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. |
