The Slums Outside of Monterrey

We came to a place called “la marranera”. It is called that because the area was formerly a place where pigs were raised. It’s basically a slum neighborhood now. The residents have no electricity and no running water because the government does not sanction the housing. Pastor Rolando took us there to meet some of the people and distribute some rice. The first kid we came across with was naked. His mother says he refuses to wear a diaper. The brothers prayed with her because she was worried about a growth she has and fears that it is cancer. She also had us pray for her son that is hospitalized.



Brother Bill here is praying for an elderly lady who needed some money for medications.





The lady in this photo built her own adobe house using dirt and horse manure.
