July Update

Dear Friends and Family,
It is hard to believe our summer mission teams have come and gone and a new school year is just around the corner. We praise God for a very productive summer. The mission teams were a huge blessing. We are truly amazed by how much each team accomplished.
Our first team, Lebanon Baptist Church from Roswell, Georgia, built a beautiful new classroom for our school, ministered through crafts and gifts at an orphanage in Mexico, and organized and held a vacation Bible School in Reynosa Mexico for over 80 children. They also helped paint student desks. In short, Lebanon was a great blessing not only to us at MCA, but also to the many children and parents they ministered to. We are extremely grateful for all their hard work and as always we really enjoyed the fellowship.
Our second team was much smaller than the first but equally as hard working. Who knew what 5 men from Heritage Baptist Church in Johnson City, Tennessee could accomplish in just 5 days? They worked incredibly hard and accomplished more than we ever could have imagined. They installed a fence around the playground, poured three new sidewalks, painted a classroom and some student desks, and helped build a large storage building which we desperately needed. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and are incredibly grateful for all they did for our ministry.






We are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new baby girl. The doctor says it will be any day now! We will keep you posted. Please keep us in your prayers as we adapt to parenthood and prepare for a new school year.
Sincerely,
Juan and Rachel Curling
