This is your love in action

Your sponsorship over the past year has been a practical, tangible expression of God’s love. Thank you! Day in and day out, you’ve helped hardworking families and communities to nourish their children physically, emotionally, and spiritually, so they can build the future God intends for them.

Children growing and learning

Children are learning everything from math to physical education, equipping them to achieve all of their dreams!

Families earning an income

Farm projects are opening doors for families to learn new skills and grow their families’ income.

Communities leading lasting change

Where poverty and violence threaten children’s futures, you’re helping families and communities to change the systems holding them back and look to the future with hope. Thank you!

Please join us in prayer

Heavenly Father, we praise you for the way children in Guatemala are learning and growing healthy. Thank you for the education, sports supplies, and farm projects that help families thrive and help children reach their God-given potential.

Lord, we pray for education to help children and families in Guatemala overcome malnutrition. Please open doors for more resources for families to keep their children healthy and strong.

Thank you for using us in this journey. You have amazing plans and a purpose for every girl and boy in Guatemala. We pray for their lives and futures. And we pray they continue to feel your overflowing love through us.

Amen.
