A Sweet Success Story……
One of the joys of working with El Ayudante is that we get to stick around in our community to see the effects of our ministry. I first met Lily when she was 17, 3 years ago. She and her 19 year old boyfriend, Marlon, had a 6 month old baby named Carol. One day…

Marriages Changed!
It is the mission of El Ayudante to grow committed followers of Christ by meeting the needs of our community. Sometimes what we see as needs is not always a complete picture. Last year we were approached my members of the community that were wanting help in growing and improving their marriages. This was new…

The Valley of Vision
…Their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. Luke 24:31 In the Comayagua Valley, where the ministry of El Ayudante is located, the growing season continues year round. As you travel the washboard-like gravel roads around the area, one plot of land after another is producing crops, or is inhabited by cattle. I think the…

Unexpected Gifts
Did you grow up with older siblings? I did. And one thing that I heard quite regularly was: “Don’t touch my stuff!” If something they had was precious in any way, that was the deal. Don’t touch it. But God doesn’t say this. He takes His most precious possession–His people–and He says, “Come. Be in…
