With Growth Comes Change
The children are growing and the youth are facing different challenges in life as they become adults. Each child and family that we work with in these communities has a great need for spiritual growth. As we continue to work with the local leaders, God has made evident to each of us that the people have a real desire to know Him more, to have fellowship, and to participate in what God is doing around them.
While praying about the best way to respond to these needs, our landlord notified us that our monthly rent was being raised. Unfortunately, the ministry center is falling apart and we are expected to partially cover the cost of repairs. We always want to invest the ministry resources wisely, but this no longer feels like the best option.
Considering all of this we have decided to close the ministry center. It may sound like bad news, but we see it as a huge opportunity.
What’s next?
God has made it clear to us that our place is IN the community. We are looking at buying land in Zoroya and beginning to BUILD a new ministry center. This will enable us to continue teaching all of our classes. This will allow us to disciple more people on a greater scale. We will be able to continue hosting Kids Club in the communities. It will provide a place for these believers to meet and keep growing in their faith.
We need your help!
We are very blessed to share with a community of supporters that have poured into His Hands and Feet for many years. A community that prays for us, supports us, and shares the joy of all the work that is done. Once again, we need your help to make this dream a reality. We have been looking at land and have found a nice plot of land right in Zorozoya! We are anticipating an investment of $25,000. We went and checked out the land with one of our local leaders, and his face lit up as he saw the space. He immediately said, “We can set up tents or a temporary structure and start meeting here right away!”
This end of year, we want to invite you to make a special donation to His Hands and Feet. We desire to reach this goal and take this step of faith. We trust and believe that this will be a blessing to many families and future generations!
Keep us in your prayers
As always, we ask you to cover us in prayer. We are entering into a time of transition and change. Although change brings growth, it often brings pain and trials as well. Please pray for His Hands and Feet as we wrap up the last activities of the year and move out of the ministry center. Please pray for our family as we go through all the steps with the ministry, while balancing family time and little kids. Thank you for cheering us on and supporting us every step of the way!!
Blessings,
Kevin, Ashley, Isabella, Ian, Olivia, and Eliana Hernandez
