BEGINS WITH A SPARK

Transforming Generations

We are changing futures through Christian discipleship, education, and nutrition.

Many children in Guatemala begin working in the streets as soon as they can walk. These young people are often exposed to illicit drugs and are recruited by gangs starting at age 10. We aim to rescue children and teenagers, and we trust God to change their future. How do we do it? We use quality education and wholesome nutrition as a pathway to introduce our students to God’s love and the special plan He has for each of them.

We dream big, but we can’t do it alone. Keep reading to find out how you can help.
