Circulo Adalante ..... Walking circle

This is an amazing ministry that has been happening for the last 5 years here in Tijuana, Mexico. It is something that has grown and grown over the years and has seen many children the ages of 3yrs to 14yrs old though over the years.

Susie has been running this every week, there are between 30-40 kids that come and they have activities crafts and learning activities, they learn to read books and learn how to spell and they also learn rules and boundaries for their lives and they learn how they are loved an accepted by Christ.

I have only been to this ministry about 10 times but for the last 4 weeks i have been attending and teaching the 6th Grade they are from 11yrs and up and there is about 30 of them, i have loved it so much we have been teaching them the redemptive steps of the old Testament!!

Its been so much fun and this last week i took them on a Exile walk, we did it very dramatically, i lined them up and we were very military style with them they had to hold a string and not let go, they had to be silent and just walk. I lead them through the streets and told them stories of what it was like for the Isrealities in Exile. Back in Exile the people were chained together and had fish hooks from lip to lip and they were to walk miles and miles, they were falsed to live in a pagan culture and they had to learn new languages and live in a very violent, inhuman way. In this time because God is great and loves his people he still sent them prophets who brought messages of Hope and promise. It was fun that we acted out this experience and the Kids loved it, the DTS students acted out scenes as the kids walked down the road.

It was so much, they really learnt that when they are going through hard, dark times that God is still with them and he is never going to leave them and he will always bring a message of Hope and Love for his people!!!

Circulo is an incredible ministry that is helping children to learn and be educated to a higher level and to bring in so many values to their lives.

When Circulo started in Antorcha the Colonia it has been in for 5 years, there were really poor houses, that were nearly standing, no constant electricity or water, but now it is a triving community that has electricity and water, that has some little shops, it is safer and it has many Homes Of Hope Houses. this community has been really transformed and now it is time for Circulo to move to another Colonia (Community) and to begin serving and seeing transformation in this new community!!!

This has become a real precious family environment.... for the kids to learn how to be take care of each other, love each other and be a real community!!
