Updates about the Orantes Family

We recently received the disturbing news that Ruth's teaching job at the Colegio Bautista (the Baptist school in Santa Ana) has been eliminated as of January 1st.  Ruth's position in the Christian Education department was one of 20 jobs eliminated across various departments.

This puts added pressure on the family budget, especially since Victor Hugo's school tuition was a benefit of Ruth's employment. Happily we can report that a donor to the Cielo Azul Fund has designated funds to cover all of Victor Hugo's school expenses for 2010. 

The loss of the teaching job leaves Ruth free to spend herself in her pastoral work at Iglesia Bautista Shekina.  But while there is full time work to do at this growing congregation, the congregation can not match the salary she has lost from her teaching position.

Your continued support will help to give the family a stable economic base for their service to the community.
