Here are a ton of pictures from the NotFatherless March 2021 Mission Trip! While there, I stayed with Big Heart Orphanage, Melody’s Orphanage, and got to know folks from another group visiting all the way from Oklahoma. Shout out to Asbury Church if you’re reading this!

My first night there we repainted the living room walls. The white and green stripes have been the color scheme since Melody’s opened their doors. It was definitely time for a change!

The next day with Melody’s Orphanage was spent handing out food and evangelizing to the Reynosa Community. We went to the dump on the outskirts of town, and to the Hidalgo border crosswalk bridge. There are a lot of homeless in both places that are always in need of food, water, and clothes. Jaime Mayorga (the director of Melody’s Orphanage) and his family minister to these place regularly. Meeting the basic needs of these people is just one way they show Christ’s love for them.
