VALERY
At the church in Piedras Azules, Valery
was very excited to receive a new pair of
shoes.
When our group from Faith visited Guatemala in 2016, we met Rubita
(center) and some of her children, including Oliver (wearing a red hat
above). He was just a baby at the time and he was in very poor
health. The team prayed for his health and that the family would feel
“Most of the kids came
the support of the Church community in Piedras Azules since they had with old shoes, or with no
just moved there. We are glad to hear that since we were there, Oliver’s
health has Improved significantly, they have walls on their house (it was

just poles and a roof when we visited), and they regularly attend the home with new shoes.
Church services and events. All of Rubita’s children received a much
needed pair of shoes.

understands first hand what a new pair of socks and
shoes can mean for these children. As a boy, he was given
a pair of shoes to replace a badly worn pair of rubber

makes sure that every child who receives theses gifts
understands that God loves them and they are valuable as
children of God.
