Bunk Bed

Sponsors from San Marcos, Texas provided a bunk bed for Gustavo and Sandra. This brother and sister have two other younger siblings and the family had all been sharing one double bed. Now the bedroom, one room in the 3 room house, is neatly arranged with the new bunk bed against the back wall. Gustavo proudly sleeps on the top bunk.

The Child Sponsorship Program pairs sponsors in the U.S. with children in the Burgos region. The sponsor support of $20/month is used to help the child and family with things such as food and clothes. (more info) Sponsors receive correspondence and photos from the child. Some sponsors are able to come to Burgos to visit the sponsored family. Occasionally special needs arise and as sponsors are able, they participate in help above the monthly donation. (example)

It began with a question by Gustavo's sponsors, "What else can we do?" and the bed was on its way to El Charco, a small community outside of Burgos proper. Gustavo's family, though quiet and shy, has been overwhelmed by the help. Every gift is an opportunity to speak and demonstrate the love of Christ to the family and to draw their attention to the nearness and goodness of God.

We thank all of our sponsors for their help and support. Not all are able to send bunk beds, but their faithful monthly support is making a difference physically and spiritually. We thank God for His provision and the partners we have in the CSP.
