My name is Saul, and my wife Dilma and I are from Honduras. We have both been disciples for more than 20 years and long time members of the church in Honduras. God has been generous to us and blessed us with a beautiful sons. Our younger son, Marcelo, has autism. I am currently unemployed and stay at home to care for him, while my wife supports our family with her limited income. The past few months have been especially challenging. Marcelo had been attending therapy sessions, but due to our financial situation, we were forced to stop them.

In addition to therapy, Marcelo requires daily medication to help manage his emotions and tantrums. My wife and I are still learning how to support him, we're doing our best, but we often feel unprepared and overwhelmed. We are reaching out to ETF for support so Marcelo can continue his therapy. We’ve seen progress in him when he receives regular sessions, but unfortunately, due to our limited resources, he has missed several. Your help could make a lasting difference in Marcelo’s development and daily life.

I’m reaching out to invite you to be part of something special—a chance to strengthen the faith of some amazing young disciples in Mexico.

From July 25–27, 2025, the "Conferencia Mexicana Universitaria Metanoia 2025" will take place in Tijuana, Baja California Norte. This national campus ministry conference will inspire and equip students from across Mexico to grow deeper in their walk with God. One group that’s especially eager to attend is the campus ministry from Tláhuac, Mexico City, 17 passionate young brothers and sisters who are full of potential and faith. Unfortunately, many of them face financial challenges that may prevent them from going.

I’ve personally committed to donate and am working to raise $7,000 USD to cover their travel and lodging. This will allow them to experience the powerful fellowship, teaching, and spiritual renewal the conference offers. Would you consider helping? Any amount you can give will make a difference and bring them one step closer to this faith-building opportunity.

The local contact for this effort is René Ruiz Olmedo, the campus minister in Tláhuac. If you’re interested in contributing, please let me know, I’ll gladly share the giving details. Thank you so much for your love and support.

Maria Militina, an 81-year-old woman, has been a faithful disciple for the past four years and is a devoted member of the Honduras Church. Her daughter, Iris, is also a disciple, and together they have remained strong in their faith. Recently, Maria suffered a severe fall that resulted in a dislocated hip, leaving her bedridden. She is currently receiving care at Mario Catarino Rivas Hospital in San Pedro Sula. Doctors have recommended urgent surgery to insert a special screw that will stabilize her hip and support her body. Only after this procedure can they proceed with the necessary knee operation.

Unfortunately, due to Iris’s unstable employment situation, the cost of purchasing the required surgical materials is beyond their means. As a result, they are unable to move forward with the medical treatment Maria desperately needs. We are humbly reaching out to ETF for financial assistance to help cover the cost of the surgery. Maria is enduring ongoing pain, and your support could significantly ease her suffering. More importantly, it could allow her to walk again and return to a normal life. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. Your support can truly make a life-changing difference.

Dear Friends,

Omaira was adopted by a loving family of a Disciple, and her life has been a testament to faith and service. She is a cherished member of our community, always putting others first, and now it's our turn to rally around her.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and support.

My name is Fábio, and I am 50 years old. I have been following Jesus for 30 years. I live in Belo Horizonte with my wife, Viviane, to whom I have been married for 22 years, and our 14-year-old son—both of whom are disciples. Over the years, I have served in various ministries at our church in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and I currently serve alongside my wife in the ministry for married couples, in addition to preaching at Sunday services.

Since 2019, I have been battling Parkinson's disease, which worsened in 2024, causing stiffness, pain, and weakness on my right side. I have been approved for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, but the cost is beyond what we can afford. As the main provider for my family, accepting this reality has been a great challenge. My illness limits my ability to work consistently, as even basic tasks become difficult at times.

My dream is to regain my health so I can continue serving God through my work in the Church, provide for my family, and, through my Psychology studies, help and support people with chronic illnesses. I am reaching out to ETF for assistance so I can continue my treatment and undergo surgery. This opportunity would be life-changing, giving me another chance to enjoy life and serve God more. The road ahead is long, but I am confident that God is with me and my family during this difficult time.
