Since the beginning of the “Backpack Program” I’ve learned how much a simple backpack can mean so much to a student in need. I remember awhile back when a pastor told me that there were schools in Mexico that would turn away students if they didn’t come prepared for class. Did you know that school supplies could cost twice as much in Mexico than in the US? So many children want to go to school but are unablebecause their parents barely earn enough money to feed and clothe them – let alone afford the “luxury” of school supplies.
Recently, after a Mexico Ministry Planning Board meeting Pastor Ezequiel, from the Tecate Board, handed me an envelope full of letters from students from all ages who wanted to express their gratitude. They were grateful to receive an Amor Ministries‘ backpack. They drew pictures, sent school pictures, and wrote lovely words of thanks. I pray that this encourages you to keep believing for more… More opportunities to express gratitude to God for allowing us to continue one more day!

“Hi! I am Jose Alejandro. I am 8 years old. I want to thank you for giving me this backpack with supplies that was brought to us by Pastor Ezequiel.”

“Thank you Amor Ministries for the school supplies that was brought to our church and may God continue to bless you. I hope to see you soon at our church. God bless you.”

“Hi! My name is Jaret. Thank you very much for the backpack. God bless you for the school supplies and the crayons and the erasers and the pens and the pencil sharpeners, and the cool backpack and thank you very much. BYE!”

“Hi! My name is Guadalupe Hernandez Tirado. I live in Loma Tova and I want to thank Amor Ministries for putting this blessing in my life. It was such a great need that I had. This backpack and supplies will not only will help me go forward with my studies but also has taught me how to generous with others. May God bless you forever. Thank you!”

“Hi! My name is Pureza (Purity), which is weird but true and even though it is I really like my name. Even though at times I get frustrated at times because everyone either calls me Teresa or Esperanza. Well, whatever I enjoy correcting my loved ones. But that’s enough about my name… I want to thank you with all my heart the generosity you have, and thankfully because of that I am able to go back to school with a new backpack. It’s so great to know that real good people still exist because they help people without asking anything in return. With all my heart thousands of thanks and that God shower you with blessings. I hope one day to meet you all. Thanks!”

“Hi. My name is Moises Hernandez and I live in Lomatora, Baja California. I am attending a university and I am studying Mechanics (Autos). I like everything that has to do with cars.. It’s my passion. I’ve already finished 2 years and have 2 more years to go. When I finish I want to have my own business and use on all the knowledge that I have learned. Thank you for the backpack and the supplies. They are so needed especially now that times are hard and its difficult to buy things right now. Your friend, Moises.”

Heading – “You don’t know how much I love you!”
” Thank you for the backpacks and also for helping us build our church. Take care and don’t get sick. That you don’t die of hunger and that everything turns out good. See you later.”
