My Story

Hello! How are you? This is Julian Armando, and I am doing well. I am 14 years old, and for 9 years, I have been attending the feeding program. I like the Bible classes because we take time to pray to God. My mom was part of the program when she was a child, and she registered me at the program because she likes that it is a place where God’s Word is always shared with the children. She remembers the lunches she received there. I tell you that I am studying, and I am in 7^th grade this year. In my free time, I look after our hens. I love cold days because I can wear my sweaters.

I take part in my church’s youth activities, and I like it. My family and I are members of a Pentecostal Church called Prince of Peace, and we are like a family in Christ. I have Jesus in my heart, so I am secure I will enter His Kingdom someday. My father is living and working in the United States, and he faithfully sends us money every month. He works in a vegetable farm, and he calls us by phone on weekends; he is in good health. My mom works as a day laborer two or three days per week to improve the home income. She suffers from uric acid and is taking medicine for it. Please keep her in your prayers. I close my letter wishing you the best. 

With much love

Julian Armando Garcia Barrera
