It was a grand ending to Phase 1 of the
assignment from God to return to Juárez and
help rescue young children from the city's
drug-infested streets.
With the help of partners like Kenneth
Copeland Ministries, Eagle Mountain
International Church, and a host of others
who had joined in the cause, Alvarado
Ministries International had o cially
launched the facility that o ers free
educational and vocational training to
children in the city of Juárez, one of the
poorest parts of that country.
This past October, Sergio was back
in Juárez; only this time his trip wasn't
to check on the progress of the project
he started in 2022. He was there for
the inaugural ceremony commemorating
the completion of the second phase of the
project, including the opening of a second
building where people will be trained in
vocational skills like sewing and welding.
Faith In Action!
"This is the faithfulness of God," Sergio
said of the project that has been 20 years
in the making. "That He would bless us to
do this is just mind-boggling. There were
a few times when I didn't see anything
happening that I wanted to throw in the
towel. But God was working behind the
curtains.
"This has taught me a lot about faith. If
you have faith in something and you really
believe, you just act on it. Even when my
wife and I were the only partners, we
didn't give up. Over time, God sent faith
people like KCM and EMIC, and others
from around the world to stand with us in
prayer and to help fi nancially. A gentleman
I don't even know sent us $120,000. He
didn't know we were struggling; he just
heard about us, heard from God to help us,
and chose to be obedient.
"None of that would have happened were
it not for the generosity of so many friends
who chose to partner with us."
A New Life?
As a product of the streets of Juárez,
Sergio still remembers the feelings of
hopelessness that overshadowed his
