministers, lawyers, educators, professors, beauticians, etc. So many areas in which God can use them to leave his fingerprints on people’s lives! We currently have ten students in college or technical school. Marcos, Ricardo P., and Jesús are in Bible college. Marcela is studying at John Brown University. Victor, Oreb and Claudia are studying at universities in Mexico. Maycol and Salvador are in technical school. David is currently working on a license in architecture at one of his school’s satellite programs in Canada. These students are studying everything from Biblical Studies to Gastronomy to Computer Technical support. We are excited for them to be pursuing their interests and working toward a profession. What a privilege to see them come from the most humble and hopeless circumstances and transform into young people with goals and the opportunities to reach their dreams!

Please encourage and support these students in prayer. Pray for them to grow in wisdom in order to make good choices for their future, to take their studies seriously and make a good effort. Pray for those working in internships and other work-study programs, that God will give them good contacts for future job opportunities. Pray for them to look for ministry opportunities right now in their schools, as well as in their future professions. Pray for Niños to be able to provide the emotional and financial support they need.

Please celebrate and pray for our future graduates in December 2007 and January 2008:

Oreb – degree in Communications
Marcela – degree in Graphic Design
Claudia – degree in Business Administration

God bless you each for your love and support of the ministry of Niños de México!
