Elvis is a graduate of our Mentor Program. He came into our program a little older and was officially with us for a year. He graduated out of the program last fall and has been working construction. When he graduated he used some of the money that had been saved for him and some he had saved from working to buy a tiny house that he fixed up the best he could.
He was recently engaged to a young lady named Ana Maria. They plan to marry in July and will have their first child later this fall. It is not the ideal way to start a marraige, but we are proud that Elvis is standing by this young lady that he loves and wants to marry her, provide for her and raise their child together.
Pleaes pray for this young couple. Pray that God would draw them into a personal relationship with Himself. Pray that they would break the cycle of abandonment in their family and be an example to others around them. Pray that we would know how to best encourage, assist and be a part of this time in their lives. Pray for Elvis, who recently lost his job, to find a new construction job that will pay him well and allow him to provide for his soon to be wife and child.
We will be sure to post pictures of our first Livada wedding later this summer!
