Hello! I send you many greetings in the name of Jesus hoping you and your family are doing well.  I hope you enjoy reading my updated 2024 information because I want to share with you some news about my family and me through this. First of all, I want to let you know that my family and I are grateful for every benefit that I receive from LW Ministries because it has been a great blessing for us.  

This is Tereso De La Cruz Benito and I am 13 years old. I am a healthy boy. I studied the 5th grade this year at school and I attended in the mornings.  I spend my weekend helping my mother with chores at home. LW Ministries has blessed my family and my life through the free and delicious meals for lunch that they serve in the Feeding Center. I like to eat the fried chicken that they cook. Moreover, I have been blessed with medicines in the medical clinic. I enjoyed receiving the gifts during the Christmas celebration in that place in December. 

I want to tell you that as a family we are attending the Prince of Peace Church. The LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God during the visit and she is grateful for the nice words. My mother`s name is Roselia Benito Simaj. She looks after us and she is a housewife. Moreover, she embroiders wool bags to sell and she raises hens, pigs, sheep and turkeys also to sell. She accepted Jesus in her heart many years ago and she is a healthy woman. We grow corn and black beans for us. My father`s name is Emilio De La Cruz Gutierrez.  He provides for our family expenses by working as a farmer and day laborer. Moreover, he travels to the coast from November to February to pick coffee beans. My father is a healthy man and he accepted Jesus in his heart some years ago. I would like to ask for your prayers for my whole family. I send you many blessings! (My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teacher) 

Warm wishes, 

Tereso De La Cruz Benito
