November 2021


On November Sth, Andres Hernandez, a local evangelizer welcomed the 10 families, 30 displaced people in all, Into his home and sheltered them from further harm. 37 people under one small roof! What a beautiful testament to love thy neighbor. CWM partnered with Arch Bishop Fabio Martinez Castillo to send food relief to help feed these 30 refuges and others throughout the seven affected municipalities of Chiapas and Tapilua. These resilient communities responded. Everyone pitched in to help unload trucks and distribute the dry goods and supplies received through your generosity and CWM partners, helping those who lost everything.

On behalf of the families affected from the community of Santa Crus in the municipality of Tapilula, we thank the benefactors who throught the Full Time Evangelzers and Andres Hernandez Gonzalez promoted the humanitarian aid we received on November 23, 2020. We are grateful to God for this show of charity and brotherhood and to you for the supper our families received and your packages of basic pantries. Also we tank brother Andres Hernandez (full-time lay missionary), for the great support he has given us, offering us shelther for our families, thanks to him at least we have a roof to shelter our children. We have small children and unfortunately we have lost our houses, our heritage that with great effort and work we had. We practically have lost everything.

We have no words to thank for the support and help received, you will be in our prayers. On Sunday we have a mass celebration and there we'll put you in God's hands. I each moment we remember your good actions for being with us and for not leaving us alone.


God our Lord bless you and thank you for the support.
