Karla Nauni Contreras Galan

My parents and I wish you many blessings. We greet you in the name above all names, Christ Jesus our Lord. You don’t know how much I thank God for giving me a sponsor that helps me in my studies. I will come out ahead in the name of Jesus.
Trust in God that you will not feel bad about my grades. I will try to get good grades and keep on the right path in order to reach salvation with Christ Jesus.
I want to pass along to you that my life belongs to Christ. I ask that you pray for me and my family, that we not faint on the path and that we trust on the rock that is Christ Jesus. I hope that one day we will be able to communicate. I, also, will be praying for you.

Thanks be to God and may Jesus Christ bless you today and always.

Until later. Blessings.

Sincerely,

Karla Nauni Contreras Galán


Nauni is 16 years old. She received very good grades in elementary school. Due to financial hardship she was unable to attend school for the past few years. Because of the scholarship program, she was able to resume her studies at the local high school. She is an active member of the Church of Christ in Barrio Buenos Aires.

April Update '07

On April 21st, Stephanie and I were able to present about our experiences at a Ladies’ Day in Cadillac, MI, the area in which I grew up. It was great to be able to share about something that has had such a profound effect on my life to a group of women, many of which have known me since I was born. Also, the ladies have graciously agreed to hold a yard sale, the proceeds of which will go to the work in Honduras.

Please read about the “student of the month,” Karla Nauni Contreras Galán, a separate new posting.

I’ve been asked to translate some communications to be sent to Honduras. It makes me feel good to still be informed and involved with the work there.

Lord willing, I will return to Trujillo on June 30th. Please pray that the situation with Taca airlines is resolved and a refund or voucher given.

Though I have been very blessed by the way the Lord has taken care of me since my return, I still have many big decisions to make, i.e. housing, grad school, ministry plan. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

As you are spring cleaning, I encourage you to help those in need by donating to your church or any other charity organization (and hey, it helps you clear out your clutter as well!).
