My Story

Hello, I am so glad to greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are doing great! My name is Abel Armando Cruz Grave. I am 9 years old. This year I am repeating second grade, and my classes are on the morning shift. At home, I help with some chores. My father does farm work, and he also goes to work on the coast from November to February. Thankfully, he is able to provide for the family. Meanwhile, my mother takes care of the housework and looks after my siblings and me. We raise hens, pigs and cows for selling, and we grow corn for our livelihood.

I love the Christmas activity that evangelism teachers organized in the feeding program because I receive a gift at the end of the activity. I thank God for blessing me with food and medical care through Living Water. My favorite meal from the program is hamburger patties. My parents have welcomed Jesus into their hearts and we are members of the Prince of Peace Church; we trust our salvation in God. We are quite well, but I want to ask for your prayers for my family, especially for my father who is working away from home. To end my letter, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. Sending much love. I pray God blesses you wherever you go!

Lots of love,

Abel Armando Cruz Grave
