Thank You!

Dear Friend in Christ,

As January comes to a close, our hearts are full of gratitude. More than 320 children and young people have already filled our classrooms—arriving with bright smiles, big dreams, and eager hearts ready to learn. We give thanks to God for each of them, and especially for you and your faithful support during our Year-End Giving season.

Because of your generosity, $119,262 was raised, allowing us to begin this new school year with hope and stability. For the first time in several years, we were able to start the year without drawing from our reserves or reducing any of our programs. This is a meaningful milestone for Agua Viva—and a clear answer to prayer. It also positions us to continue expanding the school’s footprint and to minister to even more children and families who are in desperate need of hope, education, and the love of Christ.

Behind every number in our annual budget are real families, real stories, and lives being shaped through the ministry of this school. We invite you to watch a short video and meet the Roquel family, whose story reflects the journey of hundreds of families in our community. Through your support, the hope of Jesus is being shared in tangible and life-changing ways across Guatemala.

Thank you for walking alongside us and making this mission possible.

With gratitude, in Christ,

Matt Akers
President, Guatemala Children’s Mission.
