My Story

Hello! My name is Jose Maria. I am 17 years old. I dropped out of school some years ago. Currently, I work as a day laborer and farmer to help my family with the expenses. My father works as a farmer and day laborer and is responsible for providing for our family. My mother is a housewife.

Fortunately, during this pandemic situation, we have had work, and with God´s help, we have the necessities at home. We appreciate the grocery bags that Living Water/ Adopt A Child has been giving us. The help was really useful for my family and we appreciate it so much. We pray that our Lord blesses you and protects you wherever you go for your love toward us. Thanks to God´s faithfulness, my family and I are healthy, and covid-19 has not affected us so far. We are not attending any church, but LW staff encouraged us to look for a church. I want to let you know that an evangelism teacher of LW called me by phone to get this updated information since the feeding program is still closed due to the pandemic. I say goodbye to you for now. Many blessings!

In Jesus name,

Jose Maria Calachij Benito
