My Story

Hello! My full name is Julio Cesar Ruiz Ajqui and I am blessed to tell you that my mother also attended the Feeding Program when she was a child. She remembers the Bible classes and the soccer championships in that time, and she enrolled me one year ago due to her personal experience. I like to attend the Bible classes because I learn Bible stories.

I live with my parents at home, but my paternal grandparents, uncles and cousins also live in the house and share the expenses with my parents. My mother is a housewife and she raises and sells her hens. Moreover, she is a weaver and she contributes to the home expenses. My father is a farmer and day laborer. In addition, he travels to the coast to pick coffee beans from November to February to earn extra money to sustain us. I help my mother to feed the hens, and I love cold weather because I like to drink hot coffee during cold days. I am 11 years old, and thankfully, I am in 2^nd grade this year.

My family and I attend the Church of Christ and we enjoy the visit from our leaders because they encourage us to continue following God. I like to listen to the sermons at church. My mother shared this information to the LW teacher, and she was encouraged to continue trusting God.  We are secure in our salvation because we already have received Jesus in our hearts and have a place in heaven. My mother would like to ask for your prayers for health for our family. Thank you for your support and love. Blessings to you!

Warm wishes,

Julio Cesar Ruiz Ajqui
