June, 2012—In Managua, Nicaragua the Gonzelez family is significantly
impacted by the programs provided by Samaritan’s Purse through
Verbo Sur Church. Five-year old Yuridia Gonzalez has attended
the children’s feeding program, which is helpful as
her parents only earn US$182 per month to support their family of
five.
Yuridia does not have satisfactory medical care, clothing,
schooling or recreation, but her parents know she at least is
receiving the nutrition she needs through the church’s feeding
program.
A good student who can already read, Yuridia recently completed
a 12-lesson discipleship program that introduces children to God’s
love for them. The program workers are thankful that with support
from generous Samaritan’s Purse donors, Yuridia and many other
children like her are able to have their physical and their
spiritual needs met through partners such as Verbo Sur
Church.
Samaritan’s Purse is partnering with Verbo Sur Church to equip
families and share God’s love with neighborhood children. From
Bible Club and Sunday School classes to providing breakfast, dental
care, marriage counseling and spiritual guidance, the church is
impacting its community for Christ by caring for more than 200
children and their parents.
Samaritan's Purse is caring for children who are struggling to survive in the face of poverty, hunger, violence, sickness, and abuse. Globally, our projects are providing children with shelter, food, medical care, education, and most importantly, sharing the hope found in Jesus.
