You can make a world of difference in a child’s life!
Genesis Adriana

Genesis? parents did not finish school, but they can read and write, Genesis? father is the only one who works as taxi driver in order to support his family, his income is low and not stable because it depends of how many trips he gets to do in a day and Genesis? mother is a housewife. Genesis and her parents attend to church Eben Ezer; her mother is youth group?s directive?s secretary. Genesis? parents have a loan in a bank, they are paying in quotas of $.100.00 monthly they used this money to repair their house. Genesis and her parents live in their own house built with block walls, tin roof and cement floor, they do not have a bathroom, they count with water and electricity services and they use wood to cook their food when they cannot buy propane gas. nThank you for choosing to offer this young girl hope for the future and for touching her life for Christ n
Guatemala
Guatemala is an incredibly diverse country with 23 different language groups. Climate conditions can range from steamy hot coastal weather to frigid cold mountain weather where temperatures regularly drop below the freezing mark. Like many Latin American countries, it is also a country marked by violence and poverty. The presence of ruthless drug cartels has led to extortion, corruption, kidnapping, and many violent deaths in this country. Word & Deed partners with AMG Guatemala to help facilitate Christian education for hundreds of children in Guatemala. We also partner with them in the operation of a rural hospital.
“We can only say thanks, because without a doubt, the Family Protection Team arrived at the right time. We felt listened to, understood, and above all we were able to recognize that God is the basis of our home. With Him restoration becomes complete and we can be a happy family.”
“Praise God for what He is doing to expand Christian education and the opportunity to witness for Christ among the Muslims in Indonesia. We pray that He will continue to use us as a tool to bring more people to Christ and to grow his church in this nation.”
It has been a great joy to feel the Lord’s presence at work and in the lives of the children we serve. Your prayers and support have been our strength and encouragement.
“In school, I have been taught the Word of God, which is very important to my life and that of my family. I feel happy because the teachers at La Palabra treat me very well.”
“Word & Deed took the initiative to work out a very important project that would place theology books in the hands of pastors across Latin America… I wish to congratulate Word & Deed for their sensitivity to such fundamental needs in the church of Latin America. Good theology will produce healthy churches. We need to always work on the foundations. On behalf of CLIR, we look forward to continued cooperation in the future.”
Dear friends at Word & Deed, I want to thank you for all your love and kindness. Thank you for allowing me to attend the after-school program. Because I go there, I can learn about the Lord. I have learned to trust him, to have faith in his promises, and that he will never leave me alone. Blessings!
