My Story

Hello! I send you every kind of blessing this morning. This is Iker Adalberto Cruz Escobar and I feel so happy to tell you that my mother enrolled me one year ago I enjoy attending the Bible classes, because we learn verses from the Bible. When we saw the children attending the Feeding Program, we asked them what kind of activities or benefits they did and got, and we were encouraged to attend. My parents are grateful for everything and they pray for the Ministry for more blessings from God and prosperity.

I am in good health. I am nine years old and I am in 3^rd grade this year. I help my mother do some errands. I also pick up the shoes. I love hot weather because I like to play with water during hot days. I live with my parents at home. I want you to know that my mother is suffering from fatty lever, but she is under medical treatment from the public hospital called “San Juan de Dios”, and she takes her medicine. I would like to ask for your prayers for her health. Because my grandmother already passed away, my mother does not need to travel anymore. My father continues working in the carpentry, but he only makes small shelves to sell. The money he earns is not enough, and he needs to drive a moto-taxi to earn extra money. He and my mother try to cover our financial needs. I also help him to work in the carpentry during my vacation from school. Nowadays, my mother is selling home-made snacks in the afternoon to support my father with the home expenses.

As a family, we belong to the Catholic Church called “La Merced”, and we like to attend because we feel the peace of God in our hearts. The LW teacher shared the gospel to my father and we are assured of our salvation in Jesus because we are good people and do what is right. My father helped to collect this information, and the teacher prayed for provision and health for our family. Thank you for your attention and I hope you enjoy my little story. Blessings to you!!

Huge hugs,

Iker Adalberto Cruz Escobar
