We feel like the Lord is leading us to devote more time in Zona Norte to help children like Maria find resources for education and nutrition. We now have a new community center which has been established to be a resource to children who need education and nutrition support. We also are networking with the local shelters, children’s homes, civil associations, government agencies and ministries to extend resources to these kids. Please pray for us that the Lord would continue to guide, protect and open doors as we become a key development resource to the people in Zona Norte.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2283″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space 0=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
