are they staying or not?

Education for the 3 orphans for 2017 is  looking great, we have the school, is a private Christian School, where Ignacion, Heidy and Mishell will have a devotional every day, good and caring teachers.

And as I got the permition to share their stories here they are:

Heidy, 15 years old, great students, she just finished 6^th grade because when she came to the orphanage she was 9 and never attended school in her life before.

Mishell is 13, accepted the Lord last summer with the pastor of a team that came to share the gospel with her! 

Ignacio does not have any family, he is a very good kid, but he is a slow learner that is why we need to pray extra for him.

We need to raise lots of money for them!

If you can please pray about that, we want to offer them to stay, the nuns are worried about them, I am too but I can't promise them anything if  I do not have the money by the 3 weeks from now.

after summer stuff!

God has been good to us, after a summer full of blessings we are in the process of following up with all the ministry that were able to do during the summer.

Some fun facts are that the orphanage got its garbage dump, the stored room finished, the children at the orphanage really enjoyed the teams that came, Mishell the girl that got burned in the accident at the kitchen is doing so much better thank God!  If you came to Guatemala and want to know how is ¨-------¨doing, let me know, I can get back to you about each child.

About the 4 kids that have to leave the orphanage because the nuns can not provide more education to them, 3 of them decided to stay at the orphanage, one girl is going to go to live with her relatives. When we accepted to help these kids to go to school, we thought it was going to be about $1,000 per kid, when we went to school, and added all the other expenses, turned out to be $200 per month per kid.

We have raised $400.00 from the $6,000 that we need for Heidy, Mishell and Ignacio (Nacho) this 6,000 will cover school, uniform, books and transportation for them for one year. Please consider help these kids, this is the only chance they might have to continue their education, please consider been part of their life by praying for them, financially help them and come to visit! Please let me now soon if you want to help, we need to know if we can provide this help to them by October, if not we will have to send them to relatives home and will not continue education.

Church, it is doing great, the group of children that come to learn how to read and write are encouraged, loved and eager to continue learning. We praise God because God provided to run the program during 2016. The school year is ending and we are hopping and praying for the year to follow. We praise God for the provision to finish the upper room for the children; they will have their own devotional now!

I am doing good after a really busy summer, I am taking my 10^th semester to become a psychologist, this is going to me my last semester, and I can´t wait to get to the end of the semester!  Miguel is finishing kindergarten and we are very excited, please pray for us, we are going to try to get his USA VISA in October 3^rd at 9:30 am, he is so excited and if he does not get it he and I will be very sad! Please keep us in your prayers.

We praise the Lord for the opportunity to serve Him at the orphanage, at  the church and the community around us, God has bless us by making a small ministry an on going growing ministry and dream! It is called Breaking Cycles, it has grown so much that it needs a secretary, a social worker and an office, and even though Betty and Miguel have been supported by great friends and family, we can not pay for all this, it means another $2,500 monthly support needed, but it will really help us to serve better the community of Sumpango, could you please consider start donating towards this ministry?

If you want to help financially to any of the following needs please let me know,
