FAMILIAS FELICES - HAPPY FAMILIES

A  happy family in Nuevo Progreso.

Familias Felices is a project originated by Pastor Gerardo that was adopted by the Ministerial Alliance of Nuevo Progreso. It's made up of a group of pastors joined together to serve families and the community through the schools. The purpose of the project is to teach better moral values, propose solutions for various family problems and provide 24 hour a day counselors if there is a crisis. The mission - to encourage values and principles with recognized moral and spiritual models; to develop clear consciences; and to define each family member's role in society. The vision - strengthen families in fragile areas, and reaffirm strong areas by supporting good deeds.

This great program will establish workshops for parents, round table discussions with youth, help for minorities, counseling centers, medical and dental assistance when needed. At this time over a dozen pastors in Nuevo Progreso have provided their names and phone numbers, saying they are available at any time to be of service when a family has a need.

Familias Felices made a presentation at a school in Nuevo Progreso that was so well received that other schools are asking the group to visit their students and parents. On April 10 Familias Felices will be presented by request of the school superintendent at the preparatory school, an equivalent of high school and job training center.

We are excited about this bold project being presented in the schools. It will be openly based on the Bible and Christian teachings. In an area where there are many troubled youth and broken families, the government authorities welcome successful solutions to the problems. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1
