Project News and Updates

By the grace of God, Pastor Daniel Kwon, from A Cup of Water International, ACOWI, installed a clean water system in the home, and we were able to let the Guatemalan judges know we are ready to receive babies and children.

We opened our doors on September 18th!!!

Pastor Daniel is coming back to our town to explore how God will direct him to help our water situation. Please pray for Pastor Daniel, his family, and ministry.

The house has been furnished and fixed to be the home for 5 babies and 2-4 children not older than 12 years of age. This is the profile of the Isaiah 58 Home as established with the Consejo Nacional de Adopciones (C N A).

The license to open the Isaiah 58 Home is near. We had to have 3 different government agencies approve us. The Ministry of Education: approved. The Department of Health: approved. We are just waiting for approval of the Psychological Plan and the final physical inspection of the Home. We have had already one favorable inspection, when we were still painting the house.

The Ezra Project of Guatemala is a legal entity. We have The Ezra Project in the USA and we have formed the non-profit in Guatemala so we can be a legal entity. The SAT (Guatemala IRS version) procedures for non-profit status are almost completed.

 Through the process with the C.N.A. (Consejo Nacional de Adopciones) and other Guatemalan government agencies, we have met many capable, professional, and compassionate Guatemalans. We are thankful for their willingness to work with us and their encouragement and help to continue a very cumbersome process.
