WHAT WILL THEIR FUTURE BE?

Javier, Julio and Esteban
 These three children are exceptional. They are bright and active, loving and respectful. What will their future be in their country of Mexico?

Julio, the oldest at 14, quit school because he didn't have decent shoes and because the family couldn't afford his school uniform. Esteban, now 5, is in kindergarten and is an outstanding soccer player. He won the first place trophy last fall for his school. Javier who is only 3, wants very much to go wherever his brothers go.

What do little boys do when they quit school? They roam the streets looking for the occasional task that will pay them a little money to help out at home. They hang out with other idle youth. And they are vulnerable targets for dishonorable groups.

We visit this family regularly and are praying for their future. Rather than going into a life of crime, we want to see them become good husbands, fathers and workers. We want them to accept Jesus into their hearts and live for Him.

Please join us in prayer for these three little boys and all the other boys and girls in Mexico, specifically that they can stay in school and that they will follow the Lord and His ways.
