what would you do to protect your family
what would you do to safeguard the lives
of your children well today we are at a
very special place where people have
been through tremendous trauma but their
courage and their tenacity and their
hope in difficult times is nothing short
of encouraging this is a place where
many many migrants are fleeing violence
in their own home countries from all
around the world literally and coming
here hoping for safety in a better
future what we are able to do is meet
the needs at this place at this time we
can’t fix all the problems this is not a
political issue this is about a huge
influx of people who now have nothing
but the clothes on their back they don’t
have fresh water they don’t have food
for their families they don’t have
medical care but what we can do is come
in with the hope of Christ and provide
those things so Hand of Hope our
Outreach arm working with many other
wonderful organizations is here doing
just that today they have three good
meals they have clean water and they are
getting Medical Care and their stories
will Amaze you

cartels we have a food business and they
wanted our money when we said no they
started sending pictures of our
four-year-old daughter saying they were
going to kill us and take her for
themselves
my daughter used to love painting going
to school and playing with her friends
but now she’s very sad and it’s hard to
get her to eat but at least we are safe
now here in this place
[Music]
I am a single mom and I have five kids I
had to leave three of them at home with
my parents because of the threats it’s
so difficult that I can’t be with my
other children I pray every night that
God helps me make a home somewhere and I
can be with all my children again
[Music]
were you afraid for your life all the
time if they weren’t happy with what you
were doing what would happen well it was
awful because they took me everywhere
they they went one time when the leader
um his best friend got shot in the head
and I went and he told me help him and I
was like I can’t do anything and he put
out his gun but he was mad and I thought
I was gonna die that day but
I’m here now so
[Music]
adios

