Sergio, a native of Colorado, made a life changing decision to move to Guatemala with his family to help develop the lifestyle center. In a time when many young adults might not take on such responsibilities, Sergio’s dedication and selflessness stand out and deserve recognition. After the passing of his father in January 2023, Sergio assumed the role of head of his household, stepping up in a way that is truly commendable.

Sergio’s role in the lifestyle center is pivotal. He manages logistics, overseeing workers, and ensuring that all necessary construction materials are available. He quickly mastered both the welding and masonry trades, becoming a vital part of the building process. In addition, with his father’s passing, who was the center’s agricultural engineer, Sergio took on the responsibility of managing the center's agricultural operations. His ability to quickly learn and excel in agriculture is essential to the center’s mission, as much of the food provided to guests comes directly from their gardens.

Sergio will also serve as the Agriculture Teacher, guiding others in learning how to grow their own food and incorporate fresh, healthy produce into their diets. His leadership, dedication, and commitment to the center and his community are truly inspiring, setting an example for others to follow.

Though José, lovingly known as "Chavelo", is no longer with us, he will always be remembered as a vital part of this team. His legacy continues to inspire and guide us as we near the completion of the lifestyle center, a project that was close to his heart. José was to be the chief engineer of our agricultural center, and while he didn't live to see the fruits of his labor, his impact on this project is immeasurable.

José was a farmer for most of his life, possessing impressive agricultural skills and knowledge. He cultivated his land with a variety of fruits and vegetables, and his expertise in farming was widely recognized. Known for his generosity and integrity, José was a respected figure in the community, admired not only for his skills but for the fact that he lived a life free from vices.

Later in life, José came to know the Lord, and his passion for sharing the gospel became a defining characteristic. He became an avid reader of the Bible, often taking every opportunity to share the Word with those around him. His dedication to his faith and to improving the lives of others through both his work and his ministry touched many people.

We honor José's memory and the profound mark he left on this community and this project. As we carry forward his vision, we take comfort in knowing that he rests in peace, waiting for the day he will rise again in Jesus. His contributions to both agriculture and spiritual growth will never be forgotten.
