We have been so humbled to serve families living in the local city dump. Every day the families take turns digging thru the new trash looking for anything of value or recyclable plastic they can trade for pennies. We are blessed to share hope thru the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Pictured is Ruth, she is a mentally challenged 22 year old. Her Dad Bonafacio has raised her by himself since birth. Her birth mother abandoned her after learning Ruth was developmentally slow. Bonafacio accepted Christ as his personal Savior through our street visitation program. He cannot read or write but carries a new Bible in his work vest every where he goes. He works 7 days a week as a mule at our local open air market beginning at 3am every day. Your support allows Ruth to go daily to a vocational school for the mentally challenged in Arequipa. She learns basic life skills such as cooking, sewing, leather work and grooming skills.
Bonafacio always worries what will happen to Ruth when he goes to Heaven. He always tells Maisie and Sandro that he wants them to raise Ruth. Bonafacio doesn’t understand why Ruth hasn’t developed or grown out of her retardation. His is a very loving father and cherishes his daughter but does not have the understanding of her condition. Your support allows us to love her, one day God may have a greater need for Ruth in our family!
