El Mequital School in Guatemala City is an intimidating place. The streets outside are tense, and a metal door is bolted shut for children’s safety. Some of them have parents in gangs. It’s not at all unusual for their dads to be in prison. God’s word is urgently needed here, and it’s making the most amazing difference.

A Bible Society project called Open the Book brings interactive Bible storytelling to schools like El Mequital. Volunteers come full of energy and love, and children see a new way of life.

This is just one way that your donation can bring Jesus into otherwise hopeless lives.
