The Covid-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on our world and Baja California is no exception. The government of Mexico has set a 'shelter in place' order for the months of April and May. This has had a dramatic impact on the lower-class, working families, earning minimum wage, which is generally only $2 an hour. Unable to work, families are getting desperate for food.
While we cannot build homes currently, as a ministry we are still staying active to meet the needs of the community, as best as we can. In Ensenada the local government gave us a list of families that were in need of food. While wearing masks and practicing social distancing, we go to the families homes and meet them at their door, handing over a box of food and supplies and praying for them.
During one of our outings we planned to meet up with a man at the end of his street. Upon arriving, we noticed that he was elderly and using a cane, limping along as he came to greet us. He couldn't carry the box of food so we helped him back to his house.
As we entered the home to drop the food off and put the items in their fridge, all that it contained was a head of lettuce and a half used jar of mayonnaise. When his wife saw the box of food, tears filled her eyes. We prayed with them and shared that God is our provider, saying "God is good," and he beamed, responding, "No, God is super good!"
