Casas por Cristo | Meet the Suruy Family

This is Jose Antonio’s family. For many years, they lived in a very small space, sharing a home with other families. Jose has worked hard to build a house of his own, but over time, he was only able to purchase land. He works as a security guard for a company in Guatemala City. One of the challenges of his job is the long daily commute.

Raymunda, Jose’s wife, works from home making fireworks to help with household expenses. For many years, Jose worried about not having a home, especially as he got older. He prayed faithfully for God’s provision, and now he is overjoyed to have a home of his own.

Prayer Request: Jose travels to Guatemala City for work. Please pray for his safety on the road.
