"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

~Ephesians 3:14-21

TRUE LOVE AND COMPASSION

As a new day dawns, the San Angelo Volunteer Team rises early to head to the Markets to buy food for six families, families that are desperately struggling with malnourishment and too poor to make ends meet financially. Whatever their circumstance may be, the San Angelo Team humbly recognizes that each day, these families are just trying to survive. Many of them with small children and precious babies, living in harsh conditions with lack of clean water or a warm place to sleep. Most of the families are found through the church annexes. Some families so dedicated to serving and learning about their one and only Savior, that for many, they walk long distances to attend church regularly to fellowship with other believers and thank God for His love and grace.

Thank you to all team members, who sacrificially gave of your time and resources to touch the lives of these six families. Thank you for your love and dedication you have given to the people in Peru, as many of you come to serve year after year along-side Villa Milagro Ministries.

What an incredible experience as this team joined together to buy food for the six families. Each family will receive meals that will hopefully last them 2-3 weeks and opens a door to LOVE on them and to let them know how much they care!
