Dear Friends,
As schools begin classes in the United States, we are nearing the end of the school year in Guatemala (mid-January to mid-October). As we approach final exams and graduations, I wanted to highlight the role of a Christian Education in the transformation of children’s lives, particularly for those served by the various field ministries of NLAI who are looking for a way out of the cycle of extreme poverty.
I believe I’m not overstating it when I say that there exist no greater transformative powers than the truth, love, and wisdom of Jesus Christ, and the knowledge and intellectual development of a quality education. When you donate to New Life Children’s Home, Little Pasos, or Echo Reach ministries, a significant percentage of that donation goes toward the education of children at risk and seeking to escape poverty. Some of those funds go directly toward education (tuition, books, scholarships, teachers’ salaries, etc.), while others go toward funding ministries specifically designed to disciple kids and to keep them in school, off the streets, and out of gangs.
A number of the children at NLCH struggle academically, and they fuss and complain about attending school. But years later, when we speak with former kids and students who are now adults, they are grateful for the opportunity they had to get a quality, Christian education through the ministries of NLAI. Thank you for helping to make that possible through your faithful and generous giving!
Blessings,
Kendon Wheeler,
NLAI President
