January/February/March Newsletter from the Todds in Guatemala!

Apr 15

Our dear friends in Antigua who always have great gifts for us to buy! Michelle had a good report in February and did not have to have surgery this time, God is good!! Tommy, Wayne & Sam built an amazing storage unit for the kid’s clothes closet for better organization. This new year has started o/ really well for NLCH!

The school building is finished and now our high school classes are filling up, they have school from about mid-January to mid October, over 600 students this year!! We praise God for helping to get this project finished! It took a little over 8 years, COVID did not help in getting it done sooner!! We did a child sponsorship push at Trinity Church, not sure yet how well it went but the children’s home is in need for about 400 more sponsors!!

Each child needs 20 sponsors and of course we don’t have that or even close to that. Inflation is hitting Guatemala hard, and it takes so much to care for 50ish kids each day. The sponsorship covers their food, housing, house parent salary, school tuition, books and uniforms. It also covers medical and dental needs for each child. It is a $40.00 a month commitment to sponsor a child, can you pray about helping us to care for these children, it is a rewarding experience for your family. Go to www.nlai.org to sign up, thanks so much!!

We go to Guatemala the middle of May for our annual NLAI retreat. We’d appreciate your prayers for our travels and “family” time with our missionary families there and those raising funds to go down soon. Thanks for all your continued prayers!! In Service for Him, Tommy & Marilyn
