Your support enables the local church to provide vulnerable babies and mothers with a healthy, happy start through the Compassion Survival program at Iglesia Nacional Presbiteriana Puerto del Cielo in Chiapas, Mexico<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Currently, the program is serving 15 mother-infant pairs. All caregivers learn parenting and income-generating skills and receive spiritual nourishment from God\u2019s Word. Moms and babies at risk of malnutrition receive nutritional support and regular medical check-ups. Church members and program staff form a loving, supportive community to give mothers encouragement in their parenting journey.<\/p>\n

This report includes recent statistics, photos of Survival program activities and additional highlights. We hope you enjoy seeing the impact your gift has made in the lives of these babies and their mothers.<\/p>\n

Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

My name is Geydi, and\u00a0I live in a beautiful place near a river where we can wash clothes and bathe. The water is cold because it flows down from the mountains, and the area is surrounded by trees. It\u2019s peaceful here, with clean streets, and I thank God that we live in such a calm and tranquil environment.<\/p>\n

When I joined the Survival program, I was pregnant. Now, my baby is almost one year old, and I feel incredibly grateful for all the support we\u2019ve received. The program has helped us with medicine when the babies get sick, vitamins, and many helpful classes.<\/p>\n

Through the program, I\u2019ve learned how to properly feed, care for, and protect my baby. Everything I\u2019ve learned has helped me become a better mother.<\/p>\n

I thank God for the gift of life, for the opportunity to continue learning through the program\u2019s classes, and for all the people who make this support possible. I\u2019m truly happy to be part of the Survival Program.<\/p>\n

With heartfelt gratitude,<\/p>\n

Geydi<\/p>\n

Your support helps provide a strong, healthy start for moms and babies during an extremely vulnerable time. Monthly group activities and training sessions empower caregivers with critical skills in parenting, income generation, and child development. Regular medical check-ups and nutritional support foster healthy growth for both mother and child. Survival specialists also make home visits to check on progress and provide spiritual discipleship. The photos below highlight some of the recent activities making an impact in these families\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n

A nutritionist gives an important talk on dental hygiene. The moms learned how crucial it is to start brushing their children’s teeth early to prevent issues like nighttime toothaches and cavities. They were taught to brush their children\u2019s teeth twice a day \u2014 once in the morning and again before bedtime. The moms in the group were excited about the session and grateful to receive toothbrushes and toothpaste for their babies to practice their new knowledge at home.<\/p>\n

For babies born into extreme poverty, reaching their first birthday is a significant accomplishment. Thanks to your generous gift, seven babies recently celebrated this milestone and transitioned into Compassion’s home-based Sponsorship Program. Surrounded by the ongoing support of program staff, a vibrant local church, and loving sponsors, these precious little ones will continue to receive the resources and relationships they need to thrive.

In Acts 2:42 we read that the early followers of Jesus \u201cdevoted themselves \u2026 to fellowship\u201d (NIV). Fellowship remains an essential expression of faith and is especially crucial for new mothers. In many instances, fellowship activities provide a critical lifeline for mothers who would otherwise remain isolated.<\/p>\n

Whether fellowship includes sharing meals together, celebrations, educational training sessions, home visits, or other opportunities, mothers in the Survival program experience God\u2019s love and care through these activities. These and other fellowship occasions not only encourage mothers but also connect them with other mothers, establishing meaningful friendships, and offering emotional, physical and spiritual support.<\/p>\n
