Dear Friends,

Lucia and I would like to welcome you to Mano de Ayuda. Our ministry began as a children’s home in 1977 and since has evolved into a grand family where abandoned children are legally adopted and integrated with our natural children into a loving home. For the past 22 years, our clinic has provided medical care and surgery to thousands of the poor in a four-state area. Today, many have come to know the joys of the new life in Christ through our ministerial outreach highlighted by our Bible Institute for the training of pastors and leaders and nine established fellowships along with six missions in the South Central Mexican States of Michoacán and Guerrero.

Lucia and I have been blessed with twenty-seven beautiful years in Mexico; our Lord has constantly been our source and our delight.   We would like to share some of those moments with you. It has been a team effort since the beginning with His unveiling vision before us. We are ever grateful to all who have faithfully labored with us as we have walked the desert places, the valleys and touched the mountain tops.  These years have truly been thrills, romance and adventure.. the fruits of letting go and trusting in the One who has loved us so.

There is so much more and so now I would like to invite you to explore through our site to see His great love that we have been showered with.  We welcome any inquiries, comments but mostly your prayers as we seek Him and His will in our tomorrows.

In His love,
John & Lucia
