My name is Jana Jateff, my family and I have been members of LaCroix for over 19 years. I have served on mission trips to Mexico many times building houses, and for many years have had a heart for the Spanish culture. It had been 2 years since last returning to Rio Bravo Mexico. When I heard about the trip being planned to Guatemala, I heard a loud and clear voice from God to go! Never did I expect the emotional and spiritual experience that this week has brought. Building concrete block houses in 100 degree weather was a piece of cake compared to working with these children who have had such horrible abusive situations that brought them to New Life Childrens home. Kendon and Wendy Wheeler as well as Tommy and Marilyn Todd who help lead the home are true examples of disciples leaving everything to accept the call of Christ! These kids are amazing, after earthly fathers and mothers have left them abused and abandoned, God never left nor abandone
d them. The home daily teaches them how much Jesus loves them and how valuable and important they are in Christ's sight. My greatest hope is when I return home that I will remain changed, forever. I will continue to pray for this home as well as sponsor a child . Please join me in prayer for some of the most resilient , amazing, wonderful children in the world!-Jana
