The horrific news of a massacre of a family in northern Mexico is hard to fathom. Three mothers and six children were killed. Eight children survived thanks to one heroic young boy:
A Mexican cartel attacked the American families and then one young boy was able to hide the children in bushes until they could be rescued. He walked 14 miles for help!
Please pray for these children and families.
One of the eight children who survived the attack in northern Mexico Monday was able to hide six other siblings in nearby bushes before walking 14 miles for help.
