Eli was selected to join a network of entrepreneurs in El Salvador

Eli grew up in a Christian home and has remained an active member of the Church of God. We learned about his passion for sharing the gospel through social action and active leadership. When he was introduced to LFTK he was working as Director of "Dádivas de Dios" Gifts from God, a program funded by Compassion Ministries to serve children from poor families in the town of San Luis de la Reina. Eli's dream of achieving a Bachelor's degree seemed impossible as he was unable to pay for school tuition while paying for his sick father's treatments.

In 2020, LFTK granted Eli a full scholarship in the school and career of his choice. With his church and ministry in mind, Eli opted to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Andrés Bello University in San Miguel. Soon after Eli started his third school year, he was selected by elders of his church to become part of the leadership in "REYES" Network of Entrepreneurs of El Salvador. A ministry focused in connecting business owners with a Kingdom mindset to impact their communities and help smaller businesses grow.

In addition to this recognition, Eli has also been serving as a member of the local rights committee in San Luis de La Reina, El Salvador. The local rights committee serves to protect the live of people in this community from possible vulnerabilities.

With $100 a month, we are able to cover Eli's school tuition, books, exams, laboratories, and transportation. It is a privilege to witness Eli's growing in knowledge and putting it into the service of God's Kingdom. We are proud of Eli’s leadership, hard work, and heart for serving his community.
