Hello, my name is Dachanee Ariso; my nickname is Kaew*. I was born in a poor family. My mom had to work really hard to take care of five children because my father couldn’t labor as a handicapped person. When I was a kid, I had to fight and work hard in everything in order to study for the chance that when I grew up, I would have a better life. But really, how would my life be good if I didn’t know Jesus Christ?

Mexico City was not a place Phillip and Beauty Ndoro imagined they would live and work, but after many years with a college and university ministry in their home country of Zimbabwe, God used several apparent coincidences to nudge them towards something new.  After much time in prayer and discussion with their mentors, Phillip and Beauty realized the holistic ministry of Servant Partners in Mexico City was where God was leading them.  They and their two children moved there four years ago and are part of Comunidades de Shalom (Communities of Peace), seeking the spiritual, emotional, and physical health of their neighbors.

Over 400 people came by The Shack, the booth where staff from Servant Partners, InnerCHANGE, and Servants to Asia's Urban Poor joined together to share about God's heart for the urban poor.  Our staff staff now have the welcome task of following up with 213 people who asked for further information.  Praise God for people who hear the cry of the urban poor!
