Children

Help with the Children’s Development Center by playing games with the kids, leading songs, helping with homework, telling Bible stories, teaching English, walking the kids to and from the Center. Some groups have conducted a weeklong VBS or worked on a construction project in the neighborhood where the children live.

​

Churches or individuals can also sponsor children at $60 per month. The money is used to provide meals and materials for the children, plus an occasional field trip out of the city.

Students

Help with the ministry to university students by preparing lunches for the students, eating lunch with them, and playing games with them after lunch. Groups can also attend classes with students who are learning English and be conversation partners for these students. In addition, Carlos and Ana are very good at coming up with creative ways of meeting students and sharing the Gospel with them.

​

Churches or individuals can also make financial donations to purchase lunches for university students.
