The Servant's Heart
The
Servant's Heart was founded in 1992 as a ministry to the "poorest of the poor"
in Guatemala. These were the people who lived and worked in the garbage dump of
Guatemala City. Beginning with visits to the shanty towns inside the dump and
Bible studies with twelve families, the ministry has grown to include a Lutheran
day school, daily VBS and Bible study classes, medical clinics both at the
ministry sites and in the squatters area near the dump, a daily soup kitchen,
and an economic development department which teaches marketable skills in
handcrafts as well as Christian work ethics and business skills. Our short-term
mission teams come year-round from the U.S. to spend nine days with us. These
volunteers bring much-needed supplies as well as hearts full of the love of
Jesus to share with our people.
The Servant's Heart is in need of aid for our school and students. Due to financial reasons, we are closing our private school for the coming year, with plans to open for the 2009 school year. We are, however, completely committed to providing our children with a Christian education, and we are seeking tuition assistance to continue sending these children to private Christian schools within the city. We will continue our after school and enrichment programs as well as our VBS and Saturday programs that compose the academic areas of our ministry.
The Servant's Heart is a Recognized Service Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

Middle School servant days
Our annual servant days is always in mid-February. This year I went with 6th grade to Nueva Vision (New Vision). It's a drug rehabilitation center for men. We raked the back yard and cut down some ivy and then painted the wall. The walls around the front yard and the house also needed painting so we did that too. I think the kids ended up with more paint on them than on ...Click here to read the whole newsletter and view the photos...

Seven teachers and 17 students from the Christian Academy went to Hermano Pedro Hospital in Antigua, Guatemala last Saturday. This was a voluntary service project. The students held some of the children and wheeled them around in their wheelchairs or walked with them. Most of the patients in this hospital have cerebral palsy because of the poor prenatal care of the mothers. Some of the children were abandoned by their parents and left at the hospital. The students and teachers from CAG enjoyed the morning with the patients and some became attached to them in the short time we were there...
