Hello blog readers,

As you know, I have made two trips to Guatemala, most recently this past June with my dad. Due to circumstances I will not go into here, a new ministry has formed to help the same poorest of the poor in Guatemala. It is being spearheaded by Ginny and Kevin Holmes and Randy and Rachel Stauner.

They have some exciting news to share and some ways you can help them. Some of you who’ve been to Guatemala may know Manuel who works with the ministry and his wonderful family. Manuel has officially resigned from The Servant’s Heart and is moving his family into the new home the Holmes/Stauners have rented. Ruth (see below) has also joined them and is hard at work, helping clean the new house and get things ready as this new ministry grows.

They are working on finding sponsors for Manuel’s children, so they can continue with their schooling. His children along with Oscar Tocay’s family are in need of sponsors for school.

This is their immediate need for sponsorships as these children need to start school next week. They will add more kids as they get sponsors, but will not add any more until these are fully sponsored.

Would you be willing to sponsor one or more of these children, or at least pass this information on? 100% of the money coming in will go toward the child’s schooling. No other costs are involved with this. If you cannot commit to sponsoring a child, but would like to make a one-time contribution, that is of course welcome!

Immediate Needs:

*$250 per child for initial registration fees (includes January tuition, books, uniforms and some school supplies)
* 2 sponsors at $30/mo or 1 sponsor at $60/mo per child

If you would like more information, please contact Rachel Holmes Stauner at beachnote@aol.com. She can answer any questions you may have.

Please also keep the Holmes and Stauners and the Guatemalans in your prayers.

Blessings,
Amy
