In May, 2017, the Lord spoke to us about “adopting” a small, very poor public primary school in Divisadero, Jalapa, Guatemala.  We said “Yes” to the call.  In August 2018, the Lord gave us another very poor public school to adopt, this time in Suquinay, a beautiful mountain village.

The ministry is growing!  In October, 2024, we adopted a very small public school in a VERY remote part of El Guaje, a very impoverished mountain village.  And, in April, 2025, the Lord added another public school to our ministry.  This school is a little over an hour from Jalapa, in the underprivileged village of Santa Barbara.

This brings the total number of students being sponsored to approximately 425!

You can help us by “sponsoring” a child for only $15.00 per month.  100% of the money will go directly to buy:

• School supplies (including back packs and grade appropriate work books);
• A new pair of shoes at the beginning of each new school year (February);
• And a new uniform.
• By sponsoring these schools, doors are open for us to go into the schools several times per year to do a Bible based activity with the children and share the Gospel.

Adopting these schools also means minor school building/grounds improvement, as funds are available.  Here are a few examples:

• A brand new, big jungle gym/swing set was provided for the children at the Divisadero School.  They previously had no playground equipment at all. 
• A new roof and 2 new doors were provided for a new classroom in Divisadero.
• A small piece of property was purchased in Suquinay for new classrooms to be built.

All of this is done through the KCI child sponsorship program.
