Luis Daniel Yac Ticuru

Looking for a way for your family to give back?  Consider sponsoring Luis Daniel Yac Ticuru.

In 2005 a group of students on our Jr. High mission team helped us begin sponsoring Luis (who we’ve affectionately referred to as Yac) through Compassion International.  He was 5 when we first began sponsoring him but now he’s almost 12.  He’s living in Guatemala and going to one of the Compassion International schools there thanks to the offering our students give each week.

Over the last year or two many of our students have made Elevate commitments along with the rest of our church body and have increased their level of giving.  It’s exciting to see so many of our students with offering envelopes each week just like the adults in our congregation.  However, as we’ve partnered with the church body in our Elevate emphasis, it has been more difficult to keep up both of our child sponsorships (we also sponsor a girl named MaryAnn from Kenya).

At this point I don’t think it’ll be possible for our ministry to continue to sponsor Luis.  That is where you come in.  I’d love to avoid dropping the sponsorship completely and instead to pass his sponsorship on to a caring student or family who’d like to help send him to school.  His monthly $38 sponsorship sends him to school and provides some meals and clothing that he wouldn’t otherwise have.  If your family would be interested in investing in the life of Luis and taking over his sponsorship, please let me know.  I can show you some of the letters he’s written us and get you more info so you can make a decision.

UPDATE: A sponsor has been found!  A great family from West Side is going to take over Luis’ sponsorship.  Please continue to pray from Luis as he grows into a great young man who loves God!
