A group of 5 people will be heading back to San Lucas, Guatemala to work with Pastor Merari Rodriguez and to officially start the His Hands for Guatemala Child Sponsorship Program! We will be traveling down to Guatemala on December 10th and will return on December 14th. Our plan is to gather the necessary information on the first 25 children to be enrolled in the sponsorship program. These children will be the first students of the new Fuente de Esperanza School Project Pastor Merari and his partner, Pastor Mario Mendez, will be starting in the small village of El Membrillal in the mountains outside of Magdelena. We will also be visiting the town of Antigua in anticipation of another project Pastor Merari would like to start there in the future.
We covet your prayers as we make this quick trip and as we work with these children. This will all be new to them and may be a bit intimidating so pray for calm hearts and willing spirits.
We don’t yet know for sure what the sponsorship fee will be for these children but we do know it will be a monthly commitment. We will also be looking for sponsors for the teachers as well as sponsorship for the cost of food for the program. The children and the staff will all get a light breakfast and lunch each school day. The children will also receive basic medical care through the school program. If you are interested in sponsoring a Guatemalan child or any of these other sponsorships, please send us an e-mail so we can keep you informed of the details as they are completed.
Looking forward to what God has in store!
