We received a call not too long ago from a friend from a local church in Guadalajara asking to come see our bases. That they were apart of the missional side of their church and that they wanted to come see how they could be apart of what we were doing out in the La Peña community.
Not more than a couple weeks later they came for a visit and asked to come back and make our base reflect the beauty of what was taking place inside.
We weren’t totally sure besides a couple coats of paint of what they had in mind, but we passed along a few of our thoughts and desires for the space and WOW did they deliver.
They transformed this little run down village space into the most beautiful venue. They went above and beyond in every little detail, from the plants, to the logo, to shelves and more. Then they surprised us with our first hand washing sink at that location (no more buckets of water!!!) and a beautiful prep table for the kitchen.
But more than all of this, their generosity and love was evident in all that they did. They took time with the kids in the community allowing them to be apart of each project. They prayed and prophesied over our staff. They filled our pantry with donations to give, cooked breakfast and brought bags upon bags of donations for our MARKED store.
They loved and encouraged each person that was placed in front of them. They were a walking message of hope. The hands and feet of Jesus.
We cannot thank Maś Vida enough for their love, care, and generosity. The kids came the following Friday and couldn’t believe what they were seeing with their own eyes. You created a space that represents the beauty taking place inside, and left us all speechless.
