“Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me… Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish”

Matthew 18:5, 10-14

You may ask WHO this fundraiser is named after. Read Mauricio's story here.

Many children like Mauricio are in need of an education, not just on reading and basic arithmetic, but of their Savior. REACH International has an elementary school that teachers the SDA faith interwoven with their curriculum on grades 1-6. Last year, thanks to generous donations of money and prayers, Maria (13 years) and Yeferson (9 years) were able to study in this elementary school. Both learned how to read and write and about the miracles and promises our Heavenly Father liberally bestows upon us.

We are looking to send Maria and Yeferson on to their next grade, along with other children from their neighborhood. Each student requires $1,000 in order to attend this school- this cost includes their registration ($870), uniform, school supplies, and payment for a tutor to help them with their homework as needed.

I pray that the story of Mauricio may show you how God’s power is unlimited when He seeks to save His children. Whether through your funds, prayers, or passing this link onto friends and family, you are giving these children hope. God bless you for your contribution and ongoing support!

Please reach out if you would like to keep in contact with some of the children that this fund will support:)
