We are half way to our goal!
Now, we're setting our sights on the next milestone: raising the next $20,000 by the end of 2024. These funds will be used to acquire the facilities, classrooms for the children, church space, etc, to provide the community with a safe and inspiring space to learn and grow.
Our hearts are set on Angel's hometown, Cartago, Colombia, where the essence of our mission will truly shine. In this vibrant community, we are poised to spread the message of Christ and expand the kingdom of God through the impactful endeavors of Mission Life.
Cartago has long suffered from the detrimental effects of drug violence, poverty, and moral decay. The community faces pressing challenges, including rampant drug use, prostitution, gang involvement, and the erosion of family values. Socioeconomic hardships are severe, with widespread poverty, violence, theft, murder, drug dealing, teenage pregnancy, school dropout rates, and a loss of moral and spiritual values. Children living in this community lack access to quality education, positive social environments, and spiritual guidance. They are vulnerable to gangs, drug addiction, and exploitation, with few opportunities for education or safe recreational spaces. These dire conditions perpetuate cycles of poverty, crime, and community disintegration, entrenching families in socioeconomic hardship and despair.
We are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request to partnership with us to make this vision a reality. By contributing to our campaign, you'll directly contribute to constructing a child development center in Cartago.
Our goal is to build a safe space that will provide children in this community with food, mentoring, ethical training, skill-building activities, and hope for a brighter future.
Picture this: Daily meals are served with love, nourishing their bodies and spirits. After-school activities that ignite their passions and unlock hidden talents. Academic support that empowers them to dream big and reach for the stars, and devotional time that nurtures their faith and connection with God. They'll walk a path of love, compassion, and righteousness guided by Christian values and principles.
Imagine the resonance of worship filling the air as young hearts sing praises and find solace in the presence of the Divine. They'll delve deep into scripture, discovering the wisdom and grace embedded within its verses. And perhaps most profoundly, they'll embark on a journey to uncover their unique mission and purpose in God's grand plan.
But there's more – the Soccer Life School, a field of dreams where young athletes will hone their skills, discipline, and teamwork. They'll learn that faith extends beyond the church walls and onto the soccer pitch, where resilience and unity take root.
We invite you to participate in this magnificent journey that radiates hope, promise, and transformation. Join us as we build a haven where children are nurtured, inspired, and equipped to thrive. Your support is not just an investment in bricks and mortar; it's an investment in the future of these precious souls.
We are looking to rebuild this abandoned church, so that the children can start attending the program. Here is how the building looks like.
