His Hands for Guatemala
Our goal is to support and encourage the work of our brothers and sisters in Christ in the country of Guatemala and to support the ministries of their churches, giving special emphasis to helping with the ministries of their school programs. We strive to demonstrate the love of Christ through works of service to these churches as well as to other Christian missions and missionaries in the country of Guatemala as we have opportunity – to be God’s “hands and feet” and His servants to His children in Guatemala.
We have launched our new His Hands for Guatemala website! Please visit us there by clicking on this link - His Hands For Guatemala
Guatemala is still suffering from poverty and violence left over from their bloody civil war which ended in 1996, leaving nearly 300,000 people dead. 56% of the population lives in severe poverty and 50% of the children suffer from chronic malnutrition. Over 7% of Guatemalan children will die before their 5th birthday. Just a little over half the children in Guatemala attend school.
 His Hands for Guatemala has partnered with Pastor Merari Rodriguez of Iglesia Galilea in San Lucas, Sacatepequez to help bring hope to the children of Guatemala through child sponsorship. Working with Pastor Mario Mendez of Magdelena, Pastor Merari and his wife, Lucky, are starting the Fuente de Esperanza (Source of Hope) school program in the small colony of El Membrillal in the mountains of Guatemala.
For a monthly fee of just $35.00 you can sponsor a child in Guatemala and help send one of these beautiful children to school. Your tax deductible donation will cover the cost of all your sponsored child's educational materials, TWO meals each school day plus basic medical care. Sponsors will receive an information sheet with a photo and personal information about the child they are sponsoring including information concerning how to correspond with the child, if they choose to do so.
Would you consider sponsoring a Guatemalan child today?
There are also 4 staff members who need sponsorship to help pay their salaries - 2 teachers, 1 administrator and a cook. The cost of each staff member's sponsorship is $175/month. This would be a great project for a church, small group, Sunday School class or even a business. Your donation is tax deductible and receipts will be issued. If you are interested in sponsoring a teacher or staff member, please contact us.
