Meet Yandell! This young man is one of the youth from the community that Hearts and Hands for Jesus has assisted since kindergarten. He is now a senior in high school. He lives with his Mother in the Barrio Roosevelt neighborhood. Yandell is involved in his community and has marched, or should I say danced, in the Dia de Afro- Caribbean parade with the Nefertiti cultural group.

Individual Mentoring classes for those seeking a deeper relationship with the Lord have been on going with several new individuals beginning this year. We were greatly blessed with a home visit to the USA this fall where we met many new friends and assisted in preparing and providing meals for individuals with food insecurity. November brought the celebration of Sister Elizabeth’s 106th birthday.
