Jackie Wong

Introduction:
Jackie works both in Vancouver and in Guatemala as the Development Manager of EDUPAVI Canada, which partners with local Guatemalan organizations to promote God’s restoration of broken cycles through education.

Praise:
As EDUPAVI celebrated its 4th birthday in November, we also celebrated the completion of our first year as an officially credited school in Guatemala! By God’s grace, over 70 children completed their school year (which is a huge accomplishment in low-income communities in Guatemala) and were able to receive love, personalized educational support, and the message of a Good Father’s hope on a daily basis. We were also able to support and educate over 40 mothers in our program, many of whom are single parents and/or bear the burden of care in their families.

Prayer:
Please pray for Jackie as she prepares to lead two separate teams of young adults to Guatemala this year, coordinate the planting of EDUPAVI’s first longer-term international field worker, and be in Guatemala on her own for several trips to continue her work with EDUPAVI’s partner organization (the first of which will be from Feb. 1-Apr. 4). Pray for God’s story to be told through the lives of the people called to go, the dedicated teachers in Guatemala, and the students who are so dearly loved by their Creator.
