This year when you come down you’ll notice we have upgraded our pavilion with a 28 kW solar panel system. We are grateful that this will reduce our electricity bill by about $500 a month! ☀️

Summer is here! Please pray for us as we begin the summer building and our first volunteers arrive today. ❤️ 🥰 Por favor, oren por nosotros mientras comenzamos la construcción de verano y llegan hoy nuestros primeros voluntarios.

In the next weeks hundreds of volunteers will arrive, and we'll quickly go through up to 200 jars of peanut butter in a summer! Would you help us keep up with the demand to provide lunch items, tools or safety supplies? The most needed items are here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3A4KJPTH0R9X7 🔗

Fr. Nicholas, Project Mexico’s Executive Director, and Dennis Awad,PM board chairman, spent the past several days visiting with the Orthodox hierarchs in Mexico. It was a blessing to share the progress of the ministry with all of them. On Wednesday they spent the afternoon with Metropolitan Iakovos (Santiago). On Thursday they visited with Metropolitan Ignacio and today they met with Archbishop Alejo. Project Mexico is truly blessed by the support of the Mexican Orthodox community. It was also exciting to visit the newly inaugurated retreat and event center at St Anthony’s monastery… www.cercamx.com.
