About this audiobook
How do children live just a few feet across our southern border? Cristal and Fina struggle to find enough to eat as they raise themselves on the streets of a poverty-level neighborhood. Daniel worries about his little brother Memo who has serious respiratory attacks from the pollution and desert climate of Juarez, Mexico. Pastors Pati and Miguel want to lead a different kind of church, one responsive to the needs of their community. Life is hard in this newly-formed neighborhood on the border. Can the church help the families learn to work together as Christ's family to ease each other's burdens?
This book is intended for all ages.
