My Story

Receive special greetings from Celso Israel Benito Calachij. I am so happy to know you are taking the time to read my updated information. I am 14 years old and I have attended the feeding program for many years. My family and I are grateful for the blessings I have received there, such as food and spiritual guidance. All these things have been possible thanks to your generous support, so we pray to God to bless you richly! I tell you that my family and I are healthy. I stopped attending school a while ago, so I dedicate myself to working as a day laborer and helping my parents to clean our house. My mother is a very busy housewife, while my father farms the land to cover the expenses and needs.

I like the hot weather because I enjoy going to a nearby river. At church, I like praising the Lord’s name by means of songs played by the worship band. I would like to learn how to play the drums and serve there someday. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church. One of the things that motivates us to go to church is having a solemn moment of prayer, which is very important. Since we accepted Jesus in our hearts, we are assured of our salvation. Brother Hercules (a member of the evangelism team) recently encouraged us to keep going in our spiritual growth. It is time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray to God to keep us healthy. See you later!

With many blessings,

Celso Israel Benito Calachij
