Introduction:
About two years ago,
Hector Garcia, pastor of Iglesia Restauracion in
Campana, was strongly led to share with troubled
children in his area. He shared this desired with
Iglesia Restauracion and confirming with the other
pastors and both churches, it was decided that this was
a ministry that must get top priority.
A
large number of boys spent most of their off
school time playing in the streets on hanging
around with the wrong crows.
Recent
statistics show that children enter gangs and
start using drugs by the age of six years old;
this puts an even stronger urgency into our hands
to do something to prevent more children to be
lost.
To
date, Iglesia Restauracion has established 2 Moses
Projects: one in Campana y the second in the area
of Los Naranjos. Campana's project has on
average 30-40 children on attendance, 27
(10-16 yrs. old) have committed to the program.
San Pedro Sula's counts with 20 (7-16 yrs. old)
committed.
The
program includes, 3 weekly bible studies,
weekly sports activities, community services
(street cleaning, bridge painting, help with
medical brigades, participate in activities at
Iglesia Restauracion, repairing of roads.)
Currently, 10
children have given their lives to Christ, 50% of
them have stopped consuming cigarettes, alcohol,
marihuana, cocaine, crack, stopped betting and 14%
have cut their ties with gangs.
