My Story

I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are doing well! It is a great blessing for me to be part of the feeding program from Living Water. My name is Abner Omar Isaac Garcia Morente. I turn 12 years old this year. We attend Pentecostal Full Gospel Church, and the activity we enjoy the most is the Thanksgiving Day service. My mother has accepted Jesus in her heart. My biological father is not part of my life since he abandoned us. My mother is a merchant; she sells fruits and veggies in the market. My stepfather is a farmer and grows different products for selling. He has been living with us for about 6 years and helps my mom to supply our home needs.

I would like you to pray for my mom´s health and mine. She is having pain in her abdomen because of the two cesarean sections she has had. Moreover, she has pain in her left breast, and due to a lack of resources, she has not visited a doctor. As for me, well, let me tell you that I started to have convulsions about 8 months ago, and I have hurt myself when I fall. I also do not remember my way home, and my mother does not want me to go outside when I convulse. My parents are worried about me, and fortunately, I can attend the doctor at the LW clinic and receive medical care.

I am a fifth-grade student. I have a friend named Noe, and we like to play football. We have been friends since childhood. The hardest thing I have faced so far was my father´s abandonment. However, God has been supporting us and giving me peace in my heart. My family says that my character and facial features are similar to my father. God has been so good with my family and has provided for our needs. Jesus is my friend and I talk to him through prayer. I would like you to know that my mom, Irma, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Well, this is all for now, and I would like to hear news from you soon. May God bless you!

Warm hugs,

Abner Omar Isaac Garcia Morente
