GracielaHer name means

grace of God.

Considering the

contrast between her

past and her present,

“grace of God” fits her

story perfectly.

64%FUNDED

Take oneGraciela arrived at Esperanza Viva-Puebla

as an eight-year-old, who could not read or write. “I didn’t want to be anything when I grew up because I didn’t know how to do anything… those first years of school were the hardest,” she says. It was in 6th grade when her distinct love

for numbers began to emerge. Although oftentimes difficult, what she found most fascinating about her math classes was searching for the solution. Yet even when she began high school, she said she never really considered going to college. “I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll do what [schoolwork] they ask of me,’ but I never saw myself as capable of studying for a degree.”

Take twoGraciela, now 21, is halfway into her

three-year Accounting and Finance degree. And not only is she doing great in school, she also helps with the accounting for Esperanza Viva Youth Home and Nations Church expenditures, which she’s been doing since the age of 18. She saw a need within the ministry and took the initiative to invest her God-given talents into His work.By God’s grace, Graciela has been able to

reach higher and achieve greater things than she ever believed possible, and likewise God is calling each one of us to greater things. Will you take the initiative, like Graciela did, to invest what God has given you, and change the course of lives for generations?

LastingHopeCAREER

SCHOLARSHIPFUND

At Esperanza Viva Youth Home we currently have 15

young adults who, like Graciela, may have arrived with no hope of “being

something” someday. With your help,

these bright young people will have the opportunities they need to reach their potential through higher education.

Consider giving to the Lasting Hope Career

Scholarship Fund today and help young people like Graciela

discover all they can become.

Luis, an on-staff teacher at the Integral Education Center for the last five years says, “Serving as a teacher at the IEC has allowed me to see the love that God has for each of these boys and girls…The education

they receive will open wide the doors of their future. We, as teachers, are very excited at what a

properly equipped school could

mean for the future of these children that God has called us to care for.”

LETTERS TO MY SPONSOR Concepts borrowed from a sponsor’s letters through the years

Dear Carson Family,My name is Juan. I am six years old.

Maybe you chose me from a photo and read my story. Maybe you came to visit me and we became friends. I write you letters and draw pictures for you. I smile in photos and I love to play. I have lots of friends and a big new family. I am safe. I am happy. I tell you that I love you and thank you for the special gifts and kind words you share with me. I mean it, I love you. Juan ■

I am eleven years old now. I am learning what love truly means. I know your name by heart. I keep all of your letters, photos and cards; they are special to me. You care about me and pray for me. You are my friend. I may not understand the depth of God’s love for me, but I know that He loves me. You help to remind me that God loves me. Juan ■

I am growing up and you are a part of my life. I learn from you. Your faith and the words that you share bring me hope. I allow myself to dream, dream that I can finish school, maybe I can even go to college. Juan ■

I am graduating from college. I know you are happy for me. I am still in awe of how my life has changed. I am hopeful and unafraid of the future. Thank you

for showing me hope and unconditional friendship. Thank you for being my sponsor. ❤Your friend,

It is easier than ever to get on a plane and only hours later find yourself wide-eyed, in an alternate reality. One not of malls, proms, sports, entertainment and working towards retirement, but one of hope emerging from hurt, one of God meeting needs and not just wants. One where, without the grace of God, the wreckage of bodies and souls would go unnoticed. You have a chance to open your heart to those God calls “the least of these” by giving a week of your life to experience a Week of Hope. LHI offers dates throughout the year, to groups and individuals to allow God to give you a renewed vision of a world in need and how He is using willing hearts like yours to make a lasting, global difference.

MISSIONARY SPOTLIGHTWhen you think of Esperanza Viva Youth Home in Puebla, you probably don’t think of Jenny Azuara. A national missionary who has served alongside the McNallys

since the founding of Living Hope, Jenny stays out of the spotlight but keeps the ministry running. Skillfully

handling the administration of multiple ministries, Jenny tirelessly serves the children, staff, church and visitors with passion. Jenny looks back on her 21 years in the ministry: “There is nothing better than to spend your life totally sold out, serving God.” Sold-out people like Jenny are part of our team of National missionaries who benefit from the Hope 24/7 sponsorship program.

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTORDuring a recent gathering with the staff of Esperanza Viva-Puebla, Jerry encouraged everyone to keep the basics in mind as they approach 2016, and all that God has in store for it. “We have to stay in love with Jesus, have a clear vision, make goals to reach that vision, and enjoy the ride.”

Noun. Verb. Active. Passive.The word “reach” can sum up

one’s current sphere of influence, but also speaks of the capacity to become greater, challenging one to extend even further. How have you been reached? Has God touched your life and His Gospel penetrated your heart, life and worldview? Perhaps you’ve experienced a Week of Hope with us in Mexico and the smiles of the kids, in contrast with their broken past, has reached a part of you in a way that cannot be explained nor forgotten. Perhaps the stories of the children’s pasts are a solemn reminder of your own. We can thank God that He cares enough to reach down to hoist us all from

darkness into light, vision and potential, and we can further thank Him for the tools he now equips us with to reach others as we fulfill His purposes beyond our own. Our logo depicts a two-way reach, thus, our vision is a call for us all to understand

our need for help and rescue, yet be ever watching for the chance to help others. We can reach down ourselves to answer a desperate plea from those God has put in our path.LHI is launching one of our most ambitious and pivotal projects ever, constructing

a Pre-K through 12 school to educate and prepare young people, once declared hopeless, for a life of prosperity and joy, reaching their God-given potential. Over the coming months we plan to further unpack the ways that our first-ever

school building will be a pivotal tool in reaching not just the children in our care now, nor simply those who will someday find refuge with us. Our school will be the training grounds of the critical thinking, reason, maturity and creativity needed to reach beyond the secure walls of our campus, to not only the local community here in Mexico, but the far reaches of our world in places like India, Russia, Cuba, the Philippines and more, where God is ready to reach but wants our hands to do so.Prayerfully consider your role in God’s reach to, in and through you. Is He prompting

your heart to reach beyond the known and the comfortable, in order to help spread the Gospel through Living Hope International? Working together we can expand our reach from rescuing children to rescuing a generation and a world in need of hope found only in Christ.
