Biography

Moises is described as a respectful, responsible and intelligent boy who likes to play basketball in his free time. Blue is his favorite color and his favorite subject in school is history. When he grows up, Moises hopes to become an engineer.

A typical meal for Moises usually includes rice, beans, sometimes meat. Moises lives with his mother, four sisters and one brother in a tin house with a corrugated tin roof. Moises helps his family by working in the garden.

Moises is learning about the Lord’s love for him in daily Bible lessons at school. He enjoys reading the Bible and his favorite story is about Jacob. Please join us in praying for continued spiritual growth, blessings and understanding in Moises’s life.
