This is a beautiful day to say hello to you hoping you and your family are doing well and blessed by our Lord Jesus. I hope that you enjoy reading my updated information for 2024 because I want to share with you some news about my family and me through this. First of all, I want to let you know that my family and I are grateful for every benefit that I receive from LW Ministries because it has been a great blessing for us.  

This is Francisco Franco Poncio and I am 17 years old. I am a healthy boy, but I am suffering from anemia. I visited the doctor, and I am taking medicines. LW teacher referred me with LW doctor, and I will visit him for a checkup. I continue working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support my family. I spend my weekend searching for grass for the cows and gathering firewood.  LW Ministries has blessed my family and my life through the delicious meals for lunch that they serve in the Feeding Center. I like to eat the fried chicken in that place. In addition, I have been blessed with medicines in the medical clinic. I enjoyed receiving the special gift and tasty lunch during the Christmas celebration there in December. 

As you know, we are not attending any church. LW teachers shared the gospel with my mother, and she is grateful for the advice. My mother`s name is Margarita Poncio Mucia. She lives with the family, and she is in good health. She is a housewife, and she continues raising hens, goats and cows to sell and get some income for help my father with home expenses because my father is not working.  He had a surgery from a stomach ulcer, and he is recovering. Right now, my mother is the only one that supports us financially. We grow corn and black beans for our family consumption. My father`s name is Tomas Franco Ajqui. He lives with us and he stays at home recovering from the surgery. I would like to ask for your prayers for his health. I hope you like my letter. I send you all my love!

Lots of love, 

Francisco Franco Poncio
