HOPE RENEWED STAFF HIGHLIGHT
We have always been so grateful for our HRI employees--doubly so in these trying times. So we decided to highlight some each month. So let us start by telling you about someone VERY SPECIAL:
TEST FORM - Square Space
Obed has been employed with Hope Renewed for 9 years, now. He started with the organization when he was only a teenager. He is currently the Community Outreach Director.
Obed was born in Guatemala City to parents who both served as pastors. He is one of five siblings.
Obed has been married to his wife, Lesli, for nearly a decade. They have two wonderful children. His daughter, Libny, just turned 9 this week and Abner is 5.
Obed says that he sees his children reflected in every girl and boy he meets in the Guatemalan communities, and this reminds him to always serve in love
When asked how the pandemic has affected his life, Obed says it has allowed him to be much closer with his family. They have been serving alongside him since the start.
Obed’s prayer requests:
That God would grant him wisdom in making decisions for HRI
Strength to be fair and just in all he does
That he and his wife can acquire a car so that he is able to more easily get around the communities to serve. They are currently borrowing one from a family member, but would like to have their own
It has been such a pleasure to see Obed grow in his leadership within the organization as well as to witness him shepherd so many within the community.
