Praise God!

I've been spending quite some time helping out in the Medical Missions aspect of YUGO's Ministry here in Tijuana area because they've had quite a few outreaches in the churches of the pastors that are in my Class.

One little girl I have been taking to hospital visits is little Lupita. Lupita is 8 years old. She has 11 brothers and sisters-- 8 of which live at home now. They live in a small house ( 320 Square feet) in one of East Tijuana's poor Colonias.

Lupita has a condition where her brain is moving into her nasal and sinus cavity. Her nose is noticeably large on the bridge area- where her brain has pushed it's way out to. She has frequent infections in her eyes and is in danger because her brain is in a vulnerable spot!

We found Lupita when YUGO Missionary Cindy Reid was working in that Colonia helping the poor children and families with clothes and food. This last spring a Medical clinic was held in her community and Al and Barb Goldworthy set out to help her with whatever she needed. Little Lupita declared her faith in God saying that she was trusting Jesus to take care of her one way or another! We finally got things together to get her to Dr.'s appointments this fall and she's been going lots. Her family is very poor and cannot afford taxi or even bus fare really to the Dr.'s appointments so I've been going out and transporting them back and forth as they need.

We just got word that she is close to ready for Brain surgery- she has 2 more pre-op appointments left. The issue was the cost... The Medical ministry had been able to raise the cost to cover her many $15.00 appointments- and then her $500. MRI and her second $160 MRI/ Blood test... but the surgery is $4000.00-- still a bargain compared to US or Canadian costs, but for the medical mission, a new ministry with YUGO ( They've been in Mexico for about 8 months...) a formidable task!

But not for our Jesus!!

They had sensed God telling them to follow through with Lupita no matter the cost! The Goldworthy's had preplanned a trip to the North Eastern US to fundraise for the ministry on Nov 6th- the same day we found out the surgery's cost-- Today on the 9th they called me to tell me that God had provided the finances already for Lupita's surgery!!

Praise God!!

Thank you for partnering with us to allow us to be here- in this case I'm only the chauffeur-- but there aren't many others who know the communities like I do so it's an area I can assist...

I love what I'm doing! I'm thankful that God has allowed me to be apart of this ministry-- thank you for the part you play in making this happen!!
