My Story

Hello, it is my pleasure to greet you in this opportunity hoping our Lord is blessing you! My name is Ana de la Cruz Chingo. I turned 11 years old this October. I attend 3^rd grade and I receive my classes on the morning shift. I usually help with some housework. On weekends, my family and I go out to collect firewood. My dad does farm work and goes to pick coffee beans on the coast during the harvest season. My mom is a housewife and weaves typical items. Additionally, we have a small store, and one brother is working in the United States and is helping us with some money. We raise hens, sheep, pigs and cows for selling to supply our needs. We cultivate corn and beans for our livelihood. Even though we do not have electricity service, we have a solar panel to get light at home.

My parents accepted Jesus into their hearts, and we continue attending Prince of Peace Church. I kindly ask for your prayers for the health and daily provision of my family. I am very thankful for the food and medicines I receive through Living Water; it is a great blessing for me and for my family. I love fried chicken; they prepare it delicious. Additionally, at Christmas, I receive a gift which makes me so happy. This time my older sister provided this information to the evangelism staff to share news with you about me. This is all for now, but I am hoping to hear news from you very soon.

Bunch of hugs,

Ana de la Cruz Chingo
