Alex

Opportunities to help children seem to present themselves to this ministry on a daily basis. There are so many children that need help spiritually, physically, emotionally... We've been wondering where God would lead us in the coming months. How can we best influence these young kids of Guatemala and who needs the most help?

God lead us to Alex.

Alex exemplifies the urgency we feel. He feels it too.

He's a young boy who is of the ideal age of recruiting for gang leaders. It can happen so fast. Alex already has several of the qualifications that these gangs are looking for. An unstable father. A mother who wants the best for her children, but can barely feed them. Free time spent alone or with siblings. He is looking for love. He clings to you whenever you visit.

What can we do? Give thanks to God for bringing Alex to us just at the right time.
