Alma Ruth is originally from Monterrey, Mexico, a lover of people from different cultures and languages and a recent legal immigrant to the United States. Today she resides with her two special needs boys in McAllen, TX, working and serving among asylum seekers and international communities at the Mexico-Texas border.\n\xa0\nSHOW NOTES\nThe Lord began preparing Alma as a child. For the past ten years, her love of Jesus has guided her in her Love Mercy ministry by visiting refugee women in camps on the Texas/Mexico border, but not in an attempt to save them from their physical circumstances. Her focus is simple. It\u2019s personal. She listens to their stories in order to know these women relationally, prays with and over them by name, and most importantly reminds them of their dignity as people and as children of God. \n"Practicing compassion, empathy and mercy will change us all." For Alma, \u201cThat is the difference between charity and ministry.\u201d\n\xa0\nEmail alma@love-mercy.org for ways to help this growing ministry.\n\xa0\nFor more Alma:\nInstagram\nFacebook\nTwitter\nlove-mercy.org
