The MANNA Feeding Center at San Lucas is a little bit of heaven on earth. It is in very poor area outside of Guatemala City. God opened a door for a feeding center to be started in this area a couple of months ago. They found a small building that would feed about 25 children. One day the MANNA directors phone rang and it was a man asking to see him right away. He told Andrew where to meet him. The very small man road up on a bicycle and told Andrew that he was very small because he was stunted from lack of good nutrition when he was little. A family took him and his brother in and raised him. He became a business man and was now a community leader. As they chatted the man lead them through a gate and up a steep hill to a 2000 sqft house on 6 acres. He said that he wished there had been an organization to have helped him and his brother when they were little. The man then asked if MANNA would like to use the property for their feeding center for FREE!?!?! This center now feeds about 40 children and has a waiting list of 90. The children are very loving, happy and thankful to have people come and play with them and love on them.
People in third world countries do not have FUN like Americans. They work day to day just to survive. Kim is working on a story of a very poor family that has three children attending the feeding center at San Lucas. God is working and providing for this beautiful place. It is so awesome for the children to have a safe place to come eat, play and hear God's Word.
