Jesús is a boy who has gone through very sad and difficult situations a child shouldn’t face.  Abandoned by his father, fighting serious diseases, he keeps walking in victory!  God has done many miracles in his life, miracles that have been a powerful testimony even to some missionaries.

Jesús has huge dreams, and we are sure he will become a leader of transformation, of change, a leader in victory through Jesus Christ!

He has been blessed with the opportunity of going to the SCIVIS Space Camp on September 19th.  This camp is for visually impaired children and this door was opened through a teacher who came with a team from Teachers 2 Teachers.  We are working with a lawyer in order to get all his legal papers to travel.  Please help us praying!!! We have an audience with the judge on August 24.

Dear Mr. Thompson:

 

I am back in my country and wanted to write about my experience at Space Camp, about what it meant to me!

First of all, I want to start giving you the thanks for opening this door to me, for letting me reach the stars!  Getting the scholarship from the St. Louis Lighthouse for the blind, is for me like a gift from heaven!  Thanks to this scholarship, I got the chance to fly for the first time in my life and to reach the starts that always looked so far away to me.

Being at the SCIVIS Space Camp was a unique experience, a very fun one!  It was great because besides everything I learnt,  I was able to make new friends who are visually impaired and need to say I love them,  even if we spoke different languages, we found a magic way to communicate!  It was such a wonderful experience that I still can’t believe it happened!

I loved all the simulators, the museum visits, the games, everything we learnt, the missions, and of course the food was awesome!!  I got the chance to eat so many different things, and my favorite are the harshbrown potatoes, with the shape of stars!

I loved spending time with my new friends, learning together, playing together, experiencing together.

I really enjoyed the simulators and the space missions, I actually felt as if I was in the moon!!!  I felt as if I was a true astronaut!

Everything at the camp was so inspiring to me and now I know that I can have a bright future and dream high!  For nothing is impossible with God!

 

May the Lord bless you richly,
