Meet Victor

Well, it's day 10 of our blitz and we have a long way to go  to make our goal.  We have 40.5 commitments... can we get 59 commitments today?  It seems impossible... but we know that God can do great things.  

We've seen Him do it this week!  

We've seen it in people giving their best gifts.  

We've seen it in the stories we've received of families eating tortillas in honor of our kids in Honduras. (by the way, we'd love to hear more!  Tell us about your Tortilla Tuesday experience HERE)  

We know that God is at work, and pray that He will continue to move today! 

Yesterday we talked about the difference Lifesong Honduras is making.  Today we get to hear a personal testimony of this difference made in one Escalon graduate, Victor Rodas:

The reality is that without your support stories like Victor's... stories like Edgar's and Tania's and Edmund's would cease to exist.  

We have till the end of today.  Can we reach our goal?

What Difference?

It's Tortilla Tuesday! Don't forget to send in your stories and photos to info@lifesongfororphans.org.

What difference does Lifesong Honduras really make in the lives of the 550 students we work with? 

Nutritionally:  Every day students at Lifesong Honduras receive 3 balanced meals.  (Join us today for Tortilla Tuesday!  Confused?  Click HERE)

Educationally: The national average of students in public schools who go on to college in Honduras is around 1%.  At Lifesong Honduras, about 40% of students go on to college! 

Economically:  In a country with a national unemployment rate of 70%, over 70% of Plan Escalon graduates have full-time jobs!

Spiritually:  2011 Vision Team member, Brian Kerz, speaks from what he saw first hand:

Isn't teaching the gospel message really what it's all about?  And after leaving Lifesong Honduras to live on their own, 90% of Escalon graduates still consider themselves Christians and 85% continue to attend church on a regular basis!

Lives are being changed.  Lives can continue to change because of the difference being made by people like you!

Our goal is:

 

We have two days left.  

We need 63 commitments!

Escalon

Happy Monday, everyone!  Well, we are on day 7 of our blitz, with only 3 more days to go!

Today we're going to let Guy Henry, director of Lifesong Honduras, tell a little about Plan Escalon in his own words.

God is working in Honduras!  He is bringing up young men and women through hardship to a place of purpose and hope... and He is using the staff at Lifesong Honduras to do it!

But they can't do it alone.  Will you join us?

Our goal is:

So far we have 31 commitments.

We need 69 more.

That's about 23 commitments a day!

Please join us!  If you can't commit $30 a month, give what you can.  Let's come together to serve these kids in Honduras.  Let's change their lives.  Let's change their nation.

Meet Tania and Andy

Well, it's day 5... and today we're going to meet a girl by the name of Tania plus hear a little bit of perspective from an American who visited Lifesong Honduras this past February.

Tania is in the 10th grade at Escalon.  Lifesong Honduras provides her with a hopeful future that she would not otherwise have.  There’s a similar story woven into the lives of the kids who study at Escalon… It’s a story of renewed hope… a story of opportunity.  But what really excites me is that it is also a story of giving back.  These kids don’t want to just take what they’ve been given and hoard it.  They want to see other lives change the way their lives have.   Because of that this ministry in Honduras is multiplied, becoming truly affective in the nation as a whole.

One of this year's Vision Trip members, Andy, gives his perspective below:

Don't forget about Shoe Saturday tomorrow!  (don't know what this is?  click HERE)

Meet Edgar

Edgar from Lifesong for Orphans on Vimeo.

Edgar is 15 years old and in the 10th grade at Lifesong Honduras.

On June 5th, 2009 his father was shot and killed because he didn't want to sell his property, leaving his mother alone to raise Edgar and his brothers.  

Recently Edgar's family decided to move to another state and wanted him to join them.  However, even though it was hard to watch them leave, he was determined to continue his education at Escalon.  After being there for 3 years, Edgar understands his need for education as a step towards a better life. 

When asked about these major trials he has had to face in his young life, he simply says,

It's just like "Pastor Guy" (Lifesong Honduras director) always says, "we should never give up."

After graduating Edgar wants go on to college, which in itself is a huge accomplishment.  He also desires to use his skills to help people in need and give back as he has been given.

With your support we can continue to serve more kids like Edgar. 

Our goal is:

We have 16.5 commitments.

We need 83.5 more.

Please prayerfully consider joining us as we strive to bring joy and purpose to orphans in Honduras!
