Mission
Guatemala
Outreach
for Jesus organizes periodic trips to Guatemala.
We feel a social burden for feeding the children of the Lord
and we invite you to join us to bring hope to children who
spend their days in commercial or transient areas, and in
markets at night. At night they sleep by making their beds
in the streets, parks, or passageways.
A preferred
place is the La Place Central, which is half open-air with
a protective roof. To survive, however, they beg and rob.
Many childen prostitute themselves or become drug addicts.
A few work sporadically washing plates, cleaning cars, or
singing in buses. The children help each other, and, if one
does not have anything to eat, their friends share. However,
these children continue to be at high risk; particularly because
of the increasing wave of "social cleansing." The
assassins of street kids are private security forces, ex-policemen,
and ex-military, who desire to rid areas of the blight
of homeless children.
If
you are interested in sharing the love of Jesus with those
in need and would like to travel to Guatemala with Outreach
for Jesus, please contact our office at (606) 451-0807 or
163 Cotter Avenue Somerset, KY 42501. Volunteers are
required to pay for their own travel expenses. If
you are unable to go on the mission trip but would like to
participate in our commitment to Guatemala, 100% of your contribution
to the Guatemala mission will reach the children of the street
and the needy. You may not be able to change the world but
you can certainly make a difference in the life of
a person in need. |
