Groups helping us to start the Year

It is very nice to start the year with groups that are coming to fellowship with all of us at the children´s home and the rehab centre. We were very happy to have Willy´s group and to see again the guys: Tom, Bob, Dan and Paul. There is alway a proyect for them and this time they started building a room for the Sunday School at the rehab center.  It is really a blessing to make a proyect with a lot of love and also to have time at the church, rehab center and children´s home to fellowship.

We also had a group from Canada five girls that were at the children´s home sharing with the children but also helping with different proyects such as painting the pick-nick tables and benches and also fixing a little storage.   We thank God for the people that has a heart for him and also for the misions. 

Holidays´s Activities

Volcano



Baking cupcakes



The children really enjoy their vactions because they had the opportunity to do a lot of things. The children that are 12 and up went to the volcano for two days and they really enjoy that experience, while they were there the little ones and the girls stayed at home but we all enjoyed baking cupcakes and watching movies. The first week of December they went to a camp, it was a really nice place with swimming pools and a river and they loved it. The same week we all decorated the Christmas tree with Morales family they brught an special food and cookies to celebrate that we were starting with the holidays.

Camp



 The children went to the elderly home to celebrate Christmas and it was really good to see them making the old people to be happy with the gifts, food and Jesus´s Birth drama. They also went to the rehab center to give the men a candy bags,sanwiches and they also made the drama.

It was really good the Christmas Eve service that we had at church with the brothers and sisters that attend the church, it was really nice to be all together worshipping the Lord and eating tamales and ponche that is the typical food for Christmas in Guatamala.  After the service the children went home to open their presents that is the most exciting for them.

Christmas presents



The 25th they had a special turkey dinner, mash patatoes, salads and desserts. it was really a great time for all of them and also for the staff and the friends that came to fellowship with us.

We really thank God for everything that he provided for the children and also for the men at the two rehab centers.

Four boys finished Elementary School

Silvestre is very happy at hisgraduation

Angel very handsome at his graduation

Seven years of elementary school went very fast and it is really great to see four of our children ready to start next year High School. It was not easy for all of them to get here because some of them came without any education but we can see how faithful is our Lord.

Dinner at a fancy restuarant to celebrate their graduation

The boys were very happy to go to a fancy restaurant to celebrate their graduation, but for them the most  important thing was that they  celebrate as a family and share this moment with the people that is working and taking care of them every day.

Denis looks really happy

Engler and his teacher

Silvestre, Denis, Angel, and Engler are going to face a different stage next year because some of them are going to attend a new school and we know that this will bring new challenges for them. We pray that God will guide them and help them to continue going further.

Rehab Center in Nicaragua

They were waiting for lunch

Betty and the kitchen staff

We are very happy because the Lord is changing many hearts in Nicaragua. The ministry started in September 2006 and  we can see how faithful is the Lord because the ministry is growing every day. We have a couple from Guatemala working there to develope the center and also we have six men from Nicaragua running the center, they enter into the program and after that they decided to stay to be part of the staff. I think the Lord is calling some of them to continue with this vision, and we pray that more men can know our Lord Jesus.
