IN 2013 DIRTY FEET

MISSIONS WAS STARTED BY

THE SPARK THAT MISSIONS

CREATES IN THE HEARTS

AND LIVES OF OTHERS.

FROM THEN: TO NOW:

Para Servir teaches hands-on missions training. We

teach our interns what every aspect of missionary life

looks like, including fundraising, working in the field

with locals, market shopping, team building,

communication skills, in-depth Bible studies, living in

community and so much more.

We have witnessed young women coming out of

high school and college discover what it means to live

outside of themselves, to live for something greater, to

spend their lives on behalf of humanity and spread the

name and love of Jesus. We have seen young women

begin to live their lives on the mission field and to

transfer their earthly calling into one that also has an

impact on eternity.

Each year, the Para Servir interns raise the funds

necessary to provide a home for one family in need. So

far that's four houses that have been paid for and built

by the DFM Para Servir Interns!

Four years ago, inspired by a

passion to see real life

transformation in others, Para

Servir [to serve] was born. Para

Servir is an annual 6-week

internship that inspires,

equips, transforms,

encourages, excites and

challenges young women to

embrace their God-given

destinies.

UPLIFT, ENCOURAGE, EMPOWER...

LILIAN JESUSITA

Partnering with Porch de Salomon, our nine

interns raised $9,500 for a home for Lilian

Jesusita Chumil and her family. Having been

abandoned by her husband while she was

pregnant with her fourth child, Lilian worked

hard hand-washing clothes and doing other

odd jobs to provide for her family. She earned

$28 per month. This family lived in a single

room with a dirt-floor and "tin" walls covered

with leaky, perforated metal as a roof. They had

no electricity, running water, or sanitation

facilities (toilet). The deplorable living

conditions contributed to the children's poor

health. Thanks to our interns and generous

supporters like you they now have a safe and

warm home to live in, they know the love of

Jesus and that someone cares about them!

PARA SERV IR 2018 BRINGS

CHANGE

In order to continue this work of Para Servir and grow

our vision for the nations, DFM has purchased a home

in Guatemala and is now working towards paying it

off. This home provides a safe place for our interns to

live while they participate in the internship and the

building of homes for families like Lilian's. It provides

a place to live in community, cook meals and eat

around the table where we discuss the

transformation that is taking place in their lives and

the lives of others like Lilian and her family. It's a place

to meet, to share in Bible study and missionary

training. A place to be prepared for a life of taking the

love of Jesus to others.

WE HAVE SO MANY STORIES OF INTERNS WHO HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED AND ARE NOW MISSIONARIES IN

OTHER COUNTRIES OR ARE WORKING IN JOBS THAT DIRECTLY SERVE THOSE IN NEED.

OUR DFM HOUSE

In addition, our home provides our full-time

volunteer, Leigh, a safe place to call home as she

fulfills the call of God on her life and sows in to the

lives of those in need in Guatemala. We also use the

house for our Mayan Women in Transition project.

Hilda is an indigenous Mayan woman who, prior to

living in the DFM house, took care of her family on her

small income. We have provided her with a school

scholarship, a safe place to live, friendship and the

hope of a better future. Hilda now spends her life

serving others as the Humanitarian Relief Co-Director

for Porch de Salomon. With your help we want to give

more women in transition this opportunity, provide

more full-time missionaries a home to live in while

they fulfill the call of God on their lives, and provide a

place where interns can come and learn practical life

skills that will enable them to do the work of

missions.

SEEING FRUIT IN HAITIFor the past 6 years we have consistently invested in the lives

of 36 children at Hope House Haiti. Hope House is a home for

orphaned children operated by Pierre Richard and Yvrose

Ismael. Our work in Haiti also includes helping support the

free school Hope House provides for children K-9. Hope

House Academy currently provides free education and a daily

meal for over 900 children. We take part in helping fund

scholarships for the teachers and sustainability projects, as

well as helping to supply the man-power to complete

construction projects including a chicken house, two

bathrooms, a well, a fish hatchery and a church. We plan to

continue taking teams to Haiti and sharing our passion to

help others as we share the love of Christ!

Currently Hope House Academy is in desperate need of

more teacher scholarships. Education and daily meals

are free to students and the teachers and administrators

are paid by sponsorships from donors. Some teachers

have 105 students in their classes. That means by

sponsoring a teacher for a month, your $150 donation

would be providing a free education for 105 students.

These teachers are dedicated to their students and

training the future leaders of Haiti! Many of them go

unpaid for months, but they still show up to teach their

students because they know the difference it is making. THANK YOU 2018 TEAMS!

We want to extend a big thank you to everyone

who participated in our 1-week trips to Haiti and

Guatemala this year. Thank you for sharing in our

vision and our mission! Your participation means

so much to us, the organizations we partner with

and the people you served. Together we made a

difference in Haiti and Guatemala during 2018.

Here are some highlights from both trips:

Guatemala medical team saw and treated 369

patients during three days of clinics, including

one woman suspected to have advanced

breast cancer (Thank you everyone who

donated to purchase medication for this trip!)

Guatemala construction team helped build

two homes for two very special families in

need, one escaping domestic violence and the

other struggling with health problems

Haiti team helped Hope House Haiti prepare

for the start of the school year to welcome

over 900 students by cleaning classrooms,

painting desks and more

Haiti team delivered much needed backpacks

to children at HHH and CAD orphanage (Thank

you everyone who donated towards this!)

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

We love the work that we do on our own and

the awesome chances we get to partner with

others, like Porch de Salomon, in Guatemala.

2018 has been a year of immense growth for

us! We see the impact first hand that it makes

in the lives of our interns and the lives of those

in need in Guatemala. We are extremely

grateful that you choose us to partner with and

that you are a part of our Dirty Feet family! We

want to continue sowing into the lives of

young women so that they may go out and

pour into the lives of others. We need your

financial support to own our home and make it

a permanent fixture of our ministry in

Guatemala. Pray about what you can do to

make a difference. Would you be willing to

make a special year-end donation or $50, $100

or whatever you can afford to help us toward

our continued work in Guatemala?

HAIT I

Partnering with Hope House Haiti for the past

six years has brought us great joy! We are

grateful for the opportunity to continue

partnering with them and sowing into the

work they are doing in Haiti. Hope House Haiti

is a fixture of its community, providing aid and

support through education and sustainable

farming practices. They are bringing the love of

Jesus to the people there! Join us in furthering

their mission to share the love of Jesus and lift

up the people of Haiti. You can do this by

praying for our Haitian family at Hope House as

well as making a donation. As we mentioned

before, the greatest need of Hope House at the

moment is for support for their teachers. There

are 14 teachers still without sponsorships! Pray

about what you can do to make a difference in

the lives of others.

DONORS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN HAITI FOR 6 YEARS NOW! THANK

YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
