Dear Friend / Family,
You probably have
already found a charity that you have a passion for and support, or maybe you
haven’t?
If you haven’t, maybe
this can be the perfect opportunity for you to support and share in the lives
of an American missionary couple serving in the small villages of Guatemala.
On August 30, 2015, we will
begin our full-time missionary journey. After driving to Texas to drop off our
vehicle with our son, Sean, and storing a few sentimental belongings, we will
then fly to Santa Cruz de Lago Atitlan, Guatemala, to begin a two month study
at an immersion Spanish language school.
After brushing up / improving our verbal Spanish skills we will then have
the ability to minister more effectively in a variety of ways:
- Assisting at the village school in Godinez, teaching faith, religion, and English
- Assisting at the small medical clinic in San Lucas Tolíman
- Providing Diaconate services at the Parish San Lucas (Saint Luke)
- Providing ministry care to the outlying villages where there is a shortage of priestly services while offering Sunday services and bringing the Eucharist. Also providing Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, and Quinceaneras, etc.
- Building lasting Christ-centered relationships with the local people
Our role as Missionaries
is not a paid or sponsored position, and we are hoping and praying for a
handful of people like you who might be willing to support us with a $10 a
month donation.
Yes, only $10 a month!
Our plan is to live a
simple and humble lifestyle while renting a small (1-2 room) home, eating as
the local people do, and finding comfort in the simple things in life. Our
total monthly expenses (food, shelter, toiletries, and medicine) should be less
than $150 a month each, so yes a handful of people supporting us with $10 a
month will give us all we need to sustain ourselves and our mission.
Please join us and
visit www.CatholicMission.net
and look for the donation button. Our benefactors / supporters will routinely receive
personal updates from us regarding the mission, be included in our daily
prayers, and receive special letters and pictures from those we are able to
help through their support.
Thank you for helping
us to follow our call to serve the special people of Guatemala.
Sincerely,
Deacon Pat and Liz
Kearns
