German and Berta Velasquez have a calling to transform local families with the love of Jesus Christ. German works in three public schools teaching Bible and Christian Values, as well as building and installing fuel-efficient stoves for those in need. Berta hosts several women’s groups, which meet regularly to learn sewing and cooking skills. She uses these meetings to share from God’s Word to equip and support these women, and to encourage them to raise their families to love and serve the Lord. They currently work in the villages of Magdelena, La Libertad, Santiago, and Santa Lucia Milpas Altas.
