Military men ... almost out the door


Enrique (left) & Humberto (right), our 2 oldest boys from the boys' restoration home 'El Camino,' have now finished their military service to the nation of Bolivia & are about to graduate high school! It has been a long journey for both of them, they've both been at the home for over 5 years now, & are now getting ready to move on to another phase of life.

Enrique is one of the boys who's blessed & challenged us the most in his time at the home. He is one of the boys that few forget when they meet him. Jesus Christ has done an amazing work of redemption & transformation in his life & he has impacted & helped encourage many a struggling lad at the home over the years. His testimony will blow you away, but unfortunately is a bit long to tell here. Personable, charming, & endearing, visitors to the home have mistaken him for staff on occasion. His heart is to study political science & go into politics - SO HE FOR SURE NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS.

Humberto has always been one of the more quiet boys at the home. He hails from northern Bolivia in the Beni province. Humberto has had to work harder at school than most, but in that has developed a healthy determination that's helped him overcome drugs & many other obstacles in his life. Humberto is not sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life or what he wants to study, so please pray the Lord will guide the direction of his life.
