Study group at Redeemers "Adopts" Uruguayan Youth
The Mission Study group of Redeemers Lutheran Church, Wayne, has a child.
And although he has never seen any of his "mothers" in person, they play a most important part in his life.
Angel Alvez is his name and he lives in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Study group adopted the fourteen-year-old boy after hearing about the great need for sponsors for underprivileged children in South
America from the Christian Children's Fund, Richmond, Virginia.
The twenty ladies found out that Angel's family had always lived in tragic poverty. But it was only when differences and tensions separated the family that he was brought to a CCF-supported children's home.
He is in the fifth grade now and playing ball is his favorite pass time.
Angel corresponds with the Mission Study group and they help in any way they can.
Sponsors of such children sent $10 a month or $120 a year toward the child's care, choosing a boy or a girl in any of the 54 countries from above the Article Circle to below the Equator.
