"FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11 Training For Christ Ministry (TFC) is committed to providing vocational, educational and spiritual mentoring for Guatemalan impoverished youth, regardless of their religion or gender. Our scholarship vocational training provides an opportunity for Guatemalan youth, that reside in remote underserved villages/hamlets, to learn a trade and thereby be a financially contributing member of their family and community. Training For Christ partners with local Christian Pastors (international churches located in students village) who provide each student with weekly spiritual mentoring and bible study. It is our hope and prayer that each student recognizes the gift God has given them and that each student develops a relationship with the Lord and become more Christ like in their earthly relationships and walk. Our students live in a Drug Cartel venue where there is no future hope or dreams other than drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking and gangs. In a nut shell, TFC provides an economic and spiritual alternative to illegal criminal activity that has had such a devastating impact on the poor and uneducated youth in Guatemala. Most families, if they can find work, earn less than 4 dollars a day...Travel cost to school city center costs $4.32 a day for each student - 3 buses each way. Is it no wonder that education beyond 5th grade is unobtainable for the impoverished youth in remote village areas far from city centers. Guatemala does have first rate private vocational schools located in city centers. However transportation is unaffordable and schools are usually 1 1/2 hours away. Tuition, uniforms, tools and supplies prevent any thought of obtaining a vocational education, even if transportation cost wasn't an issue. TFC makes it possible in an otherwise impossible situation. Our average program cost per child is approximately $1,800. Of this amount half the cost is for transportation. Course usually are two weekend days per week - auto mechanic is two years full time and cost $3,000 over two years. Courses offered range from sewing, cooking, baking, computer/phone repair, welding, auto mechanic, motorcycle repair, auto body shop, hair dressing, etc. Our students leave home at 5 AM and return at 7:30 PM...they are devoted and steadfast in their desire to learn. With the Lords continued blessings TFC will grow its list of graduates. It is our calling to be as flexible as one can be in meeting each students individual needs and that of their Family. Often, when a child goes to school it reduces the total family income, and in some cases prevents a child from attending school. TFC will supplement the family income when a child is attending school. TFC plans to build an all purpose building in the youths home village to provide family support, be it a nursery, parenting class, adult vocational training, etc. With God's blessings TFC will be successful with all the praise to the Lord. TFC is just one of many of the Lord's tools for the kingdom of God.
