Gabriel
House II and Angel Baeza Silva |
|
|
Ted and I finally met Angel Baeza Silva, a
truly amazing Brother in the Lord.
Angel is a paraplegic man who has not only overcome the adversity of his handicap but he has a heart to help others who are disabled and teach them how to help themselves. His courage and fortitude are inspiring. He has a passion to help the handicapped help themselves; that is why we are so excited to have him as part of the Gabriel House team. Because he crawled in the dirt as a child, unable to walk and
suffered the humiliation of abandonment and prejudice that accompanies
the life of the handicapped in Mexico he has tremendous compassion
and drive. |
 |
Angel is an extremely gifted inventor,
welder, jewelry make, stain glass artist, wood carver, carpenter, upholsterer
and an athlete. He
is an inspiration to everyone when he participates in the annual bike-run
from Rosarito Beach to Ensenada on a hand-crank bike he designed and built. |
|
Angel and his family will be supervising
our Gabriel House in San Vicente (Gabriel House II) where they will teach
several of our boys’ daily living and occupational
skills that will give them the opportunity to live and work in society
with dignity and purpose. His example of a capable and Godly man
living with a handicap, loving the Lord and serving Him is what we want
for all our kids.
Jesus says in John 10:10 "The thief does not come
except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come
that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Our goal for all our children is to give them the best possible life we can that is why we are excited and blessed to have Angel and his family as part of our Gabriel House staff. |
