Does depression affect you?

15 % of Mexicans suffer from depression. Is this something scary? If you add to this the fact that suicide is the 3rd cause of death among the youth, it starts to become scary. In addition, 50% of the suicides last year were committed by young adults between the ages of 20 and 30 years old. Monterrey is one of the cities where this happens more frequently. These young adults are in great need: not exactly of good self-estime programs or special places where they can be treated. It goes beyond that. What they really need is God's love and forgiveness in their lives. Only his love brings purpose, self-estime and joy into our lives. These teenagers and young adults deserve an opportunity to hear the message that will change their lives forever. They long for a little taste of God's kingdom in their community. In spite of the fact that Monterrey has the highest GDP per capita in Latin America, that it is a major industrial center in Latin America and that it has some of the most prestigious universities the need is superlative: the Gospel of JC, his love and forgiveness; and a godly, loving community are part of what these people really need. May God use Jennyffer and I as we move to this beautiful but needed country.
