My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name, and I thank you in advance for reading my information. I would like to start it asking for your prayers for my mother because my stepfather has abandoned her, and now she is the only one who has to cover all the family needs. She is earning a living by weaving typical clothes and raising hens and pigs for selling. Thankfully, she is in good health. About my stepfather, we do not have any information. I sometimes go to work in Guatemala City, and I help my mother with the home income. Currently, we are not attending a church, so LW Evangelism team took advantage of their visit to share the gospel with us and encourage my mom to look for a church; she helped me to give my information to them and she is grateful for their words.

Thankfully, I am in good health, and I am 15 years old. I continue helping with the household chores. I tell you that I like sunny days because my siblings and I can go to swim in the river. I have been attending the feeding program for about 7 years, and I like the Bible classes because I learn about God’s Word. My mother was motivated to register me at the program because of the delicious meals. She is very grateful to you for blessing me in that way, and she prays that God blesses you in a big way. I wish you the best, and I hope to hear from you soon.

With much love
