During the Icthus banquets 2
weeks ago, Ludwick Escobar and Rebeca Arriaza,
two Guatemalan Icthus leaders, told the guests
about our relationship with Alotenango. They
shared pictures, and stories. They also gave
each guest an endearing fish magnet made by
Icthus children. Ludwick and Rebeca helped us
understand that together we are helping to make
important changes in Alotenango.

These last two months of 2008
are crucial as we work to provide Icthus to all
the children. Would you consider helping provide
Icthus to more children?

It is exciting getting letters and stories about what the Lord is doing in the lives of children in Latin American. We know that Icthus is having an
uplifting and positive impact!
Right now we lack adequate funding for some 1,000 children in 50 groups to
finish off the year. Your help in providing Icthus to a few more children would
make a big difference. To help 10 children have the Icthus ministry through
December will cost $25. 20 children will be $50. 30 children will require $75.
If you aren't yet a
Padrino join us today to make a significant difference
