Meet Jeygler
Jeygler is one of the men of Casa de Reyes.
He loves soccer and helping with the praise ministry at church.
Here is his testimony:
I am Jeygler. My family is from extreme poverty. When I lived with my parents at home, I was a very poor student. I was disobedient to my parents, and they always punished me for my bad attitude. Ever since I was a kid, I loved soccer. I wanted to play soccer constantly instead of focusing on school. My parents did not approve. Over time, I began to to be more disobedient to my parents. One day I was alone at home. I went to a small store where my dad worked. Gasoline was kept there. Out of curiosity, I smelled it. I kept smelling it and got dizzy. I liked that feeling. From then on, whenever I was alone, I went to sniff the gas. It consumed me. Later I arrived at a home for abandoned boys on April 23, 2012 at the age of eleven. I felt very strange. There were many people around me, but I felt alone. There they told me a lot about Jesus Christ. They told me he died for me. I did not understand that, because I had never heard of such love. Now I am very grateful to God because He spoke to me. I understand His love. I am grateful for this home that welcomed me with such love. Above all, I am thankful my Savior got me out of the world I was living in. I do not want to be in the hands of the enemy anymore. I am in the hands of God. I want to be a chemical engineer. I am currently in college at the National University Peruvian Amazonia. When I finish, I will support my family and people in need. Someday I would like to use my chemical engineering degree to become a missionary and take the word of God to wherever He sends me.
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.2 Timothy 2:2
Donate Your Talent
Do you have a talent? A gift that needs to be shared? Can you paint, draw, sew, design, build? What do YOU have to offer? We will be hosting a virtual Christmas Shop this year as our only fundraiser! We cannot do it without YOUR help! Our prayer is that our brothers and sisters in Christ would donate their talents to us before Thanksgiving. We plan to create an online store via Facebook and then sell these items! They would make great Christmas gifts and all profits would be used to benefit the Kingdom!
All About the Boys
Alonso had a birthday! He was celebrated in the home with a party. They played lots of games!
The boys are continuing to go to school virtually for the time being.
The boys have been involved in several major community projects! They have helped rebuild the roads around their neighborhood. They also helped clean up trash.
The boys helped host an event for the children in the local community. They were able to safely come through our church building and receive food and goodie bags and hear about Jesus! The boys worked hard to prepare for this event by packaging food!
Peruvians love to dance! The boys have taken it upon themselves to choreograph a dance to perform at a later date for the kids in the community. They are excited and are enjoying practicing together and being creative.
Why We Give
Cameron and Emily Lovette have generously supported Kings and Queens since we took in our first original boys! They are faithful supporters and help sponsor one of the men of Casa de Reyes.
Here is Emily's reasoning for why they give:
“As a family, we choose to give out of a desire to see lives changed.
And while our monthly gift doesn’t begin to put a dent in what is needed to help everyone in Peru; it does make a difference in the life of a young man we are blessed to know! Getting to be a small part of how God is providing for him and meeting his needs is a blessing and honor.
Making a difference in the life of one child is worth it!”
We continue to pray you and your family are safe, healthy, and well. If we may offer any prayer for you personally, for physical, emotional or spiritual fervor, we would be honored to do so.
