This is the last letter in my series of pastor letters. I am completely caught up, for now anyway. This letter is not as long as most pastor letters are, but it's still nice to read.

Dear Sponsor,
My name is Raul Alberto Garcia. I am the pastor of the church that ministers to 215 boys and girls assisted by the Compassion Child Sponsorship Program. Our church ministers to your Compassion-sponsored child at the "Mi Esperanza" Child Development Center. We are grateful for your generous support for your sponsored child.
Your help allows our church to develop activities for the boys and girls that creates spiritual support, teaching them how to have a personal encounter with Jesus and forms them to be faithful Christians, of good testimony so they may also teach others the way of salvation.
Also, in the physical area we are supporting them with orientations for the parents and mothers about hygiene and health in order to diminish the rate of child deaths in our country. We are also giving them snacks every day, helping the nutrition of the boys and girls. We are also giving them school supplies that give them motivation to go to the schools to finish their education.
In the social-emotional area we are helping by celebrating their birthdays and giving motivation to each one. This program is hope to many children from the sad way of living many of them experience.
Please pray for us here, in the center, while we work for these children to help them know Jesus and so they may be healthier and better educated. Sometimes the work is very hard, but we love to serve them.
Thank you for being a support to us in the ministry through your care for your sponsored child.
God bless you.
Raul Alberto Garcia
Pastor

I'm so glad you posted these! You reminded me that I could look for pastor's letters for our new correspondence kids! We received one correspondent kid a few weeks ago and then last week we received another little guy in place of our teen who's sponsor ceased sponsoring him. I think I'll head over to OC now to look for the letters!
