My Story

Hello! I feel so blessed to be part of the feeding program from Living Water and receive a big support. My name is Erick Javier Zelada Apen. My current age is 14 years old. Thank God, my family and I are fine. My mom does her best to provide for our home expenses; she is a domestic employee in our village. My dad is not in my life because he abandoned us, and we know nothing about him.

I am attending 8^th grade this year. Kevin and Javier have been my friends for 5 years, and we enjoy playing football. Fortunately, my mom and I have a good relationship; she takes care of the family very well. My mom teaches us to be humble people. I enjoy going out to play football with my brother; we trust that God watches over us all the time. We do not attend any church; I recognize Jesus is the savior of the world. This time, an evangelism teacher invited us to attend Liberty Church and encouraged us to seek God. We are so thankful for all the support I receive from LW. I would like you to know that my mom, Maria, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. Every kind of blessing!

Kind regards,

Erick Javier Zelada Apen
