My Story

Hello! I am so happy and blessed for having the opportunity to share my 2026 news with you. I started to attend the feeding program about two years ago. Since then, I have received delicious food and participated in the bible classes; what I like the most is memorizing the verses. I am Janderson Jafeth Eliseo Calel Bartolo and I am a healthy 8-year-old boy. I have heard that some people prefer cold rather than hot weather and vice versa, but I like both. I attend the second grade at school and I like feeding the chickens to help my mother with the household chores. She is a single parent and does her best to support our family by raising and selling chickens and turkeys. To earn an extra income, she sometimes washes clothing for other people. She is grateful to LW-Adopt A Child for the support that my brother and I have received since it has been a great blessing. When she was a teenage girl, she enjoyed each meal at the feeding program.

What she liked the most were the Christmas activities and the special lunch to end the year. Due to her nice experience, she felt motivated to take my brother and me there. About my biological father, I tell you that we do not have any information. He abandoned our family about two years ago. I tell you that my family and I are members of the Pentecostal Prince of Peace Church. Serving God by means of worship and listening to the gospel are our main reasons to go there. I tell you that sister Sandra (a member of the LW evangelism team) recently talked with my mother about Heaven. My mother said that she is assured about being admitted into Heaven because she is God’s daughter because she accepted Him in her heart as her Lord and Heavenly father a while ago. Because of her answer, she was encouraged by the evangelism teacher to continue looking more for God. To end this letter, I kindly ask you to pray for my family so that we have provision and keep healthy. In advance, thank you so much!

Sincerely yours,

Janderson Jafeth Eliseo Calel Bartolo
