Mardin's Testimony
My father was a youth pastor in my hometown. My mother supported my father unconditionally. She could sing beautifully. My mother died in 2005 when I was five years old. For this reason, my dad turned away from the Lord. It was such a hard experience. After she died, my father started working with coca leaves and became a drug dealer. I left home and became a street boy. I began to try alcohol with my friends. I had no control of anything in my life including myself. I entered a home for abandoned boys. I had a very unpleasant childhood. I did not understand
why my mother died and why my dad turned to drugs. The days were dark, and my heart was filled with pain and anguish. Many years passed and I could not overcome my mother’s death. I had to seek God to find joy in my heart. Now I can understand that in Christ I am secure, and He has control of our lives. Now I can see that maybe my mother was taken away for a purpose. Maybe she was taken away so that I could exalt God’s name. In spite of everything, I will go on to accomplish my goals. I will be a psychologist and a great singer. I am currently in high school but will soon move on to college. I serve in Divine Grace Evangelical Christian Church in the praise ministry. I will never stop worshipping my savior. I thank God that my dad is no longer involved in the work he was before as a drug dealer. I am happy to be in the home for college-aged boys in Iquitos. I am growing in God’s grace and with His help, I can achieve my goals.
Project J2:5 Construction Update
President & Founder, Titus Bowen, recently returned from Peru after checking in on construction of our house modifications to make the existing house on our property livable for the boys of Casa de Reyes. Once this first phase of construction is complete, we will have the ability to house 24 boys! We've begun to finalize construction and are ready to begin furnishing the house. If the Lord leads you to give in this way, please click here. We are so grateful for the generous donors who are making it possible to reach even more young men in Peru!

A Minute With Missionary Mac
- We have sold about 800 meat chickens.
- Our first growing season is in full swing, so we are selling many plantains and papayas.
- Our egg laying chickens are getting big and soon will start laying eggs that we can profit from.
- I planted about 2,000 corn seeds recently in hopes we can use that to feed chickens, feed the boys in our home, and have some to sell.
