“Education is the way out of poverty in El Rosario. I just don’t see any other way.”  George Sisneros, an Ordinary Missionary
Every week we have 80 boys from the local elementary school come to academy. They start showing up at around 12:30 for lunch and then they play soccer for about 30 minutes.
After soccer Rolando teaches the boys from the action Bible. The action Bible is a great way to get boys interested in the stories of Jesus. We have it in the new testament and they love it.
After Bible study, Adalis teaches the boys English. Adalis is a University student from El Rosario. She’s been working with us for almost 5 years and she’s a shining light of what’s possible.
At around 3pm we help the boys with their homework. We read with them, we practice their multiplication tables and honestly, we just show them we care.
Last year was a tsunami in terms of ministry growth. We couldn’t contain the rising, rushing water. Last January we had 22 new 3rd graders who needed sponsors but it just wasn’t a priority. Those boys are now in 4th grade and we have another group of 3rd graders. In total there are 45 boys who need sponsors.
We can’t do this without you.
Sponsorship is $30 a month. Click on the FAQ link for specific questions about what your sponsorship means.
On July 12, 2012 we sold everything we owned and moved to Guatemala as full time missionaries. As soon as we arrived we were led to “Raise boys to be men of God.” The boys academy is the foundation of that work.
We can’t do this without you.
We teach our middle schoolers that it’s not enough to read and study the Bible. “You have to LIVE the Bible.” Stand with us in that truth.
