My Story

Good morning! I am so happy to greet you today and share a little bit of my information with you. My name is Manuel de la Cruz Garcia. I am 11 years old. My family and I do not attend any church since my mother had personal problems. We are very grateful for the encouraging words that one of the evangelism teachers gave us during the visit. He invited us to reconcile and look for a church to attend; we are going to think about it. Please pray for us so we can return to church soon. My mother struggles daily to provide for our needs. She does the housework and goes to work as a day laborer and farmer in our village. I thank God for blessing my family and me with good health.

I got so happy when I knew that I passed my grade last year because I was repeating; I gave many thanks to God for His help throughout the school year. I am now in second grade this year. Israel has been my friend since childhood and we like to do homework and play football. I get on very well with one maternal uncle; he is a farmer and I go to help him and learn how to farm the land. Jesus is my faithful friend and my savior. This time, my mother, Juana, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Thank you for stopping and reading my story. May God bless you wherever you are!

Lots of love,

Manuel de la Cruz Garcia
