My Story

Hello, my name is Henry Ervin Macario Chingo. It is a pleasure to greet you today. I hope you are doing well along with your loved ones. I want to tell you a little bit about myself today. I am nine years old, and I am in 2^nd grade this year. I pray that I will pass with good grades so I can go to third grade next year. I am thankful that I am in good health, and my family is as well. However, my mom has a problem in her left arm. She has had pain in her left arm for the past two years, but she has not been able to go to the doctor, because we don’t have enough money. She does not take any medicine either. Please pray that she will get better and that she will be able to see a doctor and get the help she needs. Her name is Juana Chingo Jimon. She sometimes works outside of the house to help with expenses, but most of the time she stays home and watches my brother and I and takes care of the housework. My father’s name is Augusto Macario Saquic, and he works as a farmer. He grows crops and cultivates the land for more crops. I also have a younger brother who goes to the program as well. His name is Emerso Kelvin. And we have older sisters who are already married, but recently there have been problems between them and our family. It is causing a lot of tension, and it makes me sad. I don’t like when we have problems, but God has been with us in this time and has always helped us as a family.

Something that makes me happy is playing with my best friend, Wilmer. We have been friends for a long time, and we love playing soccer together. I also love spending time with my dad. He is someone I love because we have a lot of similarities in our appearances. We don’t attend a church as a family, but we know that Jesus is the Son of God. When the Living Water evangelism teacher talked to us, he shared the gospel message with us. My mom is not sure about accepting Jesus into her heart yet, but the teacher encouraged my mom to consider putting all her trust in Jesus as her Savior. This was encouraging for my mother. We are so grateful for all the blessings we have received through the ministry of Living Water Adopt-A-Child. It is a privilege to be a part of this program. I want to thank you for taking the time to read my information today. I know God brought you to my profile for a reason. I send you much love and may God bless you abundantly each and every day. 

Hugs and kisses,

Henry Ervin Macario Chingo
