From the Field Friday: PE-509

Another Friday another pastor letter. Short and sweet. Let's hear from the pastor at PE-509, which is the project my boy Lenin attends.

Dear Kayla, 

My name is Sigifredo Chumaero Cordova and I am pastor of the Child Development Center Manantial de Esperanza (Spring of Hope) Center where your sponsored child attends. This center is located in Chiclayo, a region of Peru. 



Our deepest gratitude to you for your valuable economic support to Lenin. We can see the results to his comprehensive development. 

Allow me to share with you about the social environment in our region. Today, we are facing problems about anti-values, gang activity, alcoholism, and male chauvinism. Many children are growing up in the midst of all these problems, taking wrong examples for their development. Our male chauvinism culture is the reason why most fathers do not show their love, obtaining children with self-esteem and character problems. 



The development of the center in our community is a great blessing. Parents express their gratitude because they how their children are growing in an environment with values and their behavior is formed through God's word. Our children respect others, care about their homework, and have fun in a healthy way compared to other children in our community. We can also see a change in the parents' behavior towards their children and even towards others. They are not part of a school for parents where they learn moral and spiritual values. 



Regarding our volunteer staff, our church is grateful to God for the achievements we are obtaining in different areas of the ministry. It has helped our staff to be trained every day, pray for children and fast for them. In general, the church has encouraged them and made them realize the importance of children in our church and community. 

We can see very important achievements in the comprehensive development of our children. In the physical area, the health of each of our children has improved considerably. In the social area, children interact better and have a standard of values. In the cognitive area, they have been able to learn many lessons related to their life development. In the spiritual area, they are learning more about God's word every day, in an easy and didactic way, which is changing their behavior some of them have already surrendered their lives to Christ. 



Last year, our ministry received 600 sponsor letters from different places. Through letters, the sponsored children can share about the different activities carried out at the center; such as camps, Vacation Bible School, birthday celebrations, and field trips to recreational centers. In addition, our ministry organizes activities with parents where they learn God's word. It is a time of blessing because it is beautiful to see parents and children praising God and reciting Bible verses. 



We would like to emphasize how important you are to Lenin and the communication you have with him. We understand you are of great value because Lenin is encouraged in every letter you send. Thank you very much for setting aside time to communicate with Lenin. We encourage you to continue doing so because it brings wonderful results. 

Our church is praying for you that God may grant you all the means to continue supporting your sponsored child. We also encourage you to continue praying to God for Lenin, that he may have a personal encounter with God and surrender to Christ. I wish with all my heart that God may bless you. 

Sigifredo Chumacero Cordova
