2015 is gone let’s make a quick
review:
The good, Miss Betty was able to teach again grades 1st to 6th
at the orphanage, English lessons, full of love and second intentions! (talk
about God!), she also finished her 8th semester of psychology , 3
more to go and will be licensed to be a much better tool for the kids and
community, Miguel was able to finish well his kindergarden!
Precious Moments
school finished the year with all of the teachers paid!
The church in
Sumpango grew 50%, pastor Marvin and his family worked their first year by
faith and God supplied for them, also God showed his love and care for the
children of Sumpango that can’t afford to go to school, can you imagine been 10
years old and not knowing how to read or write? Breaking Cycles Sumpango
believe that education is the only way out of the cycle! That is why we are
supporting a program that takes place at the church, paying the salary of one
teacher and buying some food for the kids to come and learn at least to read
and write. This was the first year and 21 students came and learned!
The birth of a
much more intentional ministry, named Breaking Cycles Sumpango, that with your
help, prayers, involvement and the power of Jesus Crist, will help Guatemalans
to break cycles of poverty, of sexual abuse, of ignorance, of loneliness, by
bringing hope, support , training and much love.
Partnering with
Next Step Ministries has been a great blessing to us by hosting 7 teams this
summer.
The bad, violence makes the news everyday
in Guatemala, please help us pray for protection, this is the main reason why
we decided not to go or take more teams to Precious Moments.
The crazy, during the year we hosted 11
teams; 9 in 3 months (including one of
90 people!) building with them 7 homes, the front wall of the church, one room
for the principal of the school at the orphanage, leading VBS for 8 weeks in
Sumpango, at the same time that I was taking my finals at University.
The family, we thank God that He has taking
care of our needs and protected us during
this whole year. Miguel turned 6 years old with a Ninja Turtles party! My mother is still waiting for her citizenship
to come to live to Guatemala, and she also had an accident, she broke her ankle
and has to wait now to see what the doctor says about her wanting to come to
Guatemala.
The needs, please pray for safety, energy,
guidance, wisdom, for me as I am leading this ministry of yours, please
continue praying for my mom situation, our safety and financial support.
Please this is
an S.O.S. for the program at the Church, we need to pay the teacher and give a
snack to the kids, please help us to pray for $4,000 for 12 months of teacher
salary, snack for the kids, the legal paperwork and school supplies. This has
to be a miracle because so far we got $100 for this matter.
We need your
prayers, but we also want to hear from you and know how to pray for you, please
send us a note, we are family!
Blessings,
Betty and Miguel
Angel
