Our family with Lorraine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The majority of our ministry is urban-centered; we live in the large city of Monterrey\u00a0working\u00a0\u00a0in\u00a0ministries\u00a0of community development. \u00a0So when we have the chance to get out\u00a0into the country, we like to take advantage of the opportunity. \u00a0Especially when it involves visiting with our friends of VetMerge — a \u00a0ministry\u00a0committed\u00a0to “merging the\u00a0love\u00a0of\u00a0Christ\u00a0with veterinary\u00a0Medicine.”<\/p>\n

VetMerge, led by Lorraine Beaumont from Davis CA (pictured with our family), has been sending groups to the small town of Derramadero in northern Mexico for the last nine years where they transform a local church into a makeshift veterinary clinic, complete with operating rooms and everything. \u00a0Families in the area are able to bring\u00a0their\u00a0pets to them to receive both preventative and curative care. \u00a0Over the years there has been a\u00a0noticeable\u00a0improvement\u00a0in the standard of living for the pets as the owners are enabled to care for them in ways they otherwise could not do.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the VetMerge group has a large animal team that visits local ranchers working with them in the care of goats, sheep, horses, mules and cows. \u00a0For the ranchers this is a crucial ministry as the health and well-being of their livestock directly effects their livelihood. \u00a0 For example, the day we visited VetMerge in March, we had the opportunity to accompany them to a small goat ranch. \u00a0There they helped the rancher apply a de-worming medication to the\u00a0entire\u00a0flock. \u00a0By improving the health of his flock, he will have more and healthier kid goats (like the ones in the pictures) to sell during the Holy Week time when goat is traditionally\u00a0eaten.<\/p>\n

So thanks to Lorraine and her team for allowing us to get out of the city and tag along for a day. \u00a0Blessings on your ministry.<\/p>\n
