"I like to work in this community. For me, it's more than a job, it's a calling to service."

I worked for many years in another organization, but I did not have an obligation to God and to my neighbor.

I think working with children is work that is closer to the heart of God.

Compared to the need, our work seems small. Children in our area are suffering a lot. Until now, I never realized the number of cases of abuse and maltreatment of children in the country of Honduras, nor the shortage of organizations working to help the situation. For me, doing this work is a blessing.

I thank all who support us. Without your work and your love, we would not be able to do everything we do for these kids. So many people give more than what they have, and your prayers are a covering of protection over us. We are thankful for your valuable and enormous support.

Needs

We especially need prayer that the children will be healthy, that they will be able to learn well, that everyone involved will be spiritually transformed, for the health of all staff members, that our faith continues to grow, that we would have wisdom in growing the children into good, young men and women, and for God to impress upon the workers here to commit to the work in San Buenaventura.

Personal Objective

My goal is to encourage as many organizations as possible to donate food for this program. This is going to help the children of the institution and many poor families in the area as well. I give thanks to God for keeping me in this institution. There have been many changes in my life and in my way of thinking. I have been able to grow more in the Lord and I have learned to have more faith and to value myself as a person whom God can use. I know God has a purpose for my life.

Brief Testimony

Since I was little, I have attended a Christian church. To belong to a community of faith is an opportunity that God has given me. I am currently working in a Sunday school, and which is an experience that satisfies me, because I feel like I am participating in and contributing to the Kingdom of Heaven. I consider God the central part of my life and my beliefs, and day by day He gives us the opportunity to know His proposition for us.

Brief Testimony

I was born into a Christian home, so since I was very little I had the opportunity to hear and learn the Word of God.

I studied Law in the National University, and God gave me this opportunity of employment at The LAMB Institute. I have had good experiences working with the children. I have seen the need of the people, and I have seen the hand of God work through this ministry.

Open Share

I became a Christian when I was 5 years old. My mother taught me the truths of the Bible. I started serving the Lord when I was 20, working with missionaries, whose Bible school I also attended.

I was called by God to work at The LAMB Institute. My main objective here is to glorify God in everything I do. I want to help volunteers to do their work, and I want to help the children with their needs as well. I see God's hand upon this ministry because it is growing, and reaching out to the needy people in my country of Honduras.

Brief Testimony
I first visited LAMB in February 2006, and quickly felt the Lord calling me to go back. I returned to live in the Children's Home for three months. As many who have visited LAMB would say, I was far more blessed and changed by the people I encountered at LAMB than they could ever be by me. The works I have watched Suzy and the staff accomplish is a powerful witness of God's love, and I am honored that the Lord is allowing me to be a part of this wonderful ministry.
