A note from Donna<br />

We are so excited to roll out the school sponsorship<br />

program in order to sustain and grow our DESEO<br />

ministry in <strong>2016</strong>. The goal of this program is not only<br />

to provide financial stability to this effective ministry,<br />

but also to connect individuals from the US to children,<br />

families, and communities to build lasting hope-filled<br />

relationships. It may be hard for some to believe just<br />

how much it would mean to a Honduran child to have a<br />

personal connection with a N. American, but we know<br />

from our many interactions with them over the years<br />

that this impacts the children, as well as the adults in<br />

a positive way. Just the thought that a family in the US<br />

would care enough about their school to participate in<br />

sponsoring the ongoing efforts of DESEO is encouraging.<br />

It goes without saying that there are many benefits<br />

to the sponsoring families, not the least of which is<br />

the knowledge that one’s financial contribution may<br />

change the course of a life, or many lives. We would<br />

love to tell you<br />

more about this<br />

opportunity!<br />

Please pray<br />

as we seek<br />

families that<br />

not only want<br />

to participate<br />

financially but<br />

who also want<br />

to get personally<br />

involved in<br />

changing lives!<br />