my wife and I didn’t know how we were
going to do what God called us to do but
God has taught me to have faith that he
will provide for us
right now we have about 1500 people from
all over the world that have a place to
sleep and are being fed but there’s a
lot of people outside just waiting for
their turn to get in
all right
when I first met Pastor Gustavo there
was basically no nobody helping him he
was working three jobs his wife working
two jobs just so they could just trying
to meet the needs meet the needs you
know feeding one meal a day if they
could as much as they could Rice and
Beans really simple and put it put it
put a roof over their heads give them a
place to sleep and I knew this is way
bigger this is way more than Bethel
Global Response can do the only way to
to actually help is to have this
collaborative approach where the body of
Christ comes in its fullness and so
water Mission Mercy Chef’s coming in and
helping with the with the food Bethel
gold response Hand of Hope you guys were
the first ones to really say yes we’re
gonna Champion that and pour resources
into it time effort and thousands of
families literally thousands of families
have come through here
and encounter Jesus it’s transforming
their lives it’s transforming their
families lives these little kids are
encountering hope for the first time
um you can’t put a price on that we
can’t we can’t
[Music]
Kaylee walk us through just quickly what
people will receive when they come they
first go and get triage and from there
they will go on to the doctors and we
have some pediatricians we have a
chiropractor we have nurses two dentists
which is amazing because they’re doing
fillings cleaning wow a girl came
through yesterday and she was just in
the worst pain and we were able to
extract the teeth clean it up get her
started on antibiotics and so many
different things we have psychiatrists
here which I would think with the trauma
that people are coming here with that
would be hugely beneficial very
beneficial and what you’re seeing right
behind us the prayer area the prayer is
a huge part of that oh my goodness
yesterday we had 30 salvations and
amongst that we had four people who
walked out of here healed in different
ways wow we can’t necessarily change
someone’s whole life but we can meet an
immediate need and we can share the love
of God and the gospel and it’s huge so
it’s been it’s been wonderful and the
people are so thankful
[Music]
you know there is nothing better in this
world nothing that warms your heart more
than putting a smile on a child’s face
than helping people when God opens the
door for you to do so so don’t sit back
thinking that you can’t accomplish
anything major in the world one smile on
one child’s face is something major and
you can do it through your special gift
to Joyce Meyer Ministries it provides
food and water and medical care and love
all over the world just like in this
situation and so many others so please
go to our website give us a call today
and do what you can
today
we’re winking
good job
you are here on a regular basis how do
you see people responding to the love
that they receive you have such a
revolving door of people here that
people arrive every day they actually
arrive on the hour every hour and so
there’s always a constant need and just
to be able to have this many doctors as
medical team that affirm them that God
has not left them God has not forgotten
them it instills a lot of peace and a
lot of Hope and the stories will just
break your heart yes I mean what what
people will sacrifice for their love of
their families I myself didn’t have like
a good concept of what was actually
happened on the ground it wasn’t until I
was I came here started visiting every
month sat with the people started
actually hearing their stories the
one-on-one the testimonies of the pain
the suffering of them leaving their
place being in this being here on a
trajectory somewhere else like just
looking for peace and hope so this is
this isn’t a political statement by any
means this is being able to reach out
your hand to help your brother to help
your sister when they’re in time of need
and so that’s what we want to do is just
want to help families in need yeah
[Music]
[Music]
what did it feel like for you to have to
leave everything behind and flee for
your lives
very sad we lost everything
you don’t think something like this is
going to happen to you and then it does
I thought they were going to kill me
pressure on you
[Music]
yes
and if you don’t do what they tell you
they’ll go to your home and kill your
family
why did you want to come here and how
has it helped your family
because we didn’t have any resources no
money and the pastor he’s a good person
he supported us
he gives us food and a place to sleep
he’s a very good person
[Music]
people who said if I didn’t leave right
then I knew that I would lose someone I
loved so the best way to respond to that
is in real love that’s really the only
thing that can counteract that kind of
evil in the world it’s so amazing how
even just a word a hug a smile a word of
encouragement will just turn their
situation around a lot of these people
are living in situations that are pretty
hopeless they’re living they’re carrying
trauma and so when you have a group of
people coming in to hold them up and to
also give them a word of encouragement a
word of Hope and to be able to say what
God is saying like he’s here he’s in
this place he’s loving on these people
he’s caring for them we thank you for
the protection of this precious family
we thank you that you have brought them
here so talk about the importance of
clean water yes before there was clean
Safe Water available here we were told
there were a lot of sick children is
that accurate yes there was a lot of
sick children before they put in the
water filtration system through water
Mission yeah yeah they were able to get
the 10 000 gallons of water filtration
in here to be able to just drink some
clean water to wash your clothes to
bathe in that so yes there was a lot
more sickness here prior to the water
filtration system
[Music]
foreign
he told us that they didn’t have any
good water source so people used to
drink water from the pipe and and that
water isn’t safe that water brings
bacteria virus and parasites so they get
sick very often they had many children
who got sick and so we collect the water
it goes through these filters and then
when the water is clean it is sent to
this big tank that is over here and this
tank fits another neighborhood that is
over there probably 300 people that
lives in the other neighborhood this
system works in in the sense clean water
to everyone yeah and this is of course a
passion for you for water Mission and
you’re making a difference all around
and it’s wonderful for us at Joyce Meyer
Ministries hand of hope to be able to
connect with you and do this together so
that we can serve even more people what
I know is that it’s been great to be
together and and the impact we are
having together is so so bigger
all right
it means so much to us at hand of hope
to be able to partner with people like
you with water Mission with all these
different people who are coming in and
doing their part how would you encourage
now all those viewers at home who are
watching and are thinking what is my
part Pastor Gustavo says it like this
he says well these people are passing
through my country through my city
then that’s an opportunity for them to
encounter Jesus while they pass through
here and we as the larger body of Christ
really just get to come around and wrap
our arms around him and kind of that
Aaron and Moses kind of moment of I
can’t do what Pastor Gustavo does but I
can hold his arms up just for a little
bit longer for him to continue to pour
out and serve these people
and every person that makes it possible
for this ministry to keep moving forward
and may God bless you and multiply back
to you everything you are doing for us
here in this place

Brokenhearted and he is very close in
this place because there are a lot of
broken parts but God is working in
