Discover the idea →Faith and formation
Some children grow up without anyone telling them about a God who loves them, and some families sit at the table without knowing how to pass on the faith they received from their grandparents. We want to bring the Ten Commandments into every home, not as a list of prohibitions, but as the path that makes “those who obey them … happy” (Psalm 19:8). Materials to read as a family, gatherings and close accompaniment so that faith is lived again at home, on the way and every day. Your contribution can be the first page a family reads together.
Education and youth
A young person without opportunities is not a young person without talent: they are a seed no one has planted yet. That is why we want to give scholarships to children and young people so they can study at educational institutions that form mind, body and spirit, where every young person discovers their purpose and learns with discipline and character. That is the heart of Cacao con Propósito: academic support, mentoring and practical training for children, adolescents and young people in Venezuela. “How can young people keep their lives pure? By obeying your commands” (Psalm 119:9). Help us sow that word in a generation that wants to lift up its country.
Dignified work
Few things restore dignity like bringing bread home through the work of your own hands. We want to promote job training and formal, fairly paid employment, starting with the land: sustainable cacao cultivation in Venezuela, with young adults who earn a decent wage and learn a trade with a future. We believe in a community that practices what God asks: “to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God” (Micah 6:8). Every contribution brings closer the day when a family stops surviving and starts building.
Community
No one should carry their pain alone. We want to welcome every person without judging them by their circumstances, and to honor those who sustain our communities every day: teachers, police officers and other public servants who are rarely thanked. Shared prayer, accompaniment and service, because the Word asks us: “let love make you serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). When you give, you are not only giving money: you are telling someone they are not alone.
From idea to practice
How to recognize an opportunity to serve
Listen first
Talk with the people living the situation and ask what kind of support would be useful. In education, for example, a conversation can make clear whether what is needed is help with studying, materials or a place to learn.
Define a feasible action
Choose a concrete goal, identify who can help and estimate the time available. In a job-training initiative, start with a skill the group can practice.
Review with the community
Ask the participants what helped them and what could be improved. Use that conversation to decide whether to repeat, adapt or close the activity.
If you know of a need or have a proposal, describe who it seeks to serve and what resources the community already has.
