Today we traveled to Esquintla to visit Maná de Vida- Bread of Life- school. We were greeted with banners and singing children. There was an assembly in which all of the students and teachers prayed for us and thanked us and our school for our support. We visited classes and were humbled and encouraged to see the teachers implementing things we had shared with them at the conference. The contrast between this new facility and the former cement block building in the inner city was huge. God provided a spacious, plant-filled, airy new facility that even includes an outdoor pool. We had the opportunity to spend time with Jessica Tsorin, the principal, and hear about her vision for the school and its impact on the community. We heard about so many miracles today. For example, Jessica struggled last year to have enough money to cover the cost of food for the students' breakfast and lunch. Already this school year God has provided more than what they needed and the middle school students distributed the extra food to those in need in their community! Jessica said, "Every day we see the hands of God and our lives are transformed. We want to thank our supporters." We stand in awe of Him and what He is doing in Maná de Vida!
