Ninos de
Mexico
is a home for orphaned, abandoned
an d unwanted children located in Southern Mexico near the
capital, Mexico City. It is a mission work of faith being
carried on by
Merlyn and Wanda
Beeman
and their three
boys, Terry David, James Gregory, and JohnMark. Spon
soring and
overseeing this work is the First Christian
Church in Washington, Missouri.
Ninos de
Mexico
is but a little over 7 years old now
but
much
progress has
been
made
since its beginning.
Since the first child was given a homeon March 25, 1967,
others have
come
making
a
total
of52
children now living
in this home. Here they have found a new life where Christ
is
th e center of
all.
This can be seen in that all of the older children have
accepted
Christ as their Lord and Savior. The older boys
are going out every
weekend
to preach the gospel and
many
week
nights
for Bible Studyin homes in the villages.
There are also three students at our
Bible CoUege
in Eagle
Pass , Texas .
Ninos
de
Mexico
began in
rented
quarters in
Mexico
City but has now moved to the country. The rented house
has been exchanged
for nearly eleven
acres of purchased
landeighteen
miles southeast
of the
city. An
extensive build
ing program began shortly after arrival at their new loca
tion
and is still in progress. The home now has eight
bedrooms,
plus
a large commercial type
kitchen,
a
large
dining room used also as a recreational room and on
special occasions
such
as the annual Christmas program
or revival
meetings
the
Church moves
in),
plus
a
three
bed
room
apartment
for Merlyn
and
Wanda
and their
family
and
th
nursery age children, plus
two
additional
apart
ments
for help that is
needed
to run the home. New side
walks,
some trees
and plants, and a
f w other things
have
been
placed
outside to make the home a
place
of beauty
and homeiness.
About
two
years ago when the opportunity to purchase
a
f w
additional acres of land was made the home was
able
to move
into a
n w
farm program. This was an
x
citmg tune for
this
meant
that
with this
program, jobs for
the youth
of
the home
could
be
provided as well as a
2 50
^^erlyn and y, anda Beeman
supplement to the much needed food supply for the very
large dining table that must be filled three times each day.
The
farm
program now
hs
four
departments. The hog
department with twelve producing sows, the dairy depart
ment with five head of cattle, the rabbit department with a
very
rapidly
growing number
of
animals an d
the chicken
department that is just in the beginning stages. A large
barn is being built to
accomodate
these animals.
The children attend public school in the village where
the home is located
San
Vicente Chicoloapan). This is a
new experience for
many
of the children as
many
of them
have never had the opportunity to attend school.
The home has helped to establish two growing con
gregations in Mexico. On many occasions printed tracts
have been
prepared
by the missionaries of the
area and
the children of the home have
helped
in distributing them.
From these have come contacts for correspondencecourses
and
home
teaching opportunities.
The future of the home can best be summed up in the
words of the founders and directors, Merlyn and Wanda
Beeman.
Our goal has
been
to
see
our kids working
for
the Master, putting Him first in their lives.
We
want them
to
reach
out to their friends, to the
people,
to their country
and even into all of Latin America with the influence of
the
Gospel.
This they are doing. That s why we are thrill
ed. But there is much more to be done. We now see a
need for more
Homes
throughout Mexico. The possibilities
are tremendous. Both in need (we could almost literally
fill
a
hundred
homes
overnight)
and in the
evangelistic
outreach (souls are crying out to be taught of Jesus). We
ask for your earnest prayers to be with us in this venture
of faith as Latin America is sought for Jesus.
