Families who come to our centers will be invited to participate.

Thank you God,
Because I was just siting here grying my eyes out. My mother lost her job five month ago and I 've been trying to help her but times have become hard for me as well. I have been to several chruchs that said they could not help us but I prayed that the GOD will help me give my nine year old brother a great christmas and to see a smile on my mother face. God Bless

I know this comes a little late, but I just found this blog! That must have been an excellent ministry and a great blessing for those you served. God is always pleased when we reach out to the poor. Some of the greatest miracles I have seen have been in places most people have never heard of, and with the poorest people you can imagine. I hope that you will continue to help the poor, and that God will continually provide everything you need for it. From an evangelist who for the next two months be sleeping in tents and windowless buildings with his wife and child setting people free while travelling all over Guatemala, many blessings!
