Samaritan Project

 Our Samaritan Project has been a wonderful testimony of how to teach our local churches about the importance of reaching out to those in need in their communities. The culture here is a “hand to mouth” and everyone is looking for the way to just survive. This culture does not, by nature, volunteer their time or talents to reach out to others. We have a donor who provides the materials to provide a tin roof for those who are in need of better housing. His only requirement was that the church people provide free labor and asked me if I thought this would work in Guatemala. I am happy to say that it does. Our churches have learned the joy in giving to others and in working side by side with others in their church to form deeper relationship and great fellowship. So many testimonies have come out of the candidates that have been selected to reach out to. The churches reach out to Christians and non-Christians alike with no bias on their choice of church or other criteria. We have seen people’s reaction to being shown the Christ like love and how it affects them and hope to be able to keep doing this outreach.

Samaritan Project Update for December 2022

We were able to do our normal 2 Samaritan Projects this month.

SAMARITAN PROJECT UPDATE FOR LA PUENTE

Rosa Mendez Escalante is 61 years old and married. Both she and her husband do agricultural field work to support themselves and earn a combined income of about $45 a month. Their house was in very poor condition and the church chose them to be a recipient of the Samaritan Project. Her comments “I am so thankful for being chosen to receive this assistance. We have never received help like this from someone before. May God bless the pastor and also Servant Ministries for what you have done.”

SAMARITAN PROJECT UPDATE FOR AGUA ZARCA

Adriana Ramirez Gutierrez is 65 years old and has been a widow for several years. She sells vegetables in the market and earns about $30 a month to support herself. Her home was in poor condition and she did not have the resources to change that. May God bless Sister Nancy for all that she does to help the poor and may He also bless the person who made the donation to make this possible.”

SAMARITAN PROJECT UPDATE FOR TUNUCO

Maria Santos Suchite is 64 years old and has been a widow for 27 years. She has lived with her daughter for years due to her house being totally dilapidated. She does field work and earns about $30 a month to help with her support. Her comments “May God bless in a very special way those who have given me the opportunity to live under my own roof once again. I had my little piece of property but was unable to build a place that was livable for me. May God bless everyone involved for your heart to serve your neighbor.”
