Among the flies and trash, God is so evident!

Jonas is the son of Juan Deleon. Juan is one of the strongest Bible teachers on the entire island and has worked with David Savage of Kingdom Builders for more than 20 years. All of his sons are in ministry and strong teachers of the Word of God.

Jonas started a little outreach 10 minutes away from his fathers church. The place is called La Mosca, which is a burning trash dump with flies all around. Jonas started by having a kids outreach in the afternoon and it grew into a small school.

G.O Ministries got on board three years ago and have since partnered Jonas with Crestwood Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. G.O. has grown the school, fixed up the church, built a nutrition center, and increased the sports outreach and medical outreach in the community.

In the current feeding center, they feed 120 kids one hot meal six days a week.

Now, we are in the process of raising funds to purchase land up above the dump to get kids away from the smoke, garbage, and flies.

The land is almost $90,000 which will be used to build a new church, playground, basketball/volleyball court, and eventually a new school.





















These are two sweet faces of children that are being supported in this feeding center! Thank you Crestwood Baptist Church!
