Like a Tree by the Water

On a recent visit to Emmanuel Children’s Home in Juárez, Mexico, I witnessed firsthand how faith can thrive even in the ashes of hardship. Amid the fire-scarred remains of their former classrooms, a mural painted with Jeremiah 17:7–8 quietly declares trust in the Lord. What began over 60 years ago as a small act of obedience has grown into a vibrant ministry, still baptizing children, teaching Scripture, and rebuilding with hope. This is a story of resilience, rooted faith, and a community that continues to bear fruit.
