Dear Friend in Christ,
This year, we’ve seen how God is transforming lives through Agua Viva—like David, a 15-year-old student who’s the first in his family to receive a formal education and now dreams of becoming an engineer; Karla, our science teacher who found new purpose sharing God’s love with her students; and 13 graduates now stepping into their communities with hope and the tools to thrive.
Thank you for your invaluable support of Agua Viva School in 2025. Through your prayers, mission trip visits, and generous gifts, you’ve made tangible changes in the lives of hundreds of students like these—and their families. As we approach the end of the year,

The Lord continues to do a mighty work among our students and teachers at Agua Viva School—not only academically, but spiritually as well. We praise God for blessing our efforts to make disciples of Jesus through education, mentorship, and family strengthening.
Agua Viva’s strong reputation has led to more student applications than we can accept due to limited facilities and resources. We are praying that the Lord will open the doors to serve even more children in the years ahead by providing what is needed.
As the year comes to a close, we are preparing for the growing needs of our ministry. To continue providing quality, Christ-centered education for nearly 325 students, our goal is to raise $150,000.

Would you prayerfully consider making a special year-end gift to support the ministry God is doing through Agua Viva?
Here’s how you can contribute:
Thank you for being such a vital partner in raising up the next generation of Guatemalans who love God, serve others, and are breaking free from the cycle of poverty.
In Christ’s love,
Matt Akers
President, Guatemala Children’s Mission
