2020

It's been a rough year for most people in Central America. One emergency after another has pretty much devastated many families.  We are now having hurricanes hitting back to back. Unbelievable rainfall and high winds have destroyed homes and, in some places, just about everything has been lost in the swift current waters.

 

If you would like to be a part of helping these people, please give here on our website or send your donations to Vida Ministries, P.O. Box 6268, Kokomo, In. 46901 and designate your giving to our Relief Fund.

 

We appreciate all the small and large ways you help. Hundreds are being born again and healed as the love of God reaches out through the churches to touch them. Life gets really serious when you lose everything.

CHILdren reaching children

Most Children here have lost one year of schooling. They offer some school over the phone, but it costs $20.00 per child and most people here just cannot afford that.


Our churches are just now allowing Sunday schools to meet. In our first meeting we had 50 children attend. They are so sweet. When I asked if they had any needs, one said, "we have color pencils but nothing to color." I'm now making up color pages for them.

 

The teenagers have been meeting in the youth pastor's home, so they are really growing through all of this.


We have a lot of new believers in church and Sunday School classes.

  • For the pastors here, especially Pastor Luis Barcorizo and Pastor Armando Barcorizo
  • For Sambu, where a whole village was flooded and lost everything
  • For all of the groups scheduled next year
